The Art Of Rebellion 2 Graffiti Book review

The Art Of Rebellion 2 graffiti book by C100

Like the first Art of Rebellion this book contains a fantastic array of street art talent from around the world in a very professionally laid out way. It’s a much larger size than its predecessor and engages the reader in a very direct way from the opening line _ ‘Hello…No Worries, Everything’s…Under Control’ to the closer ‘Nice Try, but we can’t be stopped. See you’. There is a real quality ethic in the pictures and artists chosen. A real mix of artists is present too from scene stalwarts such as the London Police and Faile, through UK based artists Eine and KMR to lesser known artists such as Evol from Berlin who contributes one of my favourite pieces _  a junction box turned into a bleak tower block. Throughout the book there’s a mass of inventive practices and not just artists are covered but events such as the Finders Keepers collective, Above’s European travels and Asbestos’s Secret Santa Swap. Author C100 has extensive knowledge of his subject and has pulled off a great volume that really documents some of the best art out there.
