10 Pieces of Amazing Graffiti Art
Here are ten amazing pieces of graffiti art – you’ve got to see them to believe it.
Graffiti isn’t all gang signs – many artists create amazing murals and portraits on the sides of buildings. Here are ten of the best examples of graffiti art out there:
A fantastically colorful background for a small outdoor garden.
A piece of art in the office hall that really has some impact.
That’s one way to make an old brick wall look awesome.
Who wants a regular paint job, when you can have graffiti covering your house?
These colors really do the job in brightening up this gray wall.
Here is one that you may recognize. You can try to sweep it out of sight, but it may not work.
This looks like some kind of convention for brightly colored creatures.
This is sure a colorful work of graffiti for the back yard.
Wouldn’t you like some fairytale graffiti decorating the side of your house?
This graffiti sure makes a nice colorful backdrop for this little bench.

Wow! Cool.
so glad stumbleupon brought me here. I’ve never seen such artistic graffiti. Thanks for posting!
the 4th one down is the side of mossi hats on euclid ave in little 5 points, atlanta.
there’s some other really awesome graffiti around there too.
Thanks for sharing these but, to be fair, they are certainly not the best. A stroll through San Francisco will provide a sample as good as these or better. But, again, thanks for passing this good stuff along! =)
I am amazed by this art work, looks so three dimensial that I can hardly believe it isn\\\’t. Wish I had this talent and that we could afford to do it to the garden shed in a fairy tale scene.
daretoeatapeach is right, not the best but still pretty sweet. I wouldn’t call all of them graffiti though (the fairytale one didn’t have any graff style to it) . But that office hall was worth the stumble alone.
The 7th one is from Oslo, Norway. By Mr. Mucho, btw.
Artist credits?
Office hall FTW.
These pieces of art are to wonderful to be called “graffiti”.
I would classify them as “fresco”, which is simply painting on a wall (or other public surface).
These are brilliant, beautifully executed works of art.
Graffiti is scribbling gang names and threats with a pressurized paint can.
@ Segue,
Fresco paintings use pigment paint, and they’re done on commissioned walls. Graffiti art doesn’t just mean “scribbling gang names” thats tagging or bombing, and it doesn’t just have to be spray paint.
Either way these are pretty good,
Number 9. looks a bit like Os Gemeos to me.
You got the credits for these?
4th one down is a dang hat store, not a house!
The second and third ones are by Daim (daimgallery.com), the fourth is by Totem (mr-totem.com) and the sixth is by Banksy (banksy.co.uk)
wow… very cool
Oh man, I love that Banksy one. Good collection of pictures. Also wrote this a couple weeks ago. Check out the God bless America one.

Great article…these pictures are phenomenal.
Best wishes.

Cool art.
yay i like bagels! (and this its cool)
fresh
if u like this u shud check out work by a british artist called banksy, one of the pics above is actually his work (the woman cleaning ) if im correct
I think the one of the maid cleaning up is one of the most interesting ones I’ve seen. I could hardly stop looking at it.
thanks so much for the trite comments, they helped allot.
nice art……..havet really saw that style of that sweep out of site one…but its not bad..gud work
dame is the cold nuts. his carvings in wood are incredible
Im pretty sure i live near a peice by the same person who did the second one. (for any of you who live in portland, i think its on NE 28th and Davis. or somwhere really close to there.)
the pix captions are very boring and lifeless. and ive seen better graffiti in my grandmas house. sad…very sad!
Daim is in a gang and will murder your old, feeble, rich, wealthy, white suburban parents.
Banksy owns a gun and forces women to piss in front of him at gun-point while he masturbates.
Get a life you dummy-brainsssss!
very cool! I realy liked the maid hiding the dust. It’s so creative!
Wow, some of them look like something out of photoshop, especially the ones with such smooth gradients. I applaud the people who have done graffiti of that caliber, it’s mind blowing.
its a wow, in my country the Philippines, it is called Mural Painting..on the wall..i haven’t seen anything like those here though..hope to find one someday.
Incredible artistic… grafiti first class! Deserve attention.
I like it, looks very different from the usual boring grafiti signs.

I have always liked the raw look of Grafiti however, this is ‘Simply amazing’. Very nice. I’d love to have some of my own….. very artistic and surreal. (:

If anyone could contact me on who is the creator of “A piece of art in the office hall that really has some impact”, I would be happy to hire out his services to create a similar piece. Will be re-inbursed for time. write a response on this websites, if you know the person,so that I can contact them, thanks
James.
That artist is DAIM.
He is from Hamburg Germany.
He is one of THE biggest “graff” writers in the world known for his amazing shapes, gradations, wood sculptures and experimentalistic graffiti.
Good luck trying to hire him,

Some nice work, but not the best. Where’s os gemeos, and twist, mode 2, or crayone? While it is nice of you to appreciate this art, you would do more of a service to provide links and information about the artists. DO a little research. The fairy tale graffiti is aec, wa-one (ik crew) from the Ukraine, and it is in fact graffiti. For the poster who said these murals are fresco, fresco is a specific type of mural painted with dry pigment mixed into plaster as the medium, none of these are frescoes. Thank you for you interest in the art form, please do your best to at least provide links to where you got the photos from.
thanks
Yes but Graffiti art isn’t about galleries or profit. That doesn’t mean there is a problem with it, just that it’s different. There have been many great artists that have done murals and frescoes and it’s really the same principle. Just because a work of art can’t be transported doesn’t mean it’s not as important and is a wasted effort. If Graffiti artists want to sell their work all they have to do is get commissions from building owners.
Love the Banksy–one of my favorites. And the office hall was really intense. Thanks
I want to add that I should have said it’s not necessarily about profit. If the art is for profit, that’s great, and you don’t need galleries for that, just commissions.
I know of no grafitti artist that is also doing fine art Murals like the creator of this site is suggesting with the links found up above.
I agree with the statements that only some of these images are actually “graffiti”. In fact, the term means unwanted and alludes to vandalism. While many street artists get their start doing unwanted artwork, I have known several artists such as the “barnstormers” and other groups who love to make artwork. They will paint wherever the landlord/owner allows them to, and usually do it for gas and food money. The lines are blurring these days between graffiti and murals, but if the artist gets paid to do the work by the owner, then it’s a mural.
Just buy a couple of cans of spray paint it ain’t that incredible!
@slapshot
Please grow up.
Your facile worldview concerning art demeans us all. Profit is for stockbrokers. Communication is for artists. That public brick wall communicates to unspeakably more people than your private canvas ever will.
Also if you want to see real outdoor Murals go to PA. and look at some of the work that Inner City people have done on commission. These are young kids that really had talent and because they wanted to do more then defile property the City commissioned them to do the out door art and also gave them art grants and many of them are successful artists. They are really communicating their message to many people now on all levels of life not just people driving by in cars looking at a wall.
These Are Really Awesome It Gives A Whole New Meaning Of Graffiti Usually I Thought It Was All Just Gang Related But Now I See That There Is More To It Than That… Do You Have Any More?
slapshot has a point. Sure, Graffiti looks nice on a wall, but some day that wall will be knocked down, or painted over, or the paint will fade, and the art will be gone forever. You can take pictures, but as slapshot said, that takes away from the magic.
one thing people got to understand is that graffity is not gang related.People write graffity in walls so there names could be known.Me my self am a graffity writer started 3 month ago,and i think if someone was to come to me before when i didnt new how to write this amazing drawings in walls i would pay someone lots of money for them to write it in my backyard wall.I think graffiti is a very well piece of art that people create and i hope people take graffity like these above seriously.
i hope people take graffity seriously.AMAZED!!!!!!!
What is all this banter about payment and commissions and art schools and color theory? Gang relation and vandalism?
Why do you all think the art was created?
To prove a point? To make a statement?
Notoriety? Self expression?
It doesn’t matter what surface it’s on, where it’s located, who sees it or how long they see it for..
It’s simply communication, take it or leave it.
If you don’t like it or can’t appreciate it for what it is, jog off.
That’s some serious artistic talent.
Ok DI5COV3RY Next time I wan’t to express myself I will come to your house and paint a mural on the side of your house even if you don’t want it there. And if you don’t like it you will have to just JOG OFF. Grow up.
is the 5th 1 in straid by any chance
