New York is the world capital of street graphics – a creative kaleidoscope of signs, graffiti, murals and advertising. Its innovative ideas, styles and media quickly become international trends.
Street Graphics New York captures the city's cultural diversity – jazz age elegance, brash sixties Pop Art, hip-hop graffiti, anarchic stencil and sticker art.
New York's landmark's are appropriated for chic fashion advertising and and iconic tourist souvenirs, and here too is the city's 9/11 experience, up on the walls in emotionally charged imagery.
Barry Dawson's visual themes excite, inform and surprise. New York's streets are acutely observed and vividly presented in a vital design sourcebook and a unique urban guidebook.
