Graffiti Tchno

For years, this enigmatic and “criminal” expression of art was misunderstood and loathed. However, despite the misinterpretations, graffiti continued to flow over city to city, train to train, and eventually spilled into American suburbs, rich neighborhoods, and overseas. The artful rebellion was about raw emotion, determination, and creative fortitude. Not only did these creatures of the night have to sneak their masterpiece on various forms of public viewed property, but it was heavily frowned upon and a crime punishable by law. Still, the colors floated via train from one side of the city to the other; contaminating various eyes with a mysterious beauty never seen before by many. As the trains traveled, so did the tales of many neighborhoods, as well as their languages, names, pride, and souls.

As the 70′s brushed by, graffiti continued to be the art of choice in many urban settings. Eventually adopting it as one of its four elements, Hip Hop became the soundtrack to the effervescent force known as graffiti, and much like its musical counterpart, it has dazzled and pulsated through the streets to this very day.
