Editorial note

  • The concept of "backgrounds (graffiti)" refers to the elements that are situated behind the primary subject of a graffiti work. These elements can include patterns, decorative elements, or motifs that serve to enhance or complement the main focus of the graffiti. Backgrounds in graffiti are not about the priming of the area that will be covered by the creation of a graffito but rather focus on the elements that are in the background of the graffito. They provide a context and aesthetic framework that can influence the overall perception and interpretation of the graffiti. It's important to note that these backgrounds are not merely passive or incidental; they are often carefully considered and executed to contribute to the overall impact of the graffiti.
