SynopsisIn the past three or four years, Detroit has become a "spraycation" spot for graffiti artists. Formerly known as the automotive capital of the world, the media now refers to the Motor City as a bankrupt ruin--a shadow of its former self. Thanks to the city's street artists, however, Detroit is experiencing an artistic renaissance. The author has recorded the work produced by these graffiti writers and documented the evolution of Detroit street art culture in more than a dozen neighborhoods in and around this resilient Midwest city between 2008 and 2013. This photographic dossier is the first book to exclusively feature graffiti from Detroit, where one in every five structures is vacant, abandoned, or dilapidated. As industry disappears, the number of vacant walls increases, drawing the attention of the most talented graffiti artists and writers on the planet., A showcase of graffiti art in and around Detroit through over 500 photographs across a dozen neightborhoods Formerly known as the automotive capital of the world, Detroit has since become somewhat of a "spraycation" spot for graffiti artists.
