Bold

BOLD carries a lot of weight—literally and figuratively. It can describe striking colours, daring artistic choices, fearless ideas, or even an unapologetic attitude.

In art, bold can mean vivid, high-contrast colours that demand attention, or it can refer to strong, confident lines that shape a composition with purpose.

In street art, boldness isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about making a statement—whether political, cultural, or deeply personal.

Here is a large-scale murals bursting with abstract geometric compositions that play with perspective, colour is a key tool for grabbing attention and evoking emotion.

Public art also harnesses the power of colour to make statements like this massive, bright sculpture in a city square.
