Talk About Street Art

This book covers the diverse media and techniques, including graffiti, stencils, tags, and lettering, interventions, urban sculptures, collage, distortions, and multimedia. Street art, from OBEY Giant posters to Banksy’s stencils, is omnipresent. Graffiti and street art have long been part of our visual culture, evolving from ancestral caves to New York City’s subway walls.

The artist’s engagement and state of mind are crucial, covering topics like anonymity, danger, codes of conduct, and ideological engagement. Street art is found globally, with each country’s unique modes of expression and specificities. Alongside this history, the book contains portraits of 30 key artists, a glossary, and an address book of important venues and artistic places.
