Product Information
Simply opening these covers commits you to being dazzled by 100 of the UK's top writers and street artists, immersing yourself in the styles, past and present, which make UK street art great. Upon its arrival in the UK from New York in the 1980s, graffiti rapidly spread across the island, infecting the youth like a stylistic virus. Out of the early days came names that would become part of UK writing legend, such as Mode2, Zaki Dee, Choci, Goldie, and Robbo. Alongside works by these pioneers, we sweep across the whole of the UK, taking in Scotland and Wales, running through the nineties, right up to the modern day when more advanced, technical graffiti, wheat pasting, and stencilling are the new media on the street. This collection includes works by Aroe, Skore, Xens and Kem, Mef, and more. Guiding us through this review is Steam 156, who was there at the start and is still as passionate as ever. This is a must-have collection for graffiti writers and fans around the world. AUTHOR: Under the alias Steam 156, Frank Malt has been documenting graffiti worldwide since 1983. He runs a website aerosolplanet.com. ILLUSTRATIONS: 810 colour photographsProduct Identifiers
