Folks are obsessed with graffiti in one way or another. Some who are ‘linked’ to ‘urban’ culture wander about in ‘inner’ city environments and soak up the terse graffiti attitude of the shite riddle walls and nod approval of some paint splashed on some bricks. It’s fucking boring. When some moron student in a Mecca hoody twice the size of Wales, ends his 3 years of ‘African Art Culture’ with an essay with the title of ‘Graffiti is art, more than Picasso even…’ ; you know it’s a shit subject matter. Wank even. Look at his reasoning for fucks sake:
“Graffiti art is an art form. The reasons, including aesthetic criteria, as to why it is an art form far outweigh the criticism of illegality, incoherence, and non-standard presentation. The objective of this nonsense is to explain how graffiti art overcomes these concerns and thereby can be considered as total arse.”
I could go on, and I will. Huge brands seem to think it a good idea to put graffiti on trainers. Even the US don’t buy into this shite. Why bother? Tease out some unknown tosser who sprays paint from a can and plaster it on a hideous silhouette. Seems like a good idea to me…..
