Urban punk- Circa 20167/14/2018 Graffiti is a cacophony of the mind's perception enclosed in a creative space and the noise of reverberations resonating in art, beauty and character. The appreciation of what street art embodies lies with the story behind the mural. The artist with mask and can reflecting his desires, wishes, dreams and anguish. URBAN punk is a collection of Vienna's story of creativity and openness. The expression along the Danube riverside takes in the changing tides of authority, society and culture and crams them into a walk way of colour... I found this to be the most hidden and yet one of the most open gallery along the Danube River. The colours all meshed in what seemed to be expressions of emotion captured for many years. Canvassed over walls, posts and pillars are stories of people from various cultures, some of struggle, pain and hurt, others are a rebellion to the powers that be.
Yet in all this mesh of colour, emotion and messages it provided a solace for everyone. Some came to see the graffiti, others came to run in the spacious pathways of the gallery. My take from the banks of the Danube River was that the stiff-upper-lip of a cultural Vienna, full of cultural museums, classical music and opera halls, embraced cuddled and the showed off murals of a searching generation for miles and miles without fear of losing its identity.
