Making their statements on the walls of the world's major cities,
these emerging artists are also making their way to the forefront
of an increasingly crowded genre. As street artists move from the
fringe to the mainstream, it's hard to know who is a true talent
and who's just a flash in the pan. Filled with stunning photography
and portraits of each artist, this book identifies twenty rising
stars whose imaginative and technically brilliant works are
bringing them to the forefront of the genre. Each artist is
profiled in multiple-page spreads that include background texts,
portraits, and a sampling of their work. Included here are
London-based artist Ben Slow, whose black ink and deeply expressive
faces grace a number of buildings in the UK capital; Parisian
artist Ardif, whose hybrid creatures merge machines with nature;
Inti, who uses large, vividly colored murals to critique modern
Chilean society; and American Vince Ballentine, whose technique
combines elements of rap and hip hop. Whether rebelling against the
establishment or bringing communities together; highlighting
important issues or expressing a unique creative vision; these
artists are living proof of street art's lasting influence,
infinite adaptability, and remarkable diversity.
