Graffiti art is an art form. The reasons, including aesthetic criteria, as to
why it is an art form outweigh the criticism of illegality, incoherence,
and nonstandard presentation.
Consider this as an explanation as to how graffiti art overcomes these concerns,
and thereby can be considered as an art form.
Suppose that Leonardo, Monet, Picasso, or any of the recognised artisans of
Western European culture were alive in the present day. Then, suppose that
one of these famous artists decided to paint a masterpiece on the side of
your house or on your front door or on a wall in your neighbourhood.
Would Picasso or Monet’s markings be graffiti or art or vandalism?
The answer may vary across people, but you could say that those markings are
art in the form of graffiti. Their markings would qualify as vandalism only if they
appeared on private or public property without permission. The same answer
holds for the present day, genre of graffiti known as graffiti art.
Mist, Tilt, Kongo, and Ceet are among the originators of the French graffiti
movement. Their worldwide artistic journey stops right here in Hong Kong,
at The Space, on April 28, 2011.
On exhibit you will find sculptures, large format paintings, and projections
of the original works the artists have painted around the world.
塗鴉藝術是一種藝術形式。它之所以是一種藝術形式，
其理由及美學標準，遠比那些批評塗鴉是目無法紀違、
雜亂無章、不合藝術展品標準等論調，來得更為有力。
姑且在此解釋一下，塗鴉如何超越以上這些顧慮，
而被大家視為一種藝術形式。
假如達芬奇、莫奈、畢加索或西方其他著名藝術家
仍然在世，又假如他們其中一位在您家門前、牆上，
或鄰居牆壁上畫一幅傑作，他們留下的痕跡將會是
塗鴉、藝術，還是故意破壞公物的罪證呢？
不同的人會有不同答案，但我認為這些印記是以塗鴉
為形式的藝術，只有當這些藝術家擅自畫在私人或
公共地方，才算是惡意破壞。同樣的答案也適用於
當今裝飾畫之其中一種，即塗鴉藝術。
Mist, Tilt, Kongo 和 Ceet，都是法國塗鴉運動發起人
之一。香港是他們世界巡迴活動的其中一站，作品將
於2011年4月28日在 The Space 展出。
多種不同的藝術創作會呈現在展覽上，當中包括雕
塑，大型繪畫，還會有投影展示藝術家塗在世界各地的
畫作。
