This exhibition catalogue from renowned street art expert Magda Danysz introduces the reader to the most important street artists worldwide, offering an overview of the most important styles and techniques.

With her own gallery having operated between Shanghai, London and Paris for the last decade, Danysz uses her expertise to shine a spotlight on urban art in Southeast Asia for the first time.

The catalogue presents exciting new talents, such as Felipe Pantone, whose work is also featured on the book cover. New works - created for the show and featured in the book - illustrate the vitality and diversity of the Street Art movement and its relevance today.
