Reverse Graffiti Video Clip

We’ve posted about reverse graffiti before, where street art is created by cleaning the dirt and grime from walls.

Here’s another excellent example, this time by Brazilian artist Alexandre Orion made a wall of skulls using only cleaning towels. The cops even came and couldn’t do anything about it! All is well until The Man came and hosed everything down.

    man.

    great art. great idea.

    "all is well until the man cam and hosed everything down"

    it still is well, look at what was done, all that filthy grime was finally cleaned up. its a terrible shame that his art work was not appreciated longer, but at the same time, good still came of his work.

    Kind of sick that they probably would have left the wall dirty except for the impulse to destroy an illicit, original work of art.

    I second jack ruttan's comment. Hosing the wall down is such an infantile, destructive, boorish response.
    So sad when authority and shortsightedness go hand in hand.

    At least it was documented.

    That is hilarious, they had to clean every tunnel in the city to keep him from making his art !
