Street Art's Rising Stars

The coffee-table book "Street Art's Rising Stars" presents emerging street art and graffiti artists spraying their statements on buildings in the world's biggest cities. The artists have made their way to the forefront of an increasingly crowded genre.

As street artists move from the margins to the mainstream, it is difficult to know who is a true talent and who is just a spark in the pan. Filled with stunning photography and portraits of each artist, this art book identifies 20 rising stars whose imaginative and technically brilliant works propel them to the forefront of the genre.

Each artist is profiled on several pages with background text, portraits and a selection of their work. Among them are London-based artist Ben Slow, whose black ink and deeply expressive faces adorn a number of buildings in the British capital; Parisian artist Ardif, whose hybrid creatures fuse machines with nature; Inti, who uses large, vividly colored murals to critique modern Chilean society; and American Vince Ballentine, whose technique combines elements of rap and hip-hop.

Whether they rebel against the established order or bring communities together; highlight important issues or convey a unique creative vision; these artists are living proof of street art's enduring influence, infinite adaptability and remarkable diversity.
