Stencil Graffiti Capital: Melbourne

by Jake Smallman

Stencil Graffiti Capital: Melbourne Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

An edgy, lavishly visual survey that shows the best work of the best street artists working in Melbourne, Australia. Bansky, the well known British stencil artist, after a visit to Melbourne, in 2003 said: "The walls of Melbourne are very noisy...like the noise of a hundred drunk people talking among themselves. "He went on to say," It looks like the city belongs to anyone that wants it. It feels like there's more opportunity. "Through intimate interviews, dynamic layouts and a riot of examples the street artists are shown in the context of world street art culture. Important questions such as why they paint are closely examined. Melbourne's walls are both canvases and meeting place for ideas, making it the hot-bed for the best in stencil graffiti art.

Synopsis:

A riot of photographs and interviews demonstrates why Melbourne is considered a global capital for stencil graffiti.
