Street Art in Georgia: Modern, Diverse and Thought-Provoking

Considering the long history of graffiti, this artform only became popular in Georgia in the early 2000s. Currently, there are about 10 well-known street artists in Georgia who use various techniques to paint graffiti and murals across the country, but mostly in Tbilisi (the capital city) and Batumi (the seaside city).
