'The Artist's Thought'

This graffiti is on this wall of a neighbourhood busbar electric station for more than 25 years. I remember seeing it a long time ago. Interesting to notice that nobody destroyed it in such a long time. No young dumb came and spray painted a retarded signature over it for all those years. The wall already started falling apart, but the graffiti still stands. Kudos. Makes me happy.

Why is it interesting, otherwise? It depicts a self-portrait of the author and his future aspirations in a short writing saying: "Today. A transformer station in Gajnice. In 30 years, a badly bound monograph." Meaning that he is painting on the wall today but will have a "badly bounded" book of his works in 30 years. I cannot concur that the message is overall positive but it quite well describes a life of a struggling artist who believes in hard work. We also need to take into account that it was made during the socialist rule when one couldn't really do much.

I was waiting for the sun to create the play of light shadows for to take this one. They add much-needed atmosphere and bring the message a step further. Sombre look with a touch of happiness works with the man's thoughts. The same goes for my colour scheme. It works well, along with the rest.

I wonder what happened to that guy. No idea who he is or if he's still alive. I would like to see his "badly bounded monograph" today or anytime soon. Maybe he still has a few years to get that one done! Or not? In any case, we definitely wouldn't mind an update on the progress. The little busbar electric station has three more walls!
:D

Enjoy!
