GRAFITTI: What's the logic by those who do it?

[shadow]

art expression nila yun...

[altec]

when the owner or the government repaints the wall, di tumatagal, meron na naman. At least most of them knows how to respect walls that have art paintings on it, di nila sinusulatan. Yung mga sinusulat ng kung anu-ano sa banyo, di naman yun marking the territory ng mga taga frat, yun ba ang walang matinong magawa sa buhay? Writings like the one you are holding is the future of the country.

It's marking territory. It's just like pissing on something, a way of showing that you were there.

Same with vandalism... a pathetic, silent scream of rage, to tell the world "F**k you all! I was here!"

Poverty, illiteracy (or idiocy, take your pick) and the lack of better outlets of self-expression = vandalism and grafitti (your standard dirt slogans and tags, mind you... not the artistic ones).

How about the infamous MMDA Art? Considered ba to na grafitti, kasi ang baduy. Kung ano anong shape pinaint nila, kung plain white na lang or something hindi pa magastos.

That's what you call vandalism

graffiti is both art and vandal. depende nalang on how it's been printed and what it looked like.

I agree. There's a difference between this



and this



Pero both illegal pa rin.

i consider graffiti as art. it is an emerging medium especially in the philippines.

one of the artists i love the most is banksy, a graffiti specialist in the UK. just :google: him if you wanna see his works.

but what the graffiti artists need to understand is they have to find places where they can do their art. hinde yun mag-i-spray sila sa walls sa flyover (in ateneo and up in katipunan).

i saw their documentary in the correspondents, and they say it's art, and that's how they de-stress and all. that's ok, we all have freedom to express ourselves.

but if you trample on existing laws and other people's property like walls, etc. then you're not an artist. you're just some punk. why? because all the freedoms our constitution has guaranteed us have limits so law and order will still prevail.

if we can't follow a simple rule as anti-vandalism ordinances or as petty as bawal umihi/magtapon dito, then we need to be really concerned for our country's future
