Today marks the second (in a series of 2...so far) of my posts about Xi'an's outdoor art. Yesterday's post was about a number of officially sanctioned art pieces along the street. Today, I have some photographs from a nearby alleyway of graffiti. Yesterday, legal outdoor art, today, (theoretically) illegal outdoor art.
Enjoy:
Now, I said "theoretically" illegal because I don't know for sure. Is this sort of thing illegal in America? Yeah, but maybe it isn't here. I don't know, for sure. Still, I think this work is brilliant. Would it be so awful to give kids a place to do this sort of thing? Somewhere they could express themselves. Throwing people in jail for painting just seems so...backwards.

Lovely! And some bonus hip Chinese teens!
ReplyDeleteWhen I build the perfect society, I'll give kids the chance to do stuff like this-- and to paint over kids who abuse the priviledge.
