2020年9月四级涂鸦真题
When is cleaning walls a crime? When you're doing it to create art, obviously. A number of street
artists around the world have started expressing themselves through a practice known as reverse
graffiti(A4). They find dirty surfaces and paint them with images or messages using cleaning
brushes or pressure hoses (RE **). Either way, it's the same principle: the image is made by
cleaning away the dirt. Each artist has their own individual style but all artists share a common
aim: to draw attention to the pollution in our cities. The UK's Paul Curtis, better known as Moose,
operates around Leeds and London and has been commissioned by a number of companies to
make reverse graffiti advertisements.
Brazilian artist, Alexandre Orion, turned one of Sao Paulo's transport tunnels into an amazing wall
painting in 2006 by getting rid of the dirt. Made up of a series of white skulls (#7), the painting
reminds drivers of the effect their pollution is having on the planet."Every motorist sits in the
comfort of their car, but they don't give any consideration to the price their comfort has for the
environment and consequently for themselves," says Orion.
The anti-pollution message of the reverse graffiti artists confuses city authorities since the main
argument against graffiti is that it spoils the appearance of both types of property; public and
private. This was what Leeds City Council said about Moose's work; "Leeds residents want to live
in clean and attractive neighbourhoods. We view this kind of advertising as environmental
damage and will take strong action against it." Moose was ordered to "clean up his act." How was
he supposed to do this: by making all property he had cleaned dirty again?
As for the Brazilian artist's work, the authorities were annoyed but could find nothing to charge
him
with. They had no other option but to clean the tunnel- but only the parts Alexandre had already
artist merely continued his campaign on the other side. The city officials then
decided to take drastic action. They not only cleaned the whole tunnel but every tunnel in Sao
Paulo.
