Abstract

In Seville, Spain graffiti is so prevalent that it creates the background of the city. The artists are rarely seen due to the heavy fines imposed by local government. The illegality of graffiti leaves the artists to live within a deviant subculture of their own. This study analyzes graffiti found in Seville, as well as data from nine qualitative interviews with artists from Spain. Commonalties of this subculture as well as differences from American artists were found and discussed.
