Description
The book 'Spray For Peace' features a survey of the greatest graffiti artists in Los Angeles: Cache, Aise Born, Black Light King, Galo, Teachr1, Yval One, UTI Crew, Plek, and Moezart.
Their expression is unique, visionary and selfless. They are street artists creating art for their community and not monetary gain. The walls are their canvas to communicate with their contemporaries. Graffiti artists continuing the tradition by any means necessary. When we walk down the street and see graffiti, most of us will admire the art, take a selfie, or maybe even mindlessly walk right by it. Rarely do we think about who created it, spent all night painting it, and who risked themselves to share it with their community. This book is about the incredible street art that makes LA a vibrant city, but also about the artists who live and breathe graffiti. All these artists come from such different paths in life, and yet each unique journey led them to the same walls in the city of angels.
