Tha luchd ealain ainmeil a鈥� d猫anamh air Alba bho gach ce脿rnaidh dhen t-saoghal airson aon de na tachartasan ealain-sr脿ide as motha san Roinn E貌rpa: Nuart Obar Dheathain. Buaireasach, ionmholta, a鈥� cur an aghaidh ughdarras; abair gun toir e buaidh air an 脿ite.

Chaidh dusan ealanaiche-sr脿ide fhastadh airson meadhan baile Obar Dheathain ath-bheothachadh, ach chan eil aca ach c貌ig latha airson a' bhaile a thoirt be貌 mus fhosgail an Fh猫is.

鈥楽 e am fear-ealain Martyn Reed a tha st猫idhichte ann an Stavangar, a chur Nuart air bhonn. Tha e ag iarraidh cur 脿s dha na bacaidhean a tha a' cumail obair ealain air leth, agus fhosgladh dhan t-sluagh. Tha e a' feuchainn ri annas a dh猫anamh 脿s an 脿bhaist, agus 's e sin cuspair na F猫ise 鈥淎 Revolution of the Ordinary鈥�.

Cha b' fhada bho bha graffiti m矛-laghail, ach a-nise tha f猫il mh貌r air ealain-sr脿ide. Tha sinn a鈥� leanntainn na h-ealanaichean fhad 's a tha iad ag ath-bhe貌thachadh c霉l-shr脿idean Obar Dheathain.

World famous artists arrive in Scotland from all corners of the globe for one of Europe鈥檚 biggest street art events: Nuart Aberdeen. Edgy, stunning, provocative, subversive; their work makes an impact. These 12 international street artists have come to paint the grey streets of Aberdeen red (and blue, and green) and they have only five days to complete their work before the Festival opens.

Stavanger-based artist Martyn Reed, who founded Nuart, is on a mission to remove the barriers that place art on a pedestal 鈥� and return it to the people. He wants to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary, giving rise to the festival鈥檚 theme 鈥楢 Revolution of the Ordinary鈥�.

But when does illegal graffiti become celebrated street art? We get behind the scenes to see what makes the artists tick, what inspires their work, and how they cope when the weather turns. The results provoke reactions - some good, some bad and in one case the art proves just too much and has to be taken down.
