…Graffiti removal can be art?

Graffiti Removal

Can graffiti removal be considered art?

Some people seem to think so, and have set out to show the world that these unknowing artists are creating works that should be appreciated independently of what they represent, along the same lines as abstract art.

It might take a stretch of the imagination, but there seems to be something to this theory.

With my paintings on canvas I use a lot of underpainting technique and scape the top layer off with either sandpaper or, when wet, with a scraper. It would be interesting to see this used with graffiti.
