Graffiti Verite' (Gv) Art and Review Book

The GV ART AND REVIEW BOOK creatively captures the Artistic Genius rendered upon the abandoned building walls and alley ways of Los Angeles, CA by LA's finest Graffiti Artists. The year was 1995 and Urban Hieroglyphics was in full effect. LA style masters blew up the boring monochromatic and beige walls of the city with artistic pride and innovative personal style. Daring and talented young Graffiti Writers represented Los Angeles, West Coast with a dazzling array of Graffiti Art masterpieces..."pieces" for short. Complex wild-style design patterns, roll calls and strung out graphic characters all complimented the innovative, fresh and unique individual letter styles. Graffiti Writers from numerous crews "got up" like at no other time in LA's history. The venues were secondary, whether presented on canvas at Underground Art Galleries, multi-mix installatiions, legal murals or the many back alleys and graffiti yards... the work was hardly academic.
