Literally some of the Best Ever - BestEver









































































Neil Edward and Hadley Newman are the makers

of Best Ever street art and have been painting for 15

years together. Best Ever works reflect disease, death

and mental disorders within the human race. They

describe their works as “anatomical, mathematical

realism” or “disturbed painterly realism”. What they

are really trying to do is make artworks displaying

that humans are not beautiful as most other works

show, they want the viewer to look at humans as

filthy and abnormal beings.


These two guys paint very strong imagery as a graffiti art

that looks almost like photo realism. This is a fine example

of graffiti mixing with fine art to create an exceptional finished

work. This kind of art is a step above the rest in my

opinion because it is so different from the usual street

art you see. Which most commonly consists of expressive

characters or very impressive graffiti typefaces.


The way these portraits are portrayed is another reason for the

public to begin to make graffiti socially acceptable this is

because the works, although trying to be ugly are in fact

truly beautiful in almost every way. Best Ever is literally

some of the Best ever when it comes to graffiti art and I

believe that their work is amazing and very influential.
