Graffiti is a very broad type of artform. Some do it for a statement, while other's like Blek Le Rat, do it for a purpose. If you aren't familiar with his work, check out this website: http://creativity-online.com/work/view?seed=22f4c7ac here you'll be able to get a good idea of what he's all about. He's different because he stencils his artwork instead of making big block letters with loud colors. And theres a ton of it! The stuff is in nyc, italy, france and london. Most of the time, when we pass graffiti style work, we tend to look at is as a destructive form of rebellion. We fail to stop and think about the effort and theory behind it because most of the work frankly is not worth it. But having someone that puts meaning into graffiti is definitely worth taking a second look.
