50 Pieces Of “Vandalism” That Only Make Cities More Interesting, As Shared On This Online Group
Rebellion can be an art form. And what's a more 'F You, I Won't Do What You Tell Me' art form than graffiti? It's not simply about 'sticking it to the man,' either – it is a legitimate kind of art. Some of the most famous contemporary artists also dabbled in graffiti and street art, from Keith Haring and Jean Michel-Basquiat to Shepard Fairey and Banksy.
So, this time, we're dedicating some time to explore the depths of graffiti and street art. The community r/Graffiti is a place for enthusiasts and appreciators alike. We've compiled a list of the most fascinating entries and present them to you here.
Below, you will also find our short chat with graffiti artist Uzio. He told Bored Panda more about how graffiti doesn't necessarily have to involve spray paint, how he chooses locations for his artworks, and about how being a graffiti artist doesn't mean you must be an outlaw.

I love all this street art. There are so many talented artists out there that don't get an outlet for their talent. I'm talented with pencils, oil paints and wood - but I respect what people can do with spray paint. Not all graffiti is just gang tags, some of it is so amazing. I just wish we could see more of it. Art inspires. But permission should be granted first. Great post OP

I enjoyed a lot of these, but it wasn't what I was expecting. The thread was described as showcasing 'vandalism', rebellion, and an eff you attitude. City-commissioned pieces by professional artists, and pieces replicating commercial characters, are hardly rebellious or sticking it to the man. I hope real graffiti and street art aren't just getting co-opted by capitalism like everything else.

These are amazing, I can't even get my head around how they did them! I've used spray paint once (for a decor project) and it is really hard to get the colour even.
