ADDICTED TO DETAILS
Those were the glory days of grafitti, when young people in the 80ies were going out at night to put their names on trains, walls and buildings. Graffiti grew as a part of the hip-hop culture and the breakdance movement to the most important youth culture of that decade. But later – when we reached the 90ies, it was only hip hop, that went major, graffiti and breakdance were going back to the underground. Nowadays when everybody screams for a piece of streetart we forget, that even graffiti culture had his evolution and built the base for todays streetarthype. And if u take a closer look you will see so many awsome talents – taking this underground art into the galleries and show it to a wider audience (f.e. OS GEMEOS).
