There's a movie that might provide you some understanding. Pixo [0].

Tangential, but I highly recommend the documentary Pixo (2009). It talks about the story of "pixação", an artform typical of São Paulo, which has been called vandalism by some people in this post - and it's not that simple.
Actually it is the opposite, it is a scream from those who don't really have a voice in the city.
Really recommend watching the documentary PIXO, you can find the full doc in YouTube with english subtitles.
[edit: suggesting the documentary]
I think the documentary about "pixo" is pertinent here, "pixo" is a political manifestation. It is meant to be ugly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skGyFowTzew
