• A new wave of artists are subverting the three dimensional streetscape to shock, educate, entertain and reclaim the corporate theft of street creativity.

• These artists are blurring the lines of fine art and street art by creating 3D works that interact with their surroundings yet are often political or illegal.

• Profiling the work of 30 artists from across the globe, through interviews, commentary and 200 colour illustrations.

• Works range from tiny mosaic space invader characters being tiled on walls to four storey high charcoal drawings sketched onto the side of buildings.

200 illustrations, 200 in colour
