Ever wondered what hides under that final coat of paint on a wall filled with graffiti? How about a wall that was painted over and over for 30 years? Well, you’re about to get your answer.
Imgur user PaulDeGraaf has uploaded his detailed analysis of a segment he peeled off of a Graffiti Hall of Fame called “Doornroosje” in the city of Nijmegen, the Netherlands. “What started as a 70’s Hippie cult place, became a center of music and art in the early 80’s,” PaulDeGraaf writes. “One of the first places where it was legal to smoke cannabis. It still a Music studio and Graffiti Hall of Fame. The building is surrounded by walls that are all spray painted from top to bottom.”
