Tristan Manco, perhaps the world's most influential commentator on street art, showcases the work of 38 truly innovative and inspirational artists who use low-cost, low-tech media and often totally original techniques to produce work that defies categorization and pushes the boundaries of art itself.
• Many of them repurpose utilitarian or scrap materials, from unglamorous items of domestic waste, found wood and even organic detritus such as skin and nails to recycled toys, books, skateboards, firecrackers and lights. Others show creative approaches to traditional or proven media such as paper, stone, concrete and steel.
• The ingeniously crafted and thought-provoking results range across a broad spectrum, from intimate paper collages to large public sculptures constructed from discarded wood. Anyone fascinated by the extraordinary creativity currently emerging at the raw edge of contemporary art will find this book compelling reading.

"A Wonderful Book!! – I've just finished reading through my copy of this wonderful book from front to back and I am sitting here absolutely stunned at the visual wonders I've just been exposed to. The presentation of each artist has just the right mix of text and photos, and the world-wide scope of the coverage is amazing. As soon as I finish writing this review I plan to email a handful of my artist friends to turn them on to this find. Kudos to Tristan Manco and the editorial staff at Thames & Hudson for hitting the bullseye and publishing this jewel!!"
