Book Overview

Stencil Graffiti takes a worldwide look at stencil art, its history, and its applications in commercial art, street signage, and the urban environment. Tristan Manco talks to major figures on and off the street, from Shepard Fairey and Blek to Nylon and Banksy. The result is a broad record of politically charged, poetic, and playful stencil works.

The book is organised around themes and artist profiles, including sections on pop art, making your mark, and the movement of stencil work into galleries, clothing, and new media.

Why This Book Matters

Stencil graffiti is a low-tech response to a high-tech, image-saturated world. This book records a global wave of artists who use simple templates to speak directly to the public.

It is an essential reference for anyone interested in contemporary design, street art, and urban culture. The photographs also serve as time capsules of city walls that have since been destroyed or painted over.
