Origins and History
Graffiti is a legitimate form of art that has evolved over the years. The origins of Graffiti can be traced back to ancient civilizations, but the contemporary form began in New York City in the late 1960s. The evolution of Graffiti can be seen in the transition from simple tagging to more complex wildstyle Graffiti, which is now recognized as an important form of contemporary art.

Notable original contemporary Graffiti artworks
Without a doubt, graffiti has revolutionized the contemporary art world. Here are some of the most iconic graffiti artworks that have left a lasting impression.
First off, we have "Balloon Girl" by Banksy, created in 2002. This stencil artwork depicts a young girl reaching for a heart-shaped balloon, symbolizing the fleeting nature of love and innocence. Banksy’s witty and thought-provoking message has made this piece a global phenomenon.
Next, we have "The Wall" by Blu, created in 2007. This massive mural spans over 300 meters and features a series of animated characters interacting with the wall. The piece comments on the human relationship with our urban environment, and the ways in which we shape and are shaped by our surroundings.
Another iconic piece is "Mona Lisa with Bazooka" by Banksy, created in 2007. This subversive take on Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece features the Mona Lisa holding a rocket launcher, suggesting a violent and anarchic overthrow of traditional art and societal norms.
Finally, we have "Futura 2000" by Futura 2000, created in 1982. This abstract piece features bold, sweeping lines and vibrant colors, showcasing the artist’s innovative approach to graffiti. Futura 2000’s pioneering style helped to lay the foundation for modern street art as we know it today.
These artworks are just a few examples of the profound impact that graffiti has had on the contemporary art world. Through their bold messages and innovative techniques, graffiti artists continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in the realm of public art.
