Graffiti Artists Paint Los Angeles’ Skyscraper in Vibrant Colors—From Street Walls to the Skyline

Graffiti art has unquestionably gained more notoriety and appeal in recent years, coming into more prominence than it has in the past. These days, communities employ this art to beautify neighborhoods and give citizens a sense of empowerment via creative expression; it is no longer just connected to vandalized buildings and passageways. A group of twelve graffiti artists painted the dull walls of the Skyscraper, the tallest skyscraper in Los Angeles, with vivid colors and striking graffiti art in an attempt to revitalize the abandoned downtown.

The structure is covered with multi-story abstract patterns, each of which is crafted to convey a distinct narrative. Social media fans are amazed by the captivating graffiti art when Julian Soley posted a video of it online on the photo-sharing platform Instagram.

It goes without saying that the post resonated well with internet users. It has had almost 7,64,000 views in only three days, and the count is still rising. In addition, the online community was unable to contain their gratitude for the graffiti artists that created the amazing artwork on Skyscraper, and they poured their hearts out in the comments area. Many praised the structure as magnificent and said that the persons responsible should get a graffiti prize.

A comment on Instagram said, “This is really beautiful.” Better than drab, gray walls.

“Nope! For this, they should get a graffiti prize, another person said.

“Excellent work with the drone shots,” a user said. It looks amazing!

An account commented, “This mural is worth millions, honestly—the time, planning, logistics, supplies, and talent.”

A person who was in awe of the graffiti painting went on, “That’s the most beautiful building I’ve ever seen.”

Someone another said, “The building owner would keep it if they were smart.” It is now a historical marker.

In the meanwhile, two persons were detained by Los Angeles police this week in relation to the graffiti that covered about thirty stories of an empty, unfurnished building in the downtown area. The Los Angeles police department said in a statement that its air support division saw over a dozen individuals trespassing in the building around midnight on January 30 and “possibly spray-painting,” as reported by The Guardian. When the police came, the gang had left, with the exception of two individuals who they had detained on suspicion of trespassing.
