Street Art Exposition | Requiem for a Mural

Whenever street art or a mural is discovered it brings such curiosity and sometimes a bit of inspiration from most people who never have had any association with the world or art. Personally, not everyone can draw and create things out of random objects to produce a masterpiece for some would call it “junk” because not everyone has the same taste in art as to its views and opinion. Street art nowadays is acknowledged and respected for its creation. You can find one or randomly discover it unexpectedly. It depends on who’s looking and has an affinity or respect for what is “art” and what is not. For all things, everything is art it all depends on your taste or preference and never judge or discriminate as they are created equal.

A street art or a Mural that is painted in the confines of the public is purely underappreciated let alone in one of the major cities in the Philippines. There’s a story somewhere to share and in one of those tales is one particular scene in 2013 when six of the well-known visual artists were tapped to paint the Legazpi Underpass, it is one of the oldest passage ways in Makati City built in the mid-1990s. During its time media did coverage of the almost finished murals under it and had interviewed random people passing through this subterranean walkway and one of them was this elder lady saying that she appreciates the art, but would it be best it would be easily seen visibly like her. Understanding that she’s one of the local folks who just take the common route which is a bit shame not really getting the concept.
