GRAFFITI
Graffiti ranges from simple words to extravagant wall paintings. Spray paint and marker materials are the most widely used, some artists also use stencils for the design. Graffiti can also portray underlying social and political messages based on spray paint graffiti styles and expression. From the 90's hip hop culture has developed alongside graffiti. Often, gangs use graffiti to mark their territory or to indicate a message to a particular area.
Banksy is one of England's best graffiti artists, he has made himself famous worldwide for his stenciled designs popping up all over the UK. He also uses political events to influence his artwork, his most recent mural is the EU flag being chiseled. This struck the thoughts of the UK and made people ask 'What message is this image trying to portray?'.
