  • Okay, let's get this out of the way from the start - graffiti can be beautiful or it can be ugly but it is almost always a crime.  People create graffiti for any of a number of reasons.  My Urban Abstract series should not be considered as a support of property damage nor should it be considered my approval of any particular message.  I create these images because it provides a framework for me to appreciate color, form, and texture. If the graffiti did not exist, I might instead do my own painting on various surfaces but somehow photographing the existing graffiti seems more authentic to me.

  • The muted paint color here leads me to believe that this is an old painting (it is protected from the sun but would get reflected light).  I like that the design is sort of an abstract stick face design.

  • The colors here show multiple re-paintings of a fence to cover layers of graffiti.  When I saw the layers, I immediately thought of the work of Abstract Expressionist Mark Rothko.
