You're uninformed about it all being the same. The graffiti in São Paulo has a vast range of styles. I have hundreds of photos I've taken myself. This fine art I can see outdoors is one of the most pleasurable things about living or visiting there.
I studied art in university, am an artist myself, and visit major exhibitions around the world on a regular basis. Much graffiti is indeed valid art.

- vjjsejj 3y agoTo be fair you definitely do sound like an “artist”
- oivey 3y agoI’d expect an artist to know that a mural is just art applied to a wall. That includes frescos like The Last Supper. Usually artists also don’t police and get so angry about other people’s self expression.
- lIl-IIIl 3y ago>"I studied art in university, am an artist myself" Garbage argument. Why? I would assume "what is art?" is a subject on which much time is spent in art school.
- lo_zamoyski 3y agoThat's not a question for artists, but philosophers of art, which, of course, artists can also do, but generally, most artists are really bad at philosophy.
- hypertele-Xii 3y agoUniversity begins with philosophy so the question would indeed have been asked.
- egypturnash 3y agoIf you might be an artist then where's your portfolio? There's no links in your profile, zero HN submissions. Put up or shut up. The NYC gallery scene started bestowing art-ness upon people who became known for the work they painted on the city's walls around... exactly forty years ago, I looked up Kieth Haring as a random example and galleries started showing his work in 1983.
