I searched for Shir O Khorshid graffiti. Photos would prove or disprove claims that the symbol is meaningful to the uprising in Iran. Surfs, emails and phone calls later, no one in Iran had seen Shir O Khorshid on any walls. This beautiful painting is an artist’s conception of an alternate reality.
Finally, zendeh baad something. This is respectable graffiti because it is in a very public place—a sidewalk. The more public the defaced surface, the more guts the artist has shown. Courage is one of the criteria for judging the graffiti art form. Authorized graffiti ranks lower on the sissy scale than paintball.
Premium graffiti is selective in it choice of surfaces to deface. At first glance this work looks like uncontrolled venting. But note the origin and destination of the bus.
With a professional style, Tehran graffiti artist “A1one” (Tanha) dominates Tehran’s vertical dimension with his instant graffiti stickers.
