台灣街頭塗鴉現象對近代街頭文化發展而言,不僅僅是公共空間強烈的視覺焦點,也是年輕世代想藉由街頭空間來傳達自我與表現內在世界的管道。台灣街頭的塗鴉客,他們在沒有激烈相對的社會環境下生活、成長,他們受著高學歷與美術背景的訓練,部分成為塗鴉藝術家,部份成為街頭遊擊者或弱勢團體的發聲代表。循著社會時代的轉變、商業經濟的影響,在無意或刻意間,延伸出讓台灣年輕族群熱中追求與響往的街頭文化,而這台灣新竄出的文化,卻依照著國外傳統藝術主流文化,被套進所謂「次文化」的化外領域,只是,台灣街頭塗鴉的發展、興起的環境背景與國外街頭塗鴉的發展歷程有著相當的差異,因此我們不能一再地以國外經驗來看待台灣的街頭塗鴉。 台灣街頭塗鴉環境與行為的衝突引起了各界人士的探討;研究者除以探討國內外相關文獻,亦在旅行各地期間,拍攝各式各樣的街頭塗鴉與其存在之空間特性,並調查相關街頭文化產業的發展現況,用以研究、比較,進而記錄下台灣街頭塗鴉的發展與變化,再透過與台灣街頭塗鴉文化各界人士的訪談,找尋出屬於台灣街頭塗鴉的課題與對策,提出台灣街頭塗鴉未來發展的相關策略規劃,以提供公部門作為日後執行街頭塗鴉相關規劃之參考。
