A Perfect Soldier - Graffiti

Street culture and graffiti are popular to be provocative, attractive, daring and uncompromising. Graffiti have recently turn into a rich medium for endless expression of creative ideas and statements. Actually, creative designers as well as artists around the world take advantage of this type of art to deliver their own message and show off their work.
Blu is a pseudonym of the Italian artist who has intentionally made a decision to hide his true identity. What little is known regarding him is that he lives in Bologna as well as he is active in the street art scene ever since 1999. Blu has hit up his home country once again at the Draw The Line Festival in Campobasso, Italy. This particular mural reveals a lot about Blu’s view of war and the military’s production of troopers. I say “production” simply because Blu’s portrayal makes it appear to be practically such as an assembly line, and according to him, the end result is an army of brainless drones.
