Graffiti

By Emily Patterson

A friend of mine just got back from a long trip in Brazil and told me how beautiful

the graffiti is this is one of my favorites….Alexandre Orion

• From a project called “Art Less Pollution” in an underpass in Sao Paolo

• A close-up from the same installation

The message that pollution kills seems to be the main focus

• This is what happened when it was discovered by the authorities

• The next three are by the same artist from a series called “Metabiotica”

• I love that the people who live here are an active part of this work it gives a sense of belonging to a neighborhood that is more positive than the American “tagging”

• I wanted to upload graffiti art that I found in Chicago but most of the images were just initials or tags

• The most beautiful images that I have been have been overseas

• Here is one example that I photographed in a mountain town in the island of Grenada
