Topics: Introduction * Existing locations in 2012 * Disappeared locations 2010 - 2012

Introduction

This part of the website Budapestgraffiti is a follow up of the old version which till August 2011 was a part of the Szia and Sziabudapest websites. These galleries will be integrated into this page in the first half of Februari 2012.

It shows till know 30 existing locations in Budapest with Graffiti Art. Each location will be visit frequently, depending on the importance of the location. New locations will be added too. In the period 2010-2012 Julius has made photographs on almost 70! locations.

In stead of the former pages on Szia and Sziabudapest, addresses of the locations will not be given. The work done by Julius discovering these locations, taking pictures and to keep the information up-to-date, is that big that Julius decided to keep this information secret to avoid that others make too much profit of his work. Beside of it several locations are officially forbidden for visitors and the visiting of the dilapidated buildings is not without risk, in fact can be (very) dangereous.

On request Julius is able to give a private tour along several locations with beautiful Graffiti Art.

Location I

This is the First gallery in the series of Budapest Graffiti Art locations. Julius visited this location till now several times, the last visit was on September 7, 2011.

On this location e.g. work by the same artist who's making art as on the VIII. János Pal Papa tér location around Metro 4 station. In general is this a very interesting location, but difficult to make good photographs due to the place and technical problems.

The gallery exists of two pages, the first page contains pictures made on March 30 and the second gallery contains pictures made on August 10, 2011.
 

Location II

The Second gallery in the series of Budapest Graffiti Art locations. Julius visited this location till now 2 times, on March 30 and August 10, 2011.

Since the first visit no new images were added to this location. The first gallery shows some highlights of the graffiti art, the second gallery shows some pictures of the inside of the dilapidated building.

Location III

This is the Third gallery in the series of Budapest Graffiti Art locations. Julius visited this location till now only once, on May 9, 2011.

A dilapidated factory in a suburb of Budapest. Not a very special location, mainly interesting for the detail left on the photo and the whole picture which can be seen on this page.

Location IV

The Fourth gallery in the series of Budapest Graffiti Art locations. Julius visited this location till now only once, on March 31, 2011.

A dilapidated factory in a suburb of Budapest. Not a very special location, but in this factory Graffiti Art of an older date (1987?) and probable from the same artist from whom art like this, and often marked with "1987" can be found on numerous locations in Budapest, and in particular near railways. In fact it's very primitive art without perspective. Beside of it some art of another artist whos signs on several places in Budapest is to find.

Location V

The Fifth gallery in the series of Budapest Graffiti Art locations. Julius visited this location till now twice, on March 28 and on September 12, 2011.

Almost all graffiti shown on this page, is art on a wall of a channeled ditch with sloping walls (the last picture is at the beginning of this location on a wall of a house).

The graffiti is almost disappeared and from older date. It's also not graffiti art from artists whom are responsible for a lot of art in Budapest. Strange, apart location, but very interesting. A new gallery with art on this location and with pictures made in September 2011, will be added soon.

Location VI

The Sixth gallery in the series of Budapest Graffiti Art locations. Julius visited this location till now only once, on March 17, 2011.

It's graffiti of, mostly, 1995 and hidden for a big part of the year behind bushes. A bit primitive, childish art with often a tag of BGM. The gallery shows you several examples of this wall which was found by Julius in the Northern part of Budapest.

Location VII

Gallery Seven in the series of Budapest Graffiti Art locations. Julius visited this location till now several times, the gallery on this page shows the situation on March 17, 2011.

It's a location that numerous people pass every day, but are not able to see it. A small, very interesting location which still contains an old Graffiti Art image by the artist Taker and many art by MB, a group of active graffiti artists.

Since March Julius visited this location frequently, and some art shown on this gallery is disappeared.

Location VIII

Gallery Eight in the series of Budapest Graffiti Art locations. Julius visited this location till now several times. It's a new location, numerous art isn't replaced by new art.

The gallery exists of two pages: the first one shows a very strange series of art: paintings, a bit primitive but beautiful. This series is almost completely different of other graffiti art in Budapest and not all art was made by the same artist. The second gallery contains pictures mainly made in September 2011 and showing new additions on this wall.

Location IX

This is the Nineth gallery in the series of Budapest Graffiti Art locations. Julius visited this location till now twice, the first visit was on August 13, 2011.
 
In the nothern part of Budapest, not far from other locations, Julius found a channeled ditch with on the slanted walls some graffiti art. A strange place because only very few people will walk along and are able to see the art. Most of the graffiti is from older date, the newest ones dates from 2010.

Location X

This is the Tenth gallery in the series of Budapest Graffiti Art locations. Julius visited this location till now once, on June 9, 2011.

It's not the best gallery which Julius has made and better photographs will be added later if the weather and overgrowth make this possible. Nevertheless, some interesting Graffiti Art paintings and, again, one picture which is dated 1987 (but is of a more recent date).





 

Location XI

This is the Eleventh gallery in the series of Budapest Graffiti Art locations. Julius visited this location till now once, on August 20, 2011.

It's mostly old graffiti, partly hidden in a dilapidated building, near a railway. A location which officially is forbidden to visitors,
there's a guard, but Julius had luck that he was able to take some
pictures before the guard noticed him.

In this building also on a wall some pop posters from 2005 with e.g. concerts in A38.

Location XII

This is the Twelfth gallery in the series of Budapest Graffiti Art locations. Julius visited this location till now twice. The first visit was on June 9, 2011.

It's one of the most important locations in Budapest with work by numerous artists and continuously changing. Therefore Julius tries to visit this locations once a week.

Location XIV

This is the Fourteenth gallery in the series of Budapest Graffiti Art locations. Julius visited this location till now several times, the last visit was earl\y February 2012.

It's a new location, as far as known in use since earlier this year. Numerous art never is be overpainted. Thanks to Taker who gave me the information that it's not an official location but they had permission to paint the wall.

Although it's far away from the "Wall of Fame", numerous artists making art on both locations, such as Taker. Julius will follow the developments on this location from now on frequently, it has the potention to become just as famous as "The Wall".

  

Location XV

This is the Fifteenth gallery in the series of Budapest Graffiti Art locations. Julius visited this location till now several times.

In fact it's not one location but a row of garage boxes over a lenght of at least 2 kilometers with at the backside the graffiti art. The a location only occasionally gets updates, most graffiti is of older date.

The reason is probable the location: the place more and more is inhabitated by homeless with own-made "houses", and a place with a lot of waste. Beside of it, It's a difficult place to take photographs, because there's partial only a small path between the backside of the boxes and a slope. The gallery is put on 2 pages to avoid a long loading time.

Location XVI

This is the Sixteenth gallery in the series of Budapest Graffiti Art locations. Julius visited this location till now several times, the last visit was early Febraury 2012.

On this wall, in the neighbourhood of several other location, Graffiti Art by the artists who also are making art on the "Wall of Fame" and numerous other locations.
