Do you see the cobbles on the streets? Everywhere you look, stone & rock. Can you imagine what it feels like to reach down with your bones & feel the living stones? The city is built on itself, all the cities that came before. Can you imagine how it feels to lie down on an ancient flagstone & feel the power of the rock buoying you up against the tug of the world? And that's where witchcraft begins. The stones have life, & I'm part of it. - adapted from Terry Pratchett

Digbeth Art Gallery
Another free art gallery today: this time a completely personal choice of graffiti art in Digbeth. Some of these certainly aren't there any more, and one of the things I like about graffiti is that it isn't fossilised into a canon and preserved in perpetuity.

What an amazing selection! My favourites are the "beautiful" cthulhu, the woman at no.21, the black & white owls, and the origami fox & hare. I can't decide if I like the creepy yet sad cat-tree monster thingy, though.
ReplyDeleteFunny, the one you're not sure about is a favourite of my best friend! Perhaps what graffiti you like is an indicator of variations of personality?
DeleteI love street art! A lot of work in some of these, especially the first one.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting, dinahmow. Yes, it's art for art's sake, isn't it, with no certainty about the fate of your work.
