Graffiti is most often associated with bad things, as various subcultures use it to express their rebellion. This does not mean, however, that we do not classify them as works of art. What's more, some graffiti is worth admiring.

Street art as added value - when graffiti beautifies the city https://citymagazine.si/en/street-art-as-added-value-when-graffiti-beautifies-the-city/ Sat, 26 Nov 2016 07:04:23 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=article&p=269123

In the eyes of most people, street art is inferior and despised. The authorities do not approve of her, nor do the people view her in an overly positive light. Most of them are associated with abandoned, poor and decaying parts of the city. But after viewing these photos, you will certainly change your view of street art, which has been brought into disrepute mainly by 'smearers'. These graffiti brought these previously boring locations to life and breathed life into the city.

Graffiti with strong environmental messages that communicate an uncomfortable truth https://citymagazine.si/en/graffiti-with-strong-environmental-messages-that-communicate-an-unpleasant-truth/ Tue, 14 Apr 2015 09:23:07 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=article&p=155104

Graffiti has always been an ideal medium for conveying overheard ideas to a wider audience. They are an integral part of cities and often more than mere vandalism. They walk a fine line all the time, so we can't agree whether they are art or "violence" over the city. But what we can agree on is that many graffiti carry a strong message. They are holding up a mirror to us, telling us an uncomfortable truth. Let's look at the best examples of those that shed light on environmental problems.

Streetart artist Levalet: Comic graffiti on the streets of Paris https://citymagazine.si/en/streetart-artist-levalet-comic-graffiti-on-the-streets-of-paris/ Sun, 15 Feb 2015 09:20:36 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=article&p=139596

The French street art artist Levalet is to blame for the fact that the streets of Paris are decorated with comical graffiti that make us think. His works, the content of which is linked to the specificity of the street or the locations he explores, also have a generous measure of humor.

iHeart: Social Networks Shown Through Graffiti https://citymagazine.si/en/iheart-social-networking-displayed-through-graffiti/ Wed, 04 Feb 2015 06:11:42 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=article&p=137071

The digital age has in many ways changed our cultural patterns for good, which inspired a Canadian artist from Vancouver with the pseudonym iHeart to present through graffiti the effects and changes of the digital age on the younger generation, who mainly through social networks but also other digital tools and smart phones, moved away from traditional norms of behavior.

Graffiti with a "soft heart" https://citymagazine.si/en/graffiti-soft-heart/ Fri, 14 Nov 2014 05:05:28 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=article&p=114400

Graffiti is too often equated with vandalism, because graffiti art is actually an art that is purposefully placed in a space. But like elsewhere, this is also used for bad purposes, for discrediting, for destroying property, etc. And since the media emphasize this side more than the artistic side, public opinion is what it is. But it must be admitted, even if graffiti is not a work of art, it can be a fun urban addition in the form of vandalism.
