Hiphop Street Art: Graffiti

In the gloomy and chilly winter, it is pleased to see colourful paintings when wandering in the streets.
BBC News once reported graffiti art in Taiwan many times and Brighton city in the UK has many graffiti, which I would like to show you some.

Many interesting graffiti are painted in the outlook of houses, shops and on the walls in every possible corner.

Painting on public places are not always legal everywhere, while it is acceptable in Brighton, moreover, the official website introduces the top 10 graffiti Artwork.


Colourful, stunning or fantastic figure and animal icons dotted around the city. It seems to be one of the best ways to revive aged or ruinous buildings.


Graffiti creators deliver sub-cultural messages by painting specific symbolic words or images with their own styles.

Some people regard it as a street culture and it mixes with hip-hop music and other elements.

If we think about the ancient graffito such as the Egyptian draw on the surface of stones or the temples to record stories and to define the territory, graffiti is definitely not something new today.
