Tuesday, May 15, 2007 Is it Art or Legal Vandalism?
A family who own a castle in Ayrshire have invited some respected graffiti artists from Brazil to come and graffiti the outside of their castle. The works will stay there for 2 years and the owners are hoping that the castle will be seen as a work of art.
They've got the backing of the locals too. What a superb idea. Imagine having an entire castle as your canvas - time to order more paint! Meanwhile some grumpy naysayers are suggesting that this is just legal vandalism. I'd like to see them do better! Labels: art, ayrshire, castle, graffiti, scotland

Who am I? I'm Adam Christie. I love looking at art, all types of art. I comment on it in my own way. I despair at art snobbery. There is no need for it. Occasionally I even pick up a brush myself, despite not having an art degree! That's a hanging offence in some art circles.
This blog is just a bit about the art I come across on my travels and maybe some stuff about my own painting experiences. Hope you find it useful. Contact me! Text Link Ads script error: local_90713.xml does not exist. Please create a blank file named local_90713.xml. |
