About Graffiti

[Alaun]

Is there something like a blank wall in our little city of Bonn? Not for long. Soon it will be covered by graffiti. Many of it boring.
To overcome this, some people have started, to invite graffiti artists to paint their walls.

This a very recent one, quite impressive.

Nice one by you and the Artist.  It is a very good idea to have some choice in what goes on the walls.  Street Art is new to Goa and I stumbles across some a few days back.  I was happy to see them. 
Cheers,

This street art is certainly different (in a nice way) and well captured by yourself and your NEX.

That's a great one, Werner.

On the net, I've seen a news footage of the German "artists" who attack U-Bahn and S-Bahn to paint the whole train including the windows with the spray paints in a few minutes, shoot videos of the processes and post them on their YouTube channel.  Their "works" are very ugly and their activities are heinous.

The graffiti paints on the wall in general look monotonous and stylistically the same all over the world.  They suffer from the absence of originality.

I think providing the walls to proper and aspiring artists as huge canvases is a good idea.  Werner's image is a fine example and appropriate for the city of Bonn.

I don't see graffiti; I see a mural.
