This vibrant and cutting-edge fully illustrated 128 page book charts the development of urban art from its European roots in the late 1960s with Ernest Pignon Ernest, contrasted with Kent Twitchell in early 1970s LA coming right up to the present day. An increasingly prominent and eloquent feature of the modern cityscape, urban art encompasses installations ranging from large scale illusory murals,and 3D pavement art, right down to miniature paintings on discarded cigarette stubs. This book goes right under the skin of the concepts behind the work, exploring the motivations and messages inherent in this global movement, using recycled art, performance art and pastiches thatsynthesize myriad cultural influences. Artists featured include tarmac interventionist Roadsworth, cardboard vehicle constructivist IceCreamVanMan, spraypaint pointillist Jimmy C, illusionists Sten & Lex and many more artists from locations as diverse as Casablanca, Capetown, Marseilles, Montreal, Berlin and Bristol.
