RE: Graffiti art in the railway underpass
Wonderful images of colourful graffiti artwork @atnicholson When I see random scribbled graffiti which vandalises property, I do not class that as art but when it is thoughtfully composed and painted on areas designed for graffiti, then I believe that comes into the category of art.
Couldn't agree more @trudeehunter. I really detest graffiti most of the time, but yes, this was very well done, brightened up a gloomy railway underpass, and I believe it had the full blessing of the railways, or council.
Yes @atnicholson Having the full blessing of the council makes all the difference. Most of these designs are done without sketches or drafts before painting on the walls so a lot of artistic talent is employed to create some incredible images. Melbourne has some amazing lanes adorned with contemporary graffiti.
