Acoustic Graffiti: Oleg Lapidus

“Acoustic Graffiti performances and art works, created by Oleg Lapidus signify the spread of graffiti culture into music world. While classic graffiti usually stands for painting on a prohibited surface, «acoustic graffiti» is a music performance in a prohibited place at a prohibited time. The difference between the two would be that visual graffiti is a form of street art while “acoustic graffiti” can happen indoors, including the most high profile venues, where classic graffiti would equal vandalism. The moment of truth comes when security appear on the scene. It is the symbol of prohibition imposed on an individual by public order regulations.” – pianocrasher.com

Its been a long time since the days of “Wild Style,” but yet and still, graffiti art has become a huge asset in the transitions in pop culture. From THEN to KAWS, urban fashion to album covers- the element is everywhere! I found something interesting while browsing the net… its called: Acoustic Graffiti, a form of art created by a musician by the name of Oleg Lapidus. Watch the video and let us know what you think. Is this “art at its best” or an artist turned classic comedian? Ha. You decide. Paz!
