Justice Minister McDowell: “It seems to be spreading everywhere”
*** Extensive Links Listing to Contemporary Irish Graffiti Culture *** http://www.indymedia.ie/article/76542
Lets face it friend ... there is no graffiti culture in galway! While there are a couple that relate to contemporary life, the majority are sad cheesy wall murals.... at best. At worst they are insulting cultural sterotyping. Best of luck
Who could help me locate murals in Belfast?
I am a french photographer, and made street art one of my main topics of interest with now over 17,000 photos of street art from over 22 countries.(see www.urbanhearts.com)
I have decided to come a few days to Belfast early July to take photos of the Belfast street paintings and graffitis.
Any help will be more than welcome.
Thank you
Eric
Why knock it? Wall-painting does exist in Galway but let's not elevate it into 'art' just yet! That word is too easily bandied about. You'll end up turning aerosol-adolescents into artists. Belfast is the place where much more mature work can be found.
Too many dark and hazy palates. Lighten up with more colours please. The Switch off TV week cartoon seems to be on the right tack and more attention to accurate draughtsman/womanship would improve eye-catching possibilities. Art has got to grab the eyes and help passersby ponder life's pleasures, subtleties and ironies.
