Graffiti



"The Art Crime"


In my opinion graffiti is a lost ART. A negative stigma seems to surround the idea of "graffiti". City officials/law enforcement see graffiti as a form of vandalism. Originally, graffiti was used by gangs to mark their territory in ubran areas, however, in modern times, grafitti has evolved into a form of unrestricted expression of ideas and statements. Many creative designers worldwide use this form of art to deliver their message to the world. One of my favourite artists is Banksy, a famous pseudo-anonymous British artist whose works focus on topics such as politics, culture, and ethics. His art has appeared in cities around the world, i thought i'd share some of his amazing work. It's worth a look!
