| An example of one of the artist's walls |
Here is an amazing video of a mixture of public art and graffiti. The artist uses graffiti, which can be seen as public art to some and not to others, to create images on walls that were put together to make this video. I personally agree that this is public art because he has made this available to everyone and the space used to create the art was public. This person's ability is extraordinary. How they can paint one picture then paint another and make them all cohesively flow together into a movie is beyond anything I could ever imagine doing. I hope this person continues to make public art so that onlookers can enjoy there work (or not enjoy it...everyone has their own opinions.) You can go to this person's
website to view more of their work. It tends to be a bit more morbid, but they paint murals on publics walls and more videos can be found on their site as well.
I watched the video and was completely blown away by the artist's ability to make his stationary art into an animated product. But no doubt it is art because it is aesthetically pleasing but it is public art as well because it is open for everyone to see not just people who go to museums. The painting fits how Miles define public art, "located outside the spaces and conventions of galleries and museums."
