Whereas street art and graffiti was once only associated with vandalism, it has since risen in prominence and is now regarded in the highest artistic circles. Personally I love the idea of mixing “high” and “low”. That is, juxtaposing high design, whether its sophisticated-minimalism or extravagant-elegance, against a raw, gritty, industrial aesthetic and doing it in a way where the end result is greater than the sum of its parts. Graffiti provides the perfect vehicle for delivering this very juxtaposition, and various elegant materials/objects/etc. have been used for the medium. The result has been exciting, provocative, and beautiful.
