Padua, motorist insults and denounces street artist

A street artist was insulted and reported: it happened in Padua on the morning of December 8 near the Prandina around 6:30. Any, an acronym for About New York because of his love for the Big Apple, was working on his work titled Graceful, created on a wall in the Prandina and depicting a dancer, when a motorist began insulting him and called the police and reported him. The police intervened and seized about 15 spray cans and other materials from the street artist to complete his work.

The street artist, as reported by the newspaper Padovaoggi, commented, “It seems to tell a news story from thirty years ago, when street art in these latitudes was not yet what it is now. Those who colored the walls, with tags or actual drawings suffered like all those who are bearers of novelty attacks of all kinds. Only later was it realized that that kind of art was helping to make abandoned buildings and derelict walls more beautiful. And although street art is often the bearer of political instances, it has been tolerated because it is highly appreciated. To talk about something subversive, something illegal, today is objectively laughable. It is practically regularized, but more than that even no, because otherwise it loses its trait of spontaneity that made it what it is now. A universal language.”
