One well-known street artist in New York City goes by the name of Swoon. She creates detailed paper cutouts of people that she observes around her. She places these life-size images on walls in different areas of New York. One of her artwork is of a little boy playing. The boy is turning his smiling face and seems to be running into the distance. The lines of Swoon's drawing give energy and movements to the picture. She placed the pictures of the boy next to other large graffiti images. It looks like the boy is running in-between the different pieces of artwork.

纽约市一位著名的街头艺术家名叫斯沃恩(Swoon)。她为她周围观察到的人制作精细的剪纸,把这些真人大小的图像贴在纽约不同地区的墙上。她的作品之一是一个正在玩耍的小男孩。这个男孩正扭转着他的笑脸,似乎向远处跑去。斯沃恩的绘画线条赋予了画面活力和动感。她把男孩的图像放在其他大型涂鸦图片旁边,看起来像是这个男孩在不同的艺术品之间奔跑。

Swoon did not start her career making street art. She studied fine art at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. But she soon lost interest in the traditional modes of making and exhibiting art and started taking her art into the streets.

斯沃恩的职业生涯并不是从街头艺术开始的。她在纽约布鲁克林的普拉特学院学习美术,但很快就对传统的艺术创作和展览方式失去了兴趣,而开始把她的艺术带到街头。

Swoon enjoys the freedom of expression which street art permits. And people enjoy Swoon's strong and imaginative pictures as well. In fact, the Museum of Modern Art in New York City has bought several of her works.

斯沃恩享受街头艺术所允许的自由表达,人们也喜欢斯沃恩强烈而富有想象力的照片。事实上,纽约市现代艺术博物馆已经买下了她的几件作品。

Many corners in Paris show the work of an artist known as Space Invader. The name came from a video game that was very popular in the1980s. This French artist uses small colorful squares of glass to make images of space creatures, and he places his creations on buildings all around Paris. He says that he is leaving a gift to the city with his art.

巴黎的许多角落都展示了一位被称为太空入侵者(Space Invader)的艺术家的作品,这个名字来自一个在20世纪80年代非常流行的电子游戏。这位法国艺术家用五颜六色的小玻璃方块来制作太空生物的图像,他把他的作品放在巴黎周围的建筑物上。他说,他要把他的艺术作为礼物送给这座城市。
