It was a gorgeous with bright oranges and yellows, filled with faces of people and hounds in a grotesque style. Whoever the vandal was took particular offence to the eyes and teeth, because that's what they covered in white roller. Unfortunately council has now painted the whole thing over with grey.
Here's a story on it
So, the artist 'mic' wanted someone to religiously challenge his work.
I don't mind that as art goes. Bit sensationalist. But i hope the artist didn't get paid a heap of money to beautify a grey cement wall only for the place to end up with a grey cement wall.
You hope the artist didn’t get paid because someone vandalised their work?
That is such a strange take.
From the article linked it seemed like he went looking for someone to vandalise his work
If thats the case, then the wants of artists clashes with the wants of the payers to beautify the wall
