At the Abbesses metro station in Paris, on the long journey up the spiral stairs to where a carousal awaits you, the walls have literally been covered completely with graffiti. I’ve always liked the art of graffiti, when it’s tasteful and not on an object or structure that is artistic in and of itself. The funny thing about this piece is that it almost entirely consists of words, not pictures as some graffiti art is. But combined they create a rainbow collage. No one name or word is really decipherable. Oddly, the hand rail has been spared.
