Graffiti Art

Some people find great interest in debating (or quarrelling) about whether Graffiti counts as art or not. Apart from conflicts between graffiti writers and property owners, as I see it, graffiti is (among other tings) mostly a technique, and as oil painting on canvas or other materials, may or may not be art. Oslo has its share of uninspired and bad/clumsy/banal graffiti, but also some more enjoyable pieces. These photos are from Brenneriveien on Oslo’s East End and the area around, where some, but not all, walls are considered (by most) to be 'legal graffiti walls'.
