Product Description
Product Description
Buenos Aires is the second largest city in South America. It should come as no surprise then that it boasts a sprawling and distinctive street art scene that reflects the civic pride of the portenos the word used to refer to the citys citizens as well as the influences of global graffiti, street art and visual cultures. Textura Dos: Buenos Aires Street Art breaks the city down into neighborhoods, or barrios, providing a stunning visual tour of the city. The authors recount their experiences exploring the featured barrios, meeting the artists and photographing their work. In revealing these visual aspects of Buenos Aires the authors also share their views of Buenos Aires, one of the worlds great cities. From the murals of Palermo and San Telmo to the tags, burners and politically charged work of La Boca, the richness of the citys urban art takes shape between the covers of this book. Like the original Textura, Textura Dos also makes available to readers via download high-resolution files of graffiti patterns and textures that can be used for any number of design applications.

A gripping read and visually fantastic! I have recommended this book to many friends and colleagues and I hope it has the success it deserves. There is something there for everyone and the layers and textures of street art are (or should be) inspirational to all. I look forward to the next in the series!

Packed full of pictures, recognising a locale of street art that hasn't hit the mainstream yet. Great book!
