Is street art really art? The question seems absurd--the term itself defines it: street art.
However, it is not so absurd.
Thousands of people all over the world think that graffiti, stickers, and stencils are not art.
In this book, we can see some rebellious, stubborn street artists.
Some are more stubborn than others.
Not all of them are so disgusted with the traditional art world.
But they have all come from the street.
From the world of street art and graffiti.
These works can be exhibited in galleries, but they do not belong there: the canvases are pieces of concrete plucked temporarily from their natural surroundings.
In this respect, this book embodies The Resistance.
No less than 1000 images of urban resistance.
