Freight Train Graffiti – A Vibrant Art

I’ve seen marble Roman statues on tour by the Louvre Museum. And visited many art museums and stood before countless masterpiece canvases. Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Franz Kline to name a few. But – I really like train graffiti. As art, it speaks to me.

“From first tags in the subway to freight trains, train graffiti mark a turning point in the development of urban art that would grow to dominate in the numbers of practitioners around the world. From underground to gallery spaces, graffiti grow into respectable practice, while train graffiti – still impossible to capture, preserve, or sell – remain the unique expression of this art form born out of rebellion and discontent.”
