Dear Readers,
I walk through cities looking for stories. Not in museums, but in the back alleys, the forgotten corners. Recently, I noticed some faded graffiti on a towering concrete wall, part of some huge structure that the architects back in the 1970s would have called Brutalist. Someone had scrawled lines of poetry in a simple almost child like hand, the words fighting to emerge from the textured facade.
It hit me. The rawness of concrete. The quiet vulnerability of handwritten words. The collision creates beauty, not perfection.
That's the idea behind 'Concrete Poetry'. It is about noticing and recording snippets of our society in the form of graffiti or just some sort of text and then recording in image the context where the message exist as a sort of art 'ready-made'.
I see this design working beautifully as wall art, particularly a large format print that allows the details of the concrete to really stand out. It could work really great on a coffee mug so as your guests enjoy drinking some hot coffee they can ponder at the words embedded in a Brutalist structure.
Ultimately, 'Concrete Poetry' invites you to see beauty in the unexpected, poetry in the places we often overlook. Find your own urban canvas. What will you find?
