Amsterdam based artist Niels Shoe Meulman revolutionised the art of writing in 2007 when he coined the now globally recognised style of Calligraffiti, an art form that fuses calligraphy and graffiti. His painting style is close to abstract expressionism with a calligraphic origin and plays an important role in the new art movement Abstract Vandalism. Having spent his life painting letters, the Lodhi wall was the first time that he used his own words in his work by painting a poem he wrote. He also likes to have nature involved in his works which comes in the form of brooms that he uses which are made of organic materials.

Here's the poem he wrote:

"Sans serifs no letters
and no words to read
sans words no signs
no names in the streets
just rows of buildings
and gardens sans weeds"
