When faced with graffiti, people in Reykjavik found that if they treated their blank walls as canvases and invited or commissioned art on them that there was less likelihood that they would be tagged. The result is a great array of art with many subjects and styles.
Many of the pieces I found were in downtown shopping areas.
It adorned parking structures.
I found it on courtyard walls, set back from streets.
And it certainly wasn’t boring. I’ll show you more tomorrow.
Wow! These murals are fantastic. Your trip to Iceland is well worth it.
Oh wow! Definitely not boring Kay, it’s fabulous. The Blank Walls project in many cities is such a good initiative. They do say that good street art has a positive effect on people’s mood 😉
Wow, great street art. That’s a wonderful way to discourage tagging.
The first two particularly catch my attention.
That seems to work here too to stop tagging. Plus it makes for interesting walks.
I like the last one.
