Sometimes the answer was clear to me: no, this is graffiti not art !
Sometimes it was a bit of fun: (mine is the rainbow on the right - later in the day this was covered, I think nearly everyone had a go!)
Sometimes it was witty
And sometimes it was pretty
There was some unusual art - these kittens had been rescued from the riverbank a few weeks ago - they were dipped in a food colouring paste to create "Art"
And bed springs were used to grow flowers
And finally, two lovely wooden pieces of furniture - this bench at a street cafe
And this gorgeous table top made for Lisa by a friend
So when does graffiti become art ? For me, it's when I like it or it makes me laugh but I expect the street clean team have a different view!

I think graffiti is ok when it's done on a designated wall. I don't like it when it ruins the subject it's painted on
ReplyDeleteBeauty is in the eye of the beholder as is art!
ReplyDeleteGraffiti is fine on your own wall.
ReplyDeleteI have seen some really cool art that way but when it's wanton destruction of my property, then no.
I absolutely love yarnbombing - even though it is done on someone else's property. At least it can be undone easily.
Always a good and controversial question when it refers to 'street art' - some of which is art, some of which is fun and some of which is downright vandalism!
ReplyDeleteFun tour. I'm going with art being something that is not deliberately destructive to innocent parties.
ReplyDeleteI agree. It is art if you like it, otherwise it is rubbish.
