Can we stop referring to graffiti as art please? it's vandalism. If an artist has the permission of the building owner to paint a mural on a building wall, then this can be considered art. Otherwise it is vandalism and very costly to have removed. 2001:1970:4DDF:B000:B0E2:4A81:879F:32F6 (talk) 12:15, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
By this logic if a tag is placed on a wall with the permission of the owner then it magically transforms into art…? Anyway, I notice you use the example of a mural rather than a tag suggesting your problem is less with the legality of it, and more to do with your personal aesthetic judgements.
If I can turn the question back to you - everyday we experience the negative effects of advertising, pollution, badly designed streets and crap architecture in public space, for which people using that space haven’t given permission. Can we start calling these things vandalism? Wikociewie (talk) 09:44, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
