Beyond the Streets

A friend recommended an exhibition, but I was hesitant due to my preconceived notions about graffiti art. I believed it was mainly a form of vandalism and did not understand its appeal. Nevertheless, I visited the Saatchi Gallery in Chelsea to see the exhibition.

Surprisingly, the exhibition challenged my preconceptions and introduced me to various graffiti art forms and styles. It started with writing one's name on a wall and progressed to subway trains in New York, where the artists gained more exposure and publicity. Alongside the Art, the exhibition also highlighted the cultural significance of hip-hop and how it influenced the art form.
