Abstract

This research examines the phenomenon of art in Bandar Lampung coffee shops in the form of graffiti art expressions. The main question in this study is: what is the process of graffiti artists creating Jung’s ship’s ship motif works in placing the framework of local wisdom as their graffiti work? with the aim of understanding graffiti texts in proportion to Hans Georg Gadamer’s hermeneutic idea of horizon fusion which is applied to the graffiti text with the Jung Lampung ship’s top motif. The phenomenon of graffiti in urban public spaces has become a vital urban cultural marker, visual graffiti has developed far from its roots in New York and Philadelphia, evolving from a signature (tag) to sharpening a creative expression. However, in today’s urban environment, the practice of graffiti gives rise to contradictory effects and responses that can create criminal threats or artistic business opportunities. The method used to analyze graffiti data is using a cultural approach by interpreting the expressions of graffiti artists through the hermeneutic method. Based on this analysis, an intersection was found in the horizon fusion as a meeting of the past and present in the process of understanding himself (the artist) with the culture of the Lampung coastal community to create the identity of the graffiti work in the Bandar Lampung coffee shop.
