GRAFFITI-art or not?


Art is a bundle of thoughts and emotions put together to make a visual extravaganza. Therefore graffiti is indeed art. Graffiti serves many purposes such as, advertisement and a communication instrument for social and political messages. The issues of location and representation are the most significant obstacles however graffiti can not be ignored simply because it is not presented in the conservative location framed in the matter of Picasso and placed in a museum. The daring location of it on a wall or subway without permission only makes it more exciting to me. Vandalism…if you must, but doesn’t exclude it as art.
