Graffitied Royal Residences

Kelburn Castle Embraces Street Art on Its Walls Indefinitely

— September 5, 2011 — Art & Design
If anyone needed any more proof that graffiti and other forms of street art have been accepted by the people as a true art form in itself, one needs only to look upon Kelburn Castle. The son and daughter of Patrick Boyle, the earl of Glasgow, have commissioned an expansive mural and are now seeking to make it a permanent part of the historical royal abode.

Created by a group of Brazilian street artists from Sao Paolo Nina and Nunca Os Gemeos, the mural on Kelburn Castle features bright, psychedelic scenes interwoven with surreal characters. Although it doesn't seem very regal, the fact that aristocratic families, who are often considered quite traditional and even stuffy, are embracing this contemporary art form really shows how far graffiti has come in the public's eye.
Trend Themes
1. Graffiti Art Integration - Increasing integration of street art into traditional buildings and landmarks presents an opportunity for artists and property owners to collaborate and bring new life to historical structures.
2. Acceptance of Non-traditional Art Forms - Growing acceptance of street art as a legitimate art form opens doors for artists to explore new mediums and showcase their work in mainstream settings.
3. Artistic Collaborations - Increased collaboration between property owners and artists provide an opportunity for unique and striking artwork that can both boost tourism and promote creative expression.
Industry Implications
1. Real Estate and Property Owners - Property owners and investors can benefit from integrating art installations as part of their real estate assets to boost property values and attract clientele.
2. Art and Culture Tourism - Growing interest and appreciation for street art can promote tourism in a city or region and create opportunities for local artists to showcase their work on a broader stage.
3. Arts and Creative Industries - Collaborations between artists and property owners provide new avenues for creativity and expression, as well as new business opportunities for businesses in the arts and creative industries.
