Is this art?



It's a little (ok a lot) overexposed but hopefully you can still make it out. I've seen a few telephone poles on Bathurst Street with buckets of paint spilled around them. Nothing else nearby seems to be painted. The buckets are sometimes still there, and sometimes not. If you look closely, the paint is blue and purple swirled.

What do you all think? Is this art? Or is College Pro hiring just anyone these days?

My guess is art, considering you have seen it more than once and the paint is swirled rather than just a solid colour.

i think i agree with you, Laura

I also agree. This street art seems to combine the painterly work of the abstract impressionists with a guerilla art recapturing of urban space. I hope to see more of this around the city.
