Street Art, Fine Art

The fully updated, paperback edition of 2014’s acclaimed Street Art, Fine Art presents a collection of classic works of fine art by the old masters reinterpreted by today’s most cutting-edge street artists, including new works exclusive to the paperback edition by Faith47, RUN, Walter Kershaw, JimmyC and Medhi Ghadyanloo and an artistic collaboration by Pure Evil, Agent Provocateur and Inkie. In this book, curator Ingrid Beazley draws parallels between classic and contemporary styles, showcasing how works from the Dulwich Picture Gallery’s permanent collection by painters such as Rembrandt, Gainsborough, Rubens, Van Dyck and Murillo have influenced works by street artists working in the local area such as Stik, Conor Harrington, Thierry Noir, Phlegm and RUN. Featuring pieces by 24 internationally renowned street artists, the book is illustrated with specially commissioned photography throughout.
