The New 'ISM' : WALLISM






THE 20TH CENTURY WAS AWASH WITH ‘ISM’ SUCH AS ‘FAUVISM’, ‘CUBISM’, ETC.  
BUT THE 21ST CENTURY HAS BEEN FLOUNDERING IN A SEA OF ‘ANYTHING GOES’ VISUAL RHETORIC. 
THEN ONE DAY IT HIT ME, WE ARE NOW IN THE TIME OF WALLISM. 
THIS IS THE ART OF THE STREET, AND OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE A NEED TO SPEAK VISUALLY. 
OR MAYBE ITS THE TIME OF THE BEAUTIFUL VISUAL ACCIDENT.
