Milan based artist Mr Blob has created a dystopic image on the side of a gable end. It’s a piece full of symbolism and references to street art and graffiti culture. The main character chewing on a record called ‘The Real Hip Hop – This is for Culture not for Trend’. A reference perhaps to the underground nature of Hip Hop certainly at its roots at the beginning of the graffiti scene. Other images show one of Banksy’s rat stencils being burnt and an article about ‘fake self-proclaimed street artists’ which has been censored. Elsewhere a phone is being held with likes and emoji’s. This is a piece which seems to be railing against the mainstreaming and perhaps commercialisation of what has become street art culture.
