Research

The main focus of this project is to change regulations in the UK. Although, it seems we are not the only ones who would like the regulations to change. Below is a website that shows all the available walls around the world that allows artists to display their work without fear of having it cleaned away, due to people finding it offensive.

Graffiti art is recognised as a worthy adversery form to many existing artists, and critics even TK MAX sells banksy prints.

There are a few others that agree that it should either be legalised or have more places dedicated to it, I have found a few sites similar to this one that promote the idea. However this is just a small amount compared to the global support that is given to good artists.

Graffiti Artist: C215



C215 is a Paris based graffiti artist who remains almost completely anonymous his “name” is apparently known to the few people who have managed to interview him, he does artistic graffiti art of people’s faces, this is definitely a good example of why certain graffiti styles should be promoted instead of painted over.
