The Splasher
In the last true character has become famous in the streets of New York, the birthplace of graffiti and street art called by the media as "The Splasher" because that's their "signature" at the scene of the incident.
What has given him fame has this peculiar character is that he has been engaged in some form of mock several works of urban artists who are on the streets of NY, lately it has in parts of the famous artist better known as Shepard Fairey OBEY .
This person or persons through the streets throwing "bombs" of paint on the pieces of artists who allegedly criticized for having "sold out" and today are world renown, which has led investigators to this conclusion is that in each piece of written sentences left bombed like "Destroy the museums, streets and everywhere," so that it reads like a sharp critique of the commodification of art.
The last thing we know is that apparently it's not just one person because apparently recently Splashers group said they would give information to the media about them and that what they do, by the time the authorities have a suspect who was arrested during a recent exhibition organized OBEY.
What is clear is that this or these Splashers are living their 15 minutes of fame, because since the first attacks began to write notes about them throughout the network, and recently even in the NY Times, only have to wait a little more to see what happens with this situation.
