Buenos Aires, South America's second largest city, boasts a sprawling and distinctive street art scene that reflects the civic pride of the porteños-the word used to refer to its citizens-as well as the influences of global graffiti, street art, and visual cultures. Textura Dos: Buenos Aires Street Art breaks the city down by its neighborhoods, or barrios, providing a stunning visual tour of one of the world's great cities. The bilingual text in English and Spanish ensures that this book will appeal to locals as well as anyone interested in contemporary international graffiti and street art.
Authors Guilherme Zauith and Matt Fox-Tucker recount their experiences exploring featured neighborhoods, meeting artists, and photographing their work. They also provide historical background about the barrios, which connects to the varied styles that ornament the city.
From the murals of Palermo and San Telmo to the tags, burners, and politically charged work of La Boca, the richness of the city's urban art and local politics takes shape between the covers of this book.
Like the original Textura, Textura Dos also makes available to readers (via download) high-resolution files of graffiti patterns and textures that can be used for any number of design applications.
