Asphalt Renaissance

Asphalt Renaissance

by KurtWenner (Author)

Synopsis

"Asphalt Renaissance" brilliantly recounts the re-imagining of street painting by innovative artist and Internet sensation Kurt Wenner. Wenner revolutionised this ancient art by creating a technique that produces astounding images in 3-D; they reach out of the pavement toward the viewer and appear perilously deep. Featuring photographs of hundreds of his paintings, this volume spans Wenner's career and captures his thoughts on art and the ephemeral nature of his work. It also includes a free poster.
