Senseless Acts of Beauty – The World’s Graffiti Art

Some of my favorite street art is along, “The Great Wall of Los Angeles,” a mural (the longest mural in the world) of art depicting the history of ethnic peoples of California, civil rights and even some theories about people of the past. Conveniently in one place in the Tujunga Flood Control Channel, you can see the art project at once if you walk along the 2,754 feet (half a mile) wall.

Most of the world’s street art is, however, scattered all over, which is fun too because you’ll end up eventually being happily surprised by it as you come across it serendipitously. That takes some time, so for people who’d like to see a lot more art concentrated in one place, they can visit “Senseless Acts of Beauty”, a growing online gallery of the world’s graffiti (they call it “good” graffiti).

The site began a couple of years ago with photos originating from an exhibition of Urban Pictographs and Petroglyphs in Budapest. Choose from nearly 80 cities to view the photos of graffiti. The largest numbers from one city come from Paris, so it’s a fun way to see street art in Paris all without getting tired feet.

If you have photos of graffiti art, you can share them by easily uploading them directly on Senseless Acts of Beauty.
