3D Street Art: Off the Walls is a fascinating and well curated look at many (many!) different 3D graffiti artists and their art, written by Erni Vales. Due out 20th Feb 2024, it's 128 pages and will be available in hardcover and ebook formats.
This is such an attractive and engaging book. The author is an artist, and speaks from a place of respect and knowledge about the evolution of 3D street art and the artists who have embraced the illusion of depth and dimension in their work.
The books chapters feature a background, information, and gallery profile for 14 well known graffitists including commentary on their working methods and artistic vision, and lots of color photos of each artist's work. They're all stunning, but some of them are truly amazing; just the *scale* of some of the work is mind-blowing (whole huge apartment blocks in a few cases).
Five stars. Definitely one for public or school library acquisition, home use, artist studios, and possibly more formal instruction/curriculum.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
