In this day and age, nearly everyone is concerned with the environment. We are all doing our best to care for mother earth. Some people accomplish this by recycling more, driving less, adapting fluorescent light bulbs, turning off the air conditioning, etc.
For Brazilian street artist Alexandre Orion, the best way to highlight the ongoing environmental crisis is to utilize a technique known as ‘reverse graffiti.’ To put it bluntly, ‘reverse graffiti’ is a form of graffiti that’s created by drawing with a cloth (or other cleaning tool) on a very dirty surface, rather than with a spray-paint can. In doing this, the art ends up etched into the filth and calls attention to the pollution in the area.
