Edited by French street artist Julien Malland (known as Seth) and Herve Perdriolle, a specialist in vernacular Indian art, this book offers a world tour of street art by artists entirely outside of any art discourse or public profile beyond the public evidence of the work itself.

Divided into three: 'Draw', 'Paint', 'Make', this book celebrates and discusses the work of forty-five urban artists, extraordinarily diverse but united by one basic principle: their work is completely fresh, original and the epitome of creativity - an antidote to the jaded imagery that fills our streets and our media.

Showcases the work of 38 truly innovative and inspirational artists who use low-cost, low-tech media and often totally original techniques to produce work that defies categorization and pushes the boundaries of art itself. This book is suitable for those fascinated by the extraordinary creativity emerging at the raw edge of contemporary art.

Here is a report from the trenches on the most exciting and original graffiti scene to emerge in the past decade. From extraordinary creative extremes generated amidst urban deprivation to crafted murals at their most elaborate, Graffiti Brasil offers both stunning photography and in-depth history and insight from world authorities on the subject.
