Beauty
I love graffiti art, which brings beauty to ugly spaces. Architecture and urban design should be beautiful. Yet large parts of our cities have succumbed to urban sprawl, low-cost construction and unimaginative block-buildings. The cancer of concrete and asphalt has turned our living and working environments into monuments to ugliness. Graffiti art is the antidote. With its bright colours and bold, creative images, graffiti rescues us from the drab, the disfigured and the downright depressing. This is the true purpose of art – to transform, to shine a light in the darkness, to give us pause for reflection, to beautify.
