Graffiti – eyeful art or eyesore vandalism
Keywords:
Graffiti Vandalism Street artAbstract
In this article I am aiming on define Graffiti and unfolding the knot of confusion that whether it is eyeful art or eyesore vandalism. In layman language we can say that graffiti isan exercise of unlawfulpainting or writing any openly visual surfaces, butthis practice of marking or painting is not new infact it dates back to the beginning of society or civilization.Graffiti in its recent form is a shared or community artistic phenomenon that begun in 60s in Philadelphia and New York, and now has full-fledged spread into an international lobby. If we ever notice or focus on graffiti on the road sidesor on publicly visible surfaces,what kind of feeling do you get? either you feel amazed and admire the beauty of the art work or you will feel annoyed, discourage the work and consider it as vandalism, but the fact is that the definition of art is different according to different person(the beauty is in the eye of the viewer) and another fact is that a decent art work is rarely discouraged by anyone.
