Urban Graffiti

Often when construction is in process, there are dumpsters for the material that is discarded. Some of these provide graffiti artists with
a wonderful surface on which they can express their collective art. Unlike my tree graffiti photographs, vibrant color is often used and there is a large space to create spontaneous images. Two examples of this urban art form in my portfolio are titled, “Life’s Deal” and “The Circle of Life.” Here is another example of the work of a group of artists who created, layer, by layer this graffiti image. What do you see in this highly textured and vibrantly colored canvas of symbolic images? As part of the projective play of interpreting what you see, I want to use your creativity in giving this piece a title. View this in the large form
to appreciate the imagery.

    Thanks John. I love to experiment. I think you will find the same style in my two other works, Circle of Life and Life’s Deal. I thought this piece was fun like I was seeing a group of colorful animated characters. I appreciate your comments.

    The image I see is a person in the middle-left escaping the more structured bindings of the life and society in the lower-right. He is needing to flee because those structures are pursuing him… they don’t want ANYONE to escape. It’s a complex bizarre world out there, but he’s willing to accept its difficulties over being held by the inflexible controling structures that have held him his entire life. The title needs to be “Escape!”

    A land in the change of seasons is what this makes me feel Julie. A day when that tempestuous wind, whose temperature is at once mild and animating, was collecting the vapours which pour down the autumnal rains. They began, at sunset with a violent tempest of hail and rain, attended by that magnificent thunder and lightning peculiar to the Cisalpine regions. Shelly’s wonderful poem Ode To The West Wind best describes this for me….............................................
    Make me thy lyre, even as the forest is:
    What if my leaves are falling like its own!
    The tumult of thy mighty harmonies

    Will take from both a deep, autumnal tone,
    Sweet though in sadness. Be thou, Spirit fierce,
    My spirit! Be thou me, impetuous one!

    Drive my dead thoughts over the universe
    Like withered leaves to quicken a new birth!
    And, by the incantation of this verse,

    Scatter, as from an unextinguished hearth
    Ashes and sparks, my words among mankind!
    Be through my lips to unawakened earth

    The trumpet of a prophecy! O, Wind,
    If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?

    Words by Percy Bysshe Shelley
    This is a magnificent piece Julie and I could sit and look at this for hours! How wonderful that you can spot these amazing images and then bring them to the world!Sx
