How To Convert Political Statements Into PURE Street Art

________________________________________________________________________________________________


is a profound
political statement
but it is not
PURE Street Art


Because all the wall is doing
is serving as a canvas,
impervious to anything
from that street scene
in lower Manhattan


An identical portrait
of a pregnant President
and his humping lover
seen in a gallery
or museum would have
the exact same effect 
despite NOT  being
viewed by pedestrians
outside the gallery 
or museum  

It is Street Art
because it is visible
from the street
by anyone with working eyes...
without having to rub
against the soft shoulders
and snooty attitudes
of museum patrons
 
But to qualify artwork
as PURE Street Art, it is necessary
to incorporate something—anything
from the immediate environment
of the image


This could be done
to the humping lovers
by simply adding
a  street sign
in the squared red area
to complement
the red street sign
in lower right hand corner

That add-on would have
a directional arrow,
pointing to 
President Trump's anus,
with these words:



  








 The most elegant example
 of PURE Street Art is
 Banksy's "reproduction" of
Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring



but the pearl earring
is replaced by
the alarm box mounted
on the wall

In other words,
Banksy's "reproduction"
used a wall ornament as
the Starting point
of his art
