aerosol art

Pressurized paint art

Aerosol art is artwork created with spray paint, particularly graffiti and murals on walls, trains, and other urban surfaces.

The term emphasizes the artistic dimension of what might otherwise be dismissed as vandalism: The city commissioned aerosol art for the underpass.

Aerosol artists develop distinctive styles in lettering, characters, and color techniques.
