As I mentioned in another post, we saw graffiti all over Spain, Andorra and France. On our way down to La Rambla last night (a popular tourist area in Barcelona), I decided to get some pictures.
Some of the graffiti we saw was a collection of work from various “artists”
We noticed that a lot of the graffiti we were seeing was painted onto metal doors, not on the actual buildings.
Some of what we saw could very well have been commissioned by known Street artists, from the look of it.
Once I made a point of photographing the graffiti I saw, I took more notice of the different styles and locations of the graffiti and even started to appreciate it.
So, through all this, I started to actually appreciate and learn about grafitti. When we walked to the post office this morning, before leaving Barcelona, we saw some of the best work yet.
This piece is a point of interest in Pokemon Go. The grafitti looked newer in the game, so I’m guessing this piece is a few years old now
Still….I’m left conflicted when I see things like this:
We’re in Poland now, and I’m officially caught up with blogging! I wonder what day 17 will bring!!!
That last one is very sad. Appreciated the portraits, though!
Yeah…I wasn’t a fan either. I think some of the art is great, in the right setting. But that one doesn’t fit…
