*Is Graffiti art or just Messy?*
The question is, “Is Graffiti Art or just Messy?”; well it could actually be both, depending on your perspective to what art is and where it is. Graffiti could just be messy art yet there people that are just trying to make the country beautiful. So, here are my statements abou Graffiti is ART (yet also messy).
“Graffiti Art/Artists”
There are two types of Graffiti; tagging and Graffiti, well that’s how I’ll separate the two different types of Graffiti. Tagging is when you imprint your signature on a building, it’s most commonly seen on daries/stores and possibly on dark alleyways. Graffiti is normally an inspired image or thoughts, opinions or points of view from Graffiti Artists. Although Graffiti is mostly illegal, some Graffiti is kept due to its meaning or greatness of its content.
“Perspective”
As I’ve mentioned in the introduction, your perspective(point of view) of what art is; is what makes you think; “Is this Art? Or Messy?”. Well everything can be seen as art, even scribbles can be seen as beautiful art. Tagging names on dairies, etc are annoying yet the font it’s written is sometimes incredible. Graffiti/tagging can be seen everywhere around the word or even in your town/city. Although tagging is somewhat illegal and someone DOES have to go around cleaning/painting over it but not all tagging is removed. Graffiti/tagging can be seen on sides of building; some even have a true message/meaning/etc.
“More Graffiti Artist(s)”
Anyone could become a Graffiti artist, it doesn’t even have to be sprayed onto buildings, it could be simply be on a piece of paper, etc. Although you may want to think before you graffiti on any building. There are anonymous graffiti artists that arts get sold, meaning they earn money for doing what they do; anonymous graffiti artists don’t give away their identify to the public. A graffiti artist called; “Banksy” is one of most known yet anonymous graffiti artist, speaking his thoughts and opinions through graffiti. Most Graffiti artists speak their opinions/thoughts through graffiti, people that tag are just placing names. Some other Graffiti Artists are called; “Above”, “Lady Pink”, “Seen” and other great names.
Although maybe my message isn’t clear about our little question; “Is Graffiti Art or just Messy?”. Well the truth is, my answer is actually both. Tagging your signatures on someone else’s property is bad yet could also be good; including when it looks really good. Graffiti Art that is inspiring, amazing, filled with opinion then it might be good enough to be kept for the Public.
Graffiti is just messy art. 👍
