In the world of Art, one area of study that gets both maligned and praised is the graffiti scene.
A notable artist from it is the imitable Keith Harring. With his bold outlines and loud colors, his art was very califorinian and bright. However, most Graffiti art is rough crude and in some cases, not even original. Here we go to the British Artist, Banksy.
Banksy represents a style of Graffiti art that focuses less on abstract art to more realistic stenciled style works. A good example of this is his piece of an ATM attacking a young girl:
A majority of his art is worked that is based on either subverting pedestrian ideas or if not that, usually it'll be something amusing like a hole that leads to a tropical paradise on a staid grey wall.
Art like his true to the art of Graffiti.

banksy is the most famous of all graffiti artists! And we're not really sure who he is...
I have a book on him in my office if you'd like to borrow it.
