I picked this graffiti piece because of its location. I normally think of graffiti as being on the sides of buildings or bridges, but this piece was located on the door of a wine cellar. I liked it because of how elegant and simple it looks, almost like caligraphy. I think it acutally enhances the appearance of the cellar. The white color choice also adds to its elegance.
I definitely think that graffiti is art, no question. I can only imagine that it would take a tremendous amount of talent to even do this simple piece that I am highlighting. It takes a creative mind that understands shape, spacing, color and many other art elements. I definitely think that graffiti is widely underappreciated and that there should be more of place for it in the art world.
