THIS IS MY WHITE PAPER. THE QUESTION I ASKED MYSELF BEFORE I BEGAN THIS PROJECT: IS IT POSSIBLE TO CAPTURE THE ENERGY OF VANDALISM ON CANVAS. THERE’S A REASON THIS IS IMPORTANT. WHILE GROWING UP, I WAS TAUGHT GRAFFITI BY TRAIN BOMBERS, AND I ADOPTED THEIR ATTITUDE TOWARDS GRAFFITI, ART, AND SOCIETY. TRAIN BOMBERS ARE OFTEN CONSIDERED TO BE THE MOST AUTHENTIC GRAFFITI WRITERS, AND THEIR ATTITUDE IS THAT ANYTHING LEGAL ISN’T GRAFFITI. THIS ATTITUDE KEPT ME FROM FINE ART. THAT’S WHY IT MAKES SENSE FOR ME TO ENTER THE WORLD OF FINE ART WITH THAT PROBLEM STATEMENT IN MIND. THIS PROJECT REPRESENTS A TRANSITION AND A TRANSFORMATION—A FUSION OF THE RAW, UNFILTERED ENERGY OF VANDALISM WITH THE STRUCTURED, REFINED WORLD OF FINE ART.
