1000 impressive graffiti art examples from all over the world

Graffiti

Graffiti is writing or drawings made on a wall or other surface, usually as a form of artistic expression, without permission and within public view. When in Barcelona Dalene mentioned that she heard about graffiti in Barcelona, and would like to see it. I took an interest in the topic, and actually got hold of some great artistic presentations. The majority of it however, remains crappy. I decided to record some of the best seen. They are repainted so often, that it might be the only recording of the art - who knows....

16. Pretoria

Travelling in Pretoria during Feb 2020, I came across this damaged painting against an outside wall opposite the South African Reserve Bank. I used to work in the early 1990's, but never noticed the painting then. It might have been an inside wall in a coffee shop......Searching the image on google, I got the following:

Site: Helen Joseph street, cnr. Sisulu, Pretoria CBD, Type: Urban Artwork, Medium: Porcelain and glass tile mosaic Size: 2m wide X 3 meter high. My paternal great aunt ‘Tant Koek’ as we knew her never married. She said she lost her love in the war. She came to visit at least once a year. Then this austere aunt would bring little gifts andn just love us. The highlight of the visit would be when she played the piano and transformed entirely into a jovial state. She was the aunt who showed me a different perspective to my conservative upbringing. In this artwork she gazes into the distance without judgment. (A City property Comission). The artist was Hannelie Coetzee.
