The effect of the overhead light and the framing of this picture suggests a picture you might make of a particularly good painting you saw at a museum. By re-presenting this marvelously vibrant work in this way, I’m arguing visually that this sort of artistic work is just as worthy of consideration. Part of the way graffiti transforms a space is to literally bring art into it, to make it a place where we can view art. This photograph suggests that, as viewers of art, we ought to take more seriously the art of the taggers when we are in a graphitized space.
