GRAFFITI & STREET ART
Street art is photography's most impatient collaborator — it appears overnight, fades in weeks and gets painted over without warning. Documenting it is its own form of urgency.
This gallery collects murals, tags and urban interventions from Barcelona's neighbourhoods — Poblenou, El Raval, Gràcia — and from cities like London, where artists like Mr Cenz turn entire walls into something that has no business being that good. The work belongs to the artists. The photographs belong to bCLPhoto.
The gallery that was never meant to be in a gallery.

Leaving London, the walls change accent but not attitude. Brooklyn murals, East Village icons, a rabbit on a corner in Ghent — each one photographed knowing it might not exist next month. That impermanence is half the reason to shoot them.
