Social Activism
Formal artists are supposedly bound by arts aesthetics boundaries that critics set through the centuries. Those art critics set the standards for beauty; material used, meaning, originality, and the uniqueness. Graffitists are supposedly graphic, uneducated, and vulgar with their works, and anything is a canvas.
However, in the early 19080’s Keith Haring, a young artist changed art through rage. Keith was art educated, but he combined graffiti vulgarities with pop culture, and his canvases were New York City subway walls.
On Thursday’s the trash goes out to the alley, last Thursday (08/26/2010), the gate opening left a lasting impression. The walls were tagged, and upon further exploration, it seemed our little artist tagged the whole alley.
The art reminded me of Keith Haring instantly, but then another Graffitist came to mind Banksy. Banksy art is very unique and maybe our little tagger needs to go to art school, and learn about Haring and Banksy and become an educated art activist versus being truant from school.
Young or Old visionaries are always welcome here speak up for you shall be heard …
