Download or read book Crap Graffiti written by Adam Elliott and published by Random House. This book was released on 2012-09-25 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Graffiti. It can be a diverse form of expression and thoughtprovoking art; whether painted on the side of a train or on a canvas hanging in a gallery. Or, as you will see immortalised in the glorious pages of Crap Graffiti, it can be crude drunken daubing, nonsensical statements or hilarious outpourings of uncontained rage. Crap Graffiti documents these bizarre and puerile creations, celebrates the inept and enthusiastically applauds creative dyslexia. This is definitely not art, but really awful, lame graffiti: the incompetent attempts of beginners or the ‘profound’ musings of lunatics scrawled on the back of toilet cubicle doors. Welcome to the Cream of the Crap.

Book excerpt: A collection of photographs by artist Scott Hocking of the 'bad', often humourous graffiti seen in urban areas.

Download or read book Graffiti Girl written by Kelly Parra and published by MTV Books. This book was released on 2007-05-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Graffiti art. It's bold. It's thrilling. And it can get a girl into serious trouble.... Raised by her single mom (who's always dating the wrong kind of man) in a struggling California neighborhood, Angel Rodriguez is a headstrong, independent young woman who channels her hopes and dreams for the future into her painting. But when her entry for a community mural doesn't rate, she's heartbroken. Even with winning artist Nathan Ramos—a senior track star and Angel's secret crush—taking a sudden interest in Angel and her art, she's angry and hurt. She's determined to find her own place in the art world, her own way. That's when Miguel Badalin—from the notorious graffiti crew Reyes Del Norte—opens her eyes to an underground world of graf tags and turf wars. She's blown away by this bad boy's fantastic work and finds herself drawn to his dangerous charm. Soon she's running with Miguel's crew, pushing her skills to the limit and beginning to emerge as the artist she always dreamed she could be. But Nathan and Miguel are bitter enemies with a shared past, and choosing between them and their wildly different approaches to life and art means that Angel must decide what matters most before the artist inside of her can truly break free.
Book Synopsis Contemporary British Art by : Grant Pooke
Download or read book Contemporary British Art written by Grant Pooke and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last few decades have been among the most dynamic within recent British cultural history. Artists across all genres and media have developed and re-fashioned their practice against a radically changing social and cultural landscape – both national and global. This book takes a fresh look at some of the themes, ideas and directions which have informed British art since the later 1980s through to the first decade of the new millennium. In addition to discussing some iconic images and examples, it also looks more broadly at the contexts in which a new ‘post-conceptual’ generation of artists, those typically born since the late 1950s and 1960s have approached and developed aspects of their professional practice. Contemporary British Art is an ideal introduction to the field. To guide the reader, the book is organised around genres or related practices – painting; sculpture and installation; and film, video and performance. The first chapter explores aspects of the contemporary art market and some of the contexts within which art is made, supported and exhibited. The chapters that discuss various genres of art practice also mention books that may be useful to support further reading. Extensively illustrated with a wide range of work (both known, and less well-known) from artists such as Chris Ofili, Rachel Whiteread, Damien Hirst, Banksy, Anthony Gormley, Jack Vettriano, Sam Taylor-Wood, Steve McQueen and Tracey Emin, and many more.

Download or read book Mudlark: In Search of London's Past Along the River Thames written by Lara Maiklem and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Engrossing . . . evokes the subculture of the ‘mudlarks,’ who scour the banks for fragments of London’s past.”—The New Yorker The international bestseller that mesmerizingly charts quixotic journeys through London’s past, Mudlark thrills Anglophiles and history lovers alike. Long heralded as a city treasure herself, beloved “Mudlark” Lara Maiklem tirelessly treks along the Thames’ muddy shores, unearthing a myriad of artifacts and their stories—from Roman hairpins and perfectly preserved Tudor shoes to the clay pipes that were smoked in riverside taverns. Seamlessly interweaving reflections from her own life with meditations on the art of wandering, Maiklem ultimately delivers a treatise “as deep and as rich as the Thames and its treasures” (Stanley Tucci).
Download or read book Street Art Tel Aviv written by and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2021-05-07 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Distinctly unique, Tel Aviv's street art represents a wide spectrum of cultural backgrounds and aesthetic sensibilities. Echoing the uncertainty that permeates Israel's daily existence, it possesses a rawness and energy found in few modern cities. Through more than 250 images, 14 artist profiles, and comprehensive research, Street Art Tel Aviv introduces the reader to an alternative visual culture that has developed and thrived at a time when the citys building exteriors are plentiful, and living and workspaces are still available to emerging artists. At the turn of the 21st century, Tel Aviv's gritty streets, particularly those in southern industrial neighbourhoods, began to host a motley array of spectral faces, uncanny figures and curious characters. Random graffiti, from scrawls on the walls to stylized letters, made their way into largely vacant spaces. Artistic renderings of band-aids, hearts and eggplants evolved into iconic city images. Poetic expressions and musings from the personal to the collective surfaced increasingly on Tel Aviv's flat facades. And while much of what is painted directly onto the walls avoids commenting on the city's precarious political state, the stencils that continue to surface often stealthily in the dark alert us to the citys seemingly irresolvable, ever-present external and internal conflicts. Street Art Tel Aviv also gives entry into Tel Aviv's Central Bus Station, Israel's largest indoor urban art gallery. Showcasing murals in a diverse range of styles, painted directly onto its walls by local, national and international artists since 2013, it is a favourite site for street art and contemporary art enthusiasts. Herewith the opportunity to explore this vibrant city's visual landscape at a time of transition for both the city itself and for this new visual art genre.
Book Synopsis Post-Socialist Political Graffiti in the Balkans and Central Europe by : Mitja Velikonja
Download or read book Post-Socialist Political Graffiti in the Balkans and Central Europe written by Mitja Velikonja and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-10-30 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This theoretically and empirically grounded book uses case studies of political graffiti in the post-socialist Balkans and Central Europe to explore the use of graffiti as a subversive political media. Despite the increasing global digitisation, graffiti remains widespread and popular, providing with a few words or images a vivid visual indication of cultural conditions, social dynamics and power structures in a society, and provoking a variety of reactions. Using qualitative and quantitative methods, as well as detailed interdisciplinary analyses of "patriotic," extreme-right, soccer-fan, nostalgic, and chauvinist graffiti and street art, it looks at why and by whom graffiti is used as political media and to/against whom it is directed. The book theorises discussions of political graffiti and street art to show different methodological approaches from four perspectives: context, author, the work itself, and audience. It will be of interest to the growing body of literature focussing on (sub)cultural studies in the contemporary Balkans, transitology, visual cultural studies, art theory, anthropology, sociology, and studies of radical politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seventeen-year-old Dylan Marshall is practically invisible. No-one knows he is homeless and caring for his alcoholic father – and no-one knows he’s the infamous street artist Xavier, whose portraits are painted all over town. Dylan’s only glimmer of hope is the chance to win a place in his dream art school. It’s his one chance to escape, and his last chance at a life away from the streets. But Dylan didn’t count on Libby Green. When the overachieving do-gooder catches him graffitiing, Dylan is sure his art-school dreams are over. Instead, Libby offers him a bargain: help her with an art project, in exchange for her silence. Libby Green is not what Dylan expected. And the longer they spend together, the harder it is to guard the truth of his life. Dylan never expected to have another secret: the girl who could ruin everything makes his soul beam every colour imaginable.
