Piece 

This graffiti piece by Dondi explodes with the energy of 1980s New York, emblazoned on the side of a subway car. Dominant is the artist’s tag, rendered in wildstyle. This is an intricate and almost illegible form of graffiti where letters are interwoven and layered, resembling abstract forms. We can trace an almost instinctive human need to mark territory and proclaim identity across millennia, from ancient cave paintings to the heraldic symbols of medieval knights. Wildstyle, though, with its complex, coded forms, becomes a kind of visual language. It evolves into a challenge for both the artist and the viewer, a sort of game of decipherment and recognition. The radiant star shapes throughout are reminiscent of the divine or spiritual, conveying perhaps a yearning for recognition beyond the immediate, a trace of immortality amidst the grit of urban life. Consider how symbols in art never truly vanish. They resurface and evolve, mirroring our ever-changing world.
