The GV ART AND REVIEW BOOK creatively captures the Artistic Genius rendered upon the abandoned building walls and alley ways of Los Angeles, CA by LA's finest Graffiti Artists. The year was 1995 and Urban Hieroglyphics was in full effect. LA style masters blew up the boring monochromatic and beige walls of the city with artistic pride and innovative personal style. Daring and talented young Graffiti Writers represented Los Angeles, West Coast with a dazzling array of Graffiti Art masterpieces..."pieces" for short. Complex wild-style design patterns, roll calls and strung out graphic characters all complimented the innovative, fresh and unique individual letter styles. Graffiti Writers from numerous crews "got up" like at no other time in LA's history. The venues were secondary, whether presented on canvas at Underground Art Galleries, multi-mix installatiions, legal murals or the many back alleys and graffiti yards... the work was hardly academic.

Art, for Seerveld, belongs to the very infrastructure of a good society, in the same way that a country's economy, transportation system, or media network do: "With a vital artistic infrastructure priming its inhabitants' imaginativity, a society can dress its wounds and be able to clothe and mitigate what otherwise might become naked technocratic deeds." Redemptive Art in Society, introduced by Adrienne Dengerink Chaplin, addresses the need for Christian public artistry and ways in which Christians can be stewards of art.
