HOW WE RESURRECT ART
Graffiti Is Art is a revolutionary project that uses street art to bring back lost cultural treasures. We transform community-submitted graffiti photographs into collaborative physical mosaics that recreate destroyed, stolen, or lost painted masterpieces.
Street art becomes the pixels that rebuild lost masterpieces
YOU UPLOAD GRAFFITI
Any graffiti photo from anywhere in the world. Tags, pieces, throwups, stickers - everything counts. Your phone camera becomes a tool for art history.
WE MATCH COLORS
Our AI analyzes your graffiti photo's colors and matches them to specific sections of lost masterpieces. Your red tag might become part of a Van Gogh sunset.
POLAROID PRINTING
Selected photos are printed as physical polaroid-sized tiles. Thousands of graffiti photos become the building blocks of lost art.
MASTERPIECE RESURRECTION
The polaroids are physically arranged into massive mosaics that recreate stolen, lost or destroyed masterpieces. Street art literally rebuilds art history.
THE IMPACT
"When a $100 million Caravaggio gets stolen, the world loses a piece of its soul. But when 10,000 graffiti writers contribute their photos to rebuild it, something even more powerful is born - art that represents every street corner, every city, every culture coming together to save history."
Share Your Graffiti Photography
All styles welcome: tags, pieces, throwups, wildstyles, stickers, paste-ups - everything counts!
