Multi dimensional Graffiti


Banksy

Above

Here are two great pieces that break the traditional barriers established by the built environment. There is something about the extension from the wall onto the ground which transforms these pieces from an 'unremarkable visual pollution' into pieces that force acknowledgment as a result of their inherent relationship with the build world in which they exist. The Banksy piece is especially effective in that it literally transposes an already present element of the built world(road markings) directly onto the wall to create a seamless melding of our surrounding space and graffiti.
