When Arabic Graffiti by German publisher From Here To Fame was published earlier this year, I already wrote some line about the book, because it extrapolated a totally new field of graffiti reflection. With images of the energetic Arabic calligraphy in mind I was really looking forward to get my own copy…with good reason!
Arabic Graffiti is not just a great collection of astonishing artworks by different artists like L’Atlas, Sun7, eL Seed and others, but also a nice reading when it comes to Arabic script and calligraphy or public art in Middle East in general. On round about 200 colored pages, the book brings together artists, graffiti writers and typographers from around the globe who merge Arabic calligraphy with the art of graffiti writing, street art and urban culture…
For me, this book is definitely a must to have for all who want to discover a new world, different from bold-letter styles in European or North-American metropolises! There are some copies left on Amazon…
