Description
Street Messages offers a unique insight into the literary form of expression in global street art. For thousands of years, humans have used public spaces to communicate through written messages and poems. This everyday phenomenon is often overlooked, but Street Messages sheds light on its artistic and poetic forms. The book features over 80 artists from around the world who work exclusively or partly with text. It provides a historic background to written messages in public spaces and includes numerous exclusive quotes and words of wisdom. Through its pages, you'll discover a diverse range of styles and techniques used by street artists to convey their messages. Artwork by notable figures such as Banksy, Dolk, Ben Eine, Faith 47, Flint, Kid Acne, Know Hope, Mobstr, Skki, and many others adds depth and visual interest to the book.
