Grafitti ..... or perhaps art? ....

[Derrel]

But here, the grafitti is not the subject. In this image, it's all about color, texture, shape, pattern and line. It's about how patches of color can help lead your eye around the composition. The window hole is another compositional tool called a pattern break. The curve of the wall is interesting because it fools you. You have to think and decide if it is distortion from a wide angle lens or a curved building. To me it's just another little thing about the image that keeps me looking at it. Of all the grafitti shots I have seen posted on this forum, this is by far my favorite. Almost all others have merely been documentation of someone elses work, and here, it is a work all by itself.

This image teeters on the border of abstraction, and representation. It's a decent example that shows you don't have to zoom in close to something to have an abstract image.

This is the kind of dangerous knowledge that comes from studying art and design!!! I used my first ever "Like" on your post Bitter...but please, don't go around telling people that it was you that popped my like cherry...
