Vandalism | Banksy: a Prolific Graffiti Artist

In the past article, Jayce-o-Yesta Design Studio has been discussed about the graphic artists who transform their ideas in public places. These activities are often referred to as vandalism. Many forms of resistance are made to this activity,
especially by the government of course.



Examples forms of vandalism that is often done is to scribble existing public media, or replace a message of, etc. In the united states for example, most forms of vandalism is graffiti containing messages about the existence of a group, or a ban on litter, removing / replacing the traffic signs, images and messages that represent the social resistance, to the most severe is just doodles without meaning / message.

But there are also forms of vandalism that have become works of art that deserves thumbs up. One example is the underground projects undertaken by Banksy, the graffiti creations mostly contains an idea or message which is trying to convey to the public and government. Although this can not be said to be a form of legal (and even impressed against a general rule), but the messages are delivered quite inspiring and persuasive. And of course this is not a paid job.

Here are some of Banksy's work:

"It's not about money... it's about sending a message"

Maybe some of you also have some messages that can be visualized in the form of graphic art, such as posters, web pages, walls, blank canvas, even a love letter;). Vandalism is just one expression of the visual space of the many media that can be used. What matters to me is the message is appropriate and does not violate the rules. :D

In graphic art, each artist first create patterns, shapes, or painting in a medium which is then printed on paper medium. Like the offset machine, printer, or screen printing, graphic artwork can be printed in several times.

"But often people are only able to provide a high appreciation for the first mold. Though both the first printing and a tenth have the same quality," he explained.

Meanwhile, Sanjaya Tisna (a graphic artist as well as a lecturer) explained, the graphic arts have a lot of basic techniques. But the classic basic techniques of graphic arts is the most commonly used, namely: wood crafts and lithography.



Wood Craft, which is shaping techniques sketched above the medium of wood, while litography on a stone." he added.



Apart from these two techniques, several other techniques can be done by a graphic artist through another medium. One of them through the medium of aluminum or an artist's body.

"Currently, the graphic arts are being faced with the challenge (technology) of new media. So the graphic artist is currently expected to be able to combine classical technique with technology or new media," he said.
