Description
How ironic this scene is! It is simple compared to most graffiti but even still it is graffiti and graffiti is art and the existence of the new chain link fences brings up questions to me.
Was the fence erected to protect the art or to protect the artist? Or was it installed to protect the already crumbling structure? What came first, the fence or the art?
I am by no means an expert on graffiti except that I find it colorful and sometimes very talented but I have been told that many times it has a meaning. 'What is the meaning to these 3 letters?' I wonder. Is it the name or initials of a person or group of people or is it just 3 letters? Is it an ominous threat or it is just entertainment for a bored teenager?
That, to me, makes a good argument to those who claim that graffiti isn't art. It makes the viewer think and sometimes ask questions. For that reason I would say that there is plenty of room in the art world for a can of spray paint and a little imagination. After all, art, as in beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.
