Graffiti Eighties Conspiracy East London England Flickr In the 1980s, graffiti in london was less well organised and loved by all the right people. most of of it got washed off walls or knocked down as the buildings it decorated made way for flats. most of it wasn’t all that good. and because london graffiti was a copy of new york city street art, you won’t find it in museums or private collections. The 1980s london graffiti scene, not as organized or acclaimed as banksy’s work, was largely a transient art form. much of it, inspired by new york city street art, was erased or lost during urban development. photographer peter marshall captured this era, offering a rare glimpse into the graffiti culture of that time through his photos.

People used to express their emotions through graffiti art. back then some street artists used their artwork to turn a boring old brick wall into a masterpiece of art. some people who did graffiti are just normal people trying to make a statement. it was an endless war of vandalism between artists and police officers in london.
