Mural Art II: Murals on Huge Public Surfaces around the World from Graffiti to Trompe l'oeil

Brilliant successor to the original and highly successful Mural Art, this second edition further underlines the theory that art is a form of expression that should not be restricted or limited in any way. These remarkable paintings in public places express human feelings such as protest, passion, resistance, tenderness and violence, all of which are connected to our needs for communication and socialization. Artists featured in Mural Art 2 include Sebastian James, CPAG, Roberto Delgado, ESCIF, PSY, REMED, Stick Up Kids, Macrew, Ken White, XLF Crew, Mr Wany, Gert Neuhaus and many more. All have worked on a monumental scale and used every imaginable technique to transform lifeless gray facades into bright, meaningful and fascinating works of art.These stories illustrate the incredible audacity, originality and sheer bloody mindedness of Banksy, who obviously will be best remembered for his art and exposing the hypocrisy and idiocy of our modern lives.
