Graffiti as Art On a Random Wall

posted on 5 May 2011 | posted in Arts and Entertainment


I like graffiti, that is - graffiti with meaning and purpose, one notable example being Banksy's piece entitled if graffiti changed anything it would be illegal . Mostly I like graffiti which look great and carry a message or emotions within it. It is fascinating how much can be passed on from a simple picture on a wall you see while walking to work, or riding into the bus. Now days there are too many graffiti “artists”, kids with spray paint drawing and writing almost everything on the street walls. I don’t approve that. It is disrespectful for the people, and for the good graffiti artists out there, and just make the place look ugly and vandalized. Even though almost everyone is used to seeing random graffiti around the streets, not everyone can see a graffiti drawn by artist like Banksy and just say that it does not look good or it is just vandalism.
