Reverse Graffiti
By Avishay Artsy on Sunday, June 15, 2008.
On April 15 in San Francisco, an English reverse graffiti artist created an environmentally-friendly work of art about a philosophy of clean. The work was produced in San Francisco’s Broadway tunnel, where over 20,000 vehicles pass through per day. Its walls are caked with dirt and soot, and lined with patches of paint-covered graffiti.
Reverse graffiti artist Paul Curtis, aka “Moose,” made a beautiful work of "green art" by wiping away dirt into large type and shapes. He got his start ten years ago while working as a dishwasher in Leeds, England, when he saw marks on a filthy tunnel wall exposing the shiny white tile. And with only a pair of socks as his tool, reverse graffiti was born, drawing attention to the overlooked effects of air pollution.
Critically acclaimed documentary filmmaker Doug Pray directed this short film about the making of the Broadway tunnel artwork:
