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. "In Los
Angeles we have some of the best Artists in the world...if not the
best " ---Nerv, Artist. This historical Art Book is based upon the
multi award-winning documentary "Graffiti Verite': Read the Writing
on the Wall." GV ART AND REVIEW BOOK includes the Art, Media
Reviews, Artists Interviews, Outtakes and the complete "Graffiti
Verite': Read the Writing on the Wall" shooting script. A must-have
for anyone interested in contemporary Art - Highly educational
Perfect for Schools and Libraries. "Ready or Not, Graffiti Art is
the next Great Art Movement after Pop Art." ---Bob Bryan, Filmmaker
