British Graffiti
Graffiti Comes to England
Just like one could imagine, the scene in the making within the cultural space of UK was greatly influenced by the New York scene. Subway art was perceived to be a “bible of street art”, according to London based artist Remi. In those days, at the beginning of the 1980s, car paint was practically the only tool for writers. The late 1980s in England was the time when hip-hop and electro music cultures started emerging on the radio scene. What is interesting, this was the period when the first graffiti was used for advertising. Soon enough, street art advertising was on the way to become a “common” phenomenon within the culture… But, let us return to graffiti art. Just like in New York city, London wanted to transform its trains. When Martha Cooper's work came out, writers knew that they were now a part of a bigger phenomenon. Their drive to create, the urge to brake the law by bombing train carts, appeared to be a global one. The beginning of the last decade of the 20th century brought a collaboration between writers and painters of Europe. It could be said that the interaction between London and Paris, the numerous visits of the artists back and forth, influenced the explosion of various innovative approaches to painting and writing. The rest is history in the making
