Street "Art"? Part II

January 19, 2016  •  Leave a Comment

This is the second and last installment of the Street Art? posts of images from Rome.

One day I wondered around taking pictures of bars and coverings attached to windows and doors.  Forutnately, you won't get  to see those ... but I did photograph quite a few more graffiti/street art images.  The first is a black door with graffiti squeezed between the lines of the door, and around the  mailboxes attached to it.

More advertising posters pasted to a wall.  I love  "Da Real Thing" with the HI-POWA sound system ...  If you get my drift?

Here's another wall of posters.  It is curious that they are mostly written in English. What's up with that?

Real street art in the making:

Another from Florence.  The tower in the center is a caricature of one of the central structures in the city.  It looks like there are streets going in every direction and Tall buildings.  I have no idea what the two upside down keys mean. Any guesses? 

Here's an artist creating a painting with spray paint in the Piazza Novanna.  They are ethereal metallic looking paintings and I was impressed with the person's skill!  

More graffiti on a door but this time on the glass panes: 

Nope, this isn't art but I liked the the arrow sign hung atop the no-entry sign (a bit confusing to me); the great textured wall behind; the political poster; etc.  It's another one of those "I'm weird but I like it" shots ... maybe we should call them "IWBILI"  shots?  :)

It's clear that not everyone tolerates this form of self-expression.  One day while wondering around on my own, I found this team of volunteers attempting to eliminate the creators' tracks.

And supervisors acting as they do World-wide; standing around and watching?  :)

So that's it. Thanks for hanging in there and allowing me to show some of the good and the bad hanging on the walls of Rome.

Ciao,

 

Adam
