Social And Social Issues In Graffiti Art

Graffiti artists often produce artworks which deliver social, political or religious issues in the urban space within a society. Graffiti artists are built to embody cultural groups and within their graffiti works reflect on a range of issues, in order to cause an impression on the audience who pass by (Young 2012, 297).
