Graffiti Quotes

Graffiti writers were the most interesting people in hip hop. They were the mad scientists, the mad geniuses, the weird ones Picture Quote #1

Street culture is punk, hip-hop, skateboarding, surfing, graffiti. It’s like a massive global culture that is all tied together. But for so many years it was very geographic Picture Quote #1

Traditional graffiti writers have a bunch of rules they like to stick to, and good luck to them, but I didn’t become a graffiti artist so I could have somebody else tell me what to do. If you’re the type who gets sentimental about people scribbling over your stuff, I suggest graffiti is probably not the right hobby for you Picture Quote #1

Obviously my own work comes from a conceptual art tradition, but I love the graffiti artists, and I feel spiritually closer to them than to most contemporary art; they make the city a free space of diverse voices and we shouldn’t get all cynical about them just because Banksy made some money. I collaborate sometimes with Krae, who is an old school east London graffiti writer Picture Quote #1

Some people are enraged, and some people are applauding. If there were a mission statement for graffiti, that would be it Picture Quote #1

All the work I did was to challenge politics, culture, and women’s rights. I felt like I really wanted to break out. That’s why I wanted to use graffiti. It’s more open. I don’t need people to come to an exhibition. Graffiti gives a voice to the walls Picture Quote #1

I have a company that does design and animation, so obviously graffiti is definitely an intricate part of what we admire and respect in the art world Picture Quote #1

Graffiti writers will never stop. They’ll just evolve. It’s interesting what ideas people come up with and how it all extends forward Picture Quote #1

I started when I was 15 years old. And at that time, I was not thinking about changing the world, I was doing graffiti - writing my name everywhere, using the city as a canvas. I was going in the tunnels of Paris, on the rooftops with my friends. Each trip was an excursion, was an adventure Picture Quote #1

Think of these pages as graffiti maybe, and where I have scratched up in a public place my longings and loves, my grievances and indecencies, be reminded in private of your own. In that way, at least, we can hold a kind of converse Picture Quote #1

People say graffiti is ugly, irresponsible and childish... but that’s only if it’s done properly Picture Quote #1

Graffiti is one of the few tools you have if you have almost nothing. And even if you don’t come up with a picture to cure world poverty you can make someone smile while they’re having a piss Picture Quote #1

Graffiti has been used to start revolutions, stop wars, and generally is the voice of people who aren’t listened to. Graffiti is one of those few tools you have if you have almost nothing. And even if you don’t come up with a picture to cure world poverty you can make somebody smile while they’re having a piss Picture Quote #1

Currently, it was leading him through a neighborhood that was on the downside of whatever curve you hoped you’d bought your property on the upside of. Graffiti and garbage were everywhere here. They were everywhere in the city, if it came to that, but elsewhere the garbage was better quality, and the graffiti was close to being correctly spelled. The whole area was waiting for something to happen, like a really bad fire Picture Quote #1

I think graffiti is part of Berlin culture. You think about what the Berlin wall meant and how visible that was in everyone’s life. How it was a part of their very identity Picture Quote #1

One piece of graffiti doesn’t mean much. Forty pieces of graffiti might mean something... It’s all about connecting the dots Picture Quote #1

This book blew me away. Kelly Parra writes with the keen eye of an artist. Graffiti Girl is warm, gutsy, and true-to-life - an unflinching, honest portrayal of young adults. A seamless and impressive debut Picture Quote #1
