Do graffiti writers and mural artists work together or<br />
cross over in China?<br />
SATR<br />
They do hang out together. As far as my friends are<br />
concerned, we don’t have any barriers. I also have many<br />
friends who do illegal graffiti. Whether we can get along<br />
or not, I think the first thing is to see what your purpose<br />
of doing graffiti is. If you are doing it for money and<br />
betraying your artistic beliefs and soul, then I’m sorry,<br />
neither graffiti writers nor mural artists will welcome<br />
you. We respect each other’s choices and expressions,<br />
as long as they are sincere and original.<br />
MC<br />
Did graffiti start during a particular time in China?<br />
Looking up, the view<br />
from below as SATR<br />
breathes some life<br />
into her artwork with<br />
<strong>Montana</strong> GOLD.<br />
When I first started playing in 2013,<br />
the atmosphere was already very<br />
good. In 2016, the graffiti scene<br />
reached a peak. There were all kinds<br />
of graffiti events and parties.<br />
SATR<br />
I can only speak from my own experience. I think I<br />
started graffiti in the middle stage of its development in<br />
China. When I first started playing in 2013, the atmosphere<br />
was already very good. In 2016, the graffiti<br />
scene reached a peak. There were all kinds of graffiti<br />
events and parties. There were also foreign graffiti<br />
artists who came to China to participate in international<br />
graffiti exchange activities.<br />
MC<br />
Do up-and-coming graffiti writers and mural artists get<br />
inspired by other Chinese artists, or is there a big<br />
influence from outside?<br />
SATR<br />
I think both. If we only absorb our own internal culture, I<br />
think it is disconnected from the essence of graffiti,<br />
because graffiti did not originate in China. But graffiti<br />
has good mobility and strong communication. These<br />
days we can easily see a lot of great works on our<br />
phones. So we are more or less influenced by the<br />
outside world, although this influence is subtle and<br />
gradual. Of course, we also get inspired by other<br />
Chinese artists, especially those who have their own<br />
unique style and expression. We learn from each other<br />
and try to create something new and original.<br />
