“ Real Graffiti is Illegal”

 Graffiti is the art of drawing or writing over a wall or public space, the original idea of graffiti is to bomb the system, artist do graffiti in a form of protest against what is going on in society. However, I think that even though it becomes illegal or showcased on an art gallery, does not mean it will not be graffiti anymore. In my opinion graffiti refers more to the style of painting, than to the fact that its objective is to question the system. People draw graffiti everywhere, in walls, subways, buildings, etc. so why it would not be graffiti painting over a canvas, if the idea of graffiti is painting everywhere possible, and besides if the graffiti is being shown on a gallery is because it is consider art, and art gives people the possibility to express all sorts of ideas even if they are against the system.

Graffiti, which is drawn in authorized zones, is not illegal; this does not mean it is not graffiti anymore. Society has misjudged graffiti, this is a form of art, but it may bother some people because it uses public spaces, maybe if it was drawn in special places, destined only for this, people would admire this kind of art and would stop judging it.
