wants to turn the city grey,
as this bit of street art so graphically depicts,
far from wanting to brighten the city and let artists show their works,
under current law the artists are required
to apply for permits for each painting, these permitting fees are calculated by
square meter, and can cost thousands of euros,
even though the murals are created on private property and with
explicit permission from property owners!
it seems like the council are out for their pound of flesh at the expense of art,
it seems to be Philistine to paint over this stunning portrait, it makes me think if the council are that awash with money and people to paint over paintings, would the money not be better used to pick up the rubbish under the painting, so the public could enjoy the painting without seeing piles of rubbish on the street?
