Subversive street art commentary on society.
If you're drawn to art with a punch and street culture turned into a political dialogue, "Wall and Piece" will resonate with you. Banksy's work, captured in this vivid book, is not just visually striking but intellectually stimulating. It defies the conventional, making you question norms and chuckle at its audacity. A good read if you enjoy art that speaks and rebels.

Description
Banksy, Britain's now-legendary "guerilla" street artist, has painted the walls, streets, and bridges of towns and cities throughout the world. Not only did he smuggle his pieces into four of New York City's major art museums, he's also "hung" his work at London's Tate Gallery and adorned Israel's West Bank barrier with satirical images. Banksy's identity remains unknown, but his work is unmistakable with prints selling for as much as $45,000.
