Reverse Graffiti

FACTC ABOUT REVERSE GRAFFITI:

1. English artist Paul Curtis aka Moose is one of the first street artists to make an art piece using the reverse graffiti technique.
2. He discovered the technique at his dishwashing job, as he explains in his documentary
3. Because reverse graffiti is temporary, may be biodegradable, and generally uses no hard materials such as ink, paper, or harsh chemicals, and because it generally does not use electricity to back or front light, reverse graffiti can be an environmentally friendly way of advertising.
4. There have been several instances of authorities attempting to prosecute those performing this form of advertising, but prosecution has been difficult due to the temporary and non-destructive nature of the practice
5. In the Netherlands one needs to have a permit for commercial advertisements in a public space even though nothing is being destroyed by this kind of graffiti.
