Re: Graffiti

it looks wicked! it's a way for people to express them selfs so yes it is Art...

Re: Graffiti

so creative!
it definitely is art, but should it be allowed?
as long as the artist has the building owner's permission. Also, it would depend on what sort of content is to be presented. I mean freedom of expression can be easily abused so maybe that could cause problems.

It is an art although the pictures are little bit weird but still its an art.

Re: Graffiti

there is a good graffiti and then there is a bad graffiti. high art depends on how intricate and how less its is accessible to the commoner (for gaining pleasure purposes)

whereas graffiti is more todays fordism (massively produced)

I like the type of graffiti that's more pictures rather that words. I really like Banky's style of graffiti.
