Last Saturday I attended the Wall Lords graffiti battle<\/a> in Chengdu, spending the afternoon watching incredible graffiti murals materialize in front of me. My good friend (and now nationally-known) graffiti artist Gas<\/a> told me about the event a month ago when Xeme, a well known Hong Kong-based writer visited Chengdu to scout locations for the event. They ended up securing a just-constructed church on the outskirts of Chengdu, in the upscale Luxe Hills housing development complex.<\/p>\n In short: a massive graffiti battle attracting crews and writers from all over China, to paint inside a church on a Saturday afternoon. For Chengdu’s humble street art scene, this is the stuff of dreams.\u00a0Rather than go on about what a joy the event was (I also had a blast DJ’ing there), I’ll let the photos do the talking.<\/p>\n After arriving at the Luxe Hills gate, it was about a ten minute walk up stairs to get to the church. Outside of the church there were about 10 writers doing their thing and inside is where the competition was held and musicians performed.
