What is your favorite piece of art? Why?
I'm not knowledgeable in the classical pieces of artwork, however for fanart I do have some favorites.
( Just to name a few.... )
For general non-fandom related art, I do have an interest and admiration for street art. Whether legal or illegal, underground pieces or paid murals on the sides of buildings, the graffiti culture is something I'm fascinated by since it has its own rules and its own kind of beauty to it. And while there are some negative associations attached, there is quite more to the culture than just that. I've been reading up on and watching some documentaries on the subject, and while I'm hardly an expert it's really quite intriguing to me, especially when it comes from speaking out against what is happening in the world, socioeconomically and politically, and about personal expression on certain issues that otherwise would be silenced. It has its own language and history that is fascinating to me.
