Vertical Wisdom was created to establish that properly crafted graffiti typeface does not have to rely on a horizontal vector to be accurate and exact. Hence the vertical axis of the main composition of the painting. In the background the artist C. Van A’ger chose to put the word (Vertical) on an horizontal axis for a humorous effect. To finalize this masterpiece he adorned it with icons from his youth.
