Editorial note

  • "Styles" in street art, particularly in relation to graffiti, refer to the distinct visual techniques and aesthetic approaches that differentiate one graffitis's work from another's. These styles can range from abstract, where graffitists use shapes, colours, and forms to create non-representational works, to photorealistic, where graffitists meticulously render their subjects to closely resemble real-life imagery. Importantly, these styles often focus on visual elements and do not necessarily include text or lettering. The choice of style is a reflection of a graffitist's personal expression, their commentary on societal issues, or their interaction with the urban environment, making each piece a unique contribution to the urban visual landscape.
