Graffiti

Origins

Graffiti is a visually striking and expressive style of art that originated in the late 1960s to early 1970s. It became famous for its bold, colorful, and often elaborate lettering and images painted on public spaces such as walls, trains, and buildings. This rebellious form of art gained prominence in urban cities and served as a voice for marginalized communities. Spray paint and markers are commonly used to create intricate designs and vibrant colors. Graffiti artists embrace a sense of anonymity and often adopt pseudonyms to avoid legal repercussions for their work.
