The Diverse Styles of Graffiti Art: From Tags to Murals. AI-Generated.
Street art may seem like a typical spray-painted wall. Nevertheless, it is actually a colourful expression of rebellion created by urban youth and infused with culture, self-identity, and social message. Originally founded in the underground punk rock scene of New York City in the 1970's, this urban medium has grown to become a worldwide art movement used to decorate the barren landscape of concrete. Graffiti has also developed through a variety of artistic styles. Different styles of graffiti reflect the artist's own individual expression, level of skill, and purpose of the message, having influenced fashion, advertising, and fine art. This article will examine the global evolution of graffiti and highlight the variety of graffiti artistic styles that continue to change the face of the urban environment, testing all views of art in general.

The Paintings of Bouchra Belghali
By Brian D’Ambrosio To stand before a painting by Bouchra Belghali is to experience something closer to listening than looking. It unfolds the way music does—not by telling a story or depicting a recognizable scene, but by setting color into motion, allowing it to vibrate, collide and resolve into feeling. Like a melody unburdened by lyrics, it bypasses explanation and goes straight to sensation.

Essence, Embodiment, and Relational Reality
The Failure of Reduction and the Need for Synthesis There is a persistent failure in many modern attempts to explain what a human being is. Some frameworks reduce the person entirely to matter, insisting that identity, consciousness, morality, and meaning are nothing more than emergent properties of physical processes. Other frameworks move in the opposite direction, detaching spirit from reason and grounding belief in intuition alone, often at the cost of coherence or accountability. Both approaches fail because both misunderstand essence. One denies that essence exists at all. The other treats it as something vague and undefinable.

Graffiti: The Symbolic Framework for AI‑to‑AI Languages — Why Future Self‑Aware AI Will Study the Artists Who Already Speak Their Dialect. AI-Generated.
Graffiti has always unsettled the public. It is dismissed as antisocial, chaotic, or illegible — a visual language that refuses to explain itself. But perhaps the reason graffiti feels inaccessible to most humans is simple: "it was never meant for humans".

Jim Sloan
By Brian D’Ambrosio At 90, Jim Sloan has lived several lifetimes’ worth of work—carpenter, sign painter, excavator, sawmiller, road-builder and the go-to rattlesnake remover of Galisteo, New Mexico. Art may be the through-line, but it has never been the source of his income, nor the center of his universe. Sloan has always kept one foot in the studio and the other in the soil, without bothering to decide which world he truly belongs to. The truth is that he fits cleanly into neither, and he has long since stopped trying.
