Train 

Dondi sprayed this train with colorful aerosol paint, a medium associated with immediacy and accessibility. The train becomes a canvas, its industrial surface transformed by the vibrant artistry. Dondi's work here is not merely decorative; it's a statement. The spray can, an everyday object turned artistic tool, allows for bold lines, and intricate layering of color. The fluidity of the medium allows for movement, mirroring the motion of the train. The process of graffiti involves not just skill, but also risk, and speaks to issues of labor and class. The sheer scale of the work and the amount of effort it must have taken is not to be understated. By understanding the materials, making, and context of graffiti, we can begin to appreciate its significance.
