The graffiti styles part 4 : The Wild Style

Here’s a definition of this marvelous and famous graffiti style named Wild Style.

The wild style graffiti is a form of graffiti involving, interlocking letters, arrows, and connecting points. These pieces are often harder to read by non-graffiti artists as the letters merge into one another in an often undecipherable manner. In Wildstyle letters are illegible, abstract, muddled and ornamental, legible only by initiated. It may include arrows, spikes, and other decorative elements depending on the technique used. The numerous layers and shapes make this style extremely difficult to produce homogeneously, which is why developing an original style in this field is seen as one of the greatest artistic challenges to a graffiti writer. The letters have been so transformed as to be rendered arcane to the eyes of non-graffiti artists. Wild Style is, according to many, the Queen discipline of the New York graffiti, the purest graffiti letters style that deserve most consideration.

Artists : Zephyr, Netaze, Ras, Say &Zen (Naz), Turi.
