Why is Graffiti, good?
Graffiti / street art is an expressive, but often controversial part of mainstream culture. This form of artwork can have a bad reputation, but modern graffiti has become more accepted — even legalized by city districts.
Graffiti is good. Like all types of art, graffiti can be political, it is certainly subjective, but legal graffiti art is not vandalism. It's simply art. Graffiti artists use spraypaint skills; bringing art to the public as a form of self-expression and brightening up dull, faded, boring walls. If you have a wall that could use some colour - Liks can paint it. See below before and after paint session for Game Point in downtown Sechelt, BC (October 2022):
