Textura: Valencia Street Art

Valencia is Spain's third largest city and a hotbed of vibrant street art. While elaborate murals, wheat pastes and stencils can be found throughout the city, the scene's epicenter is Barrio del Carmen, the neighborhood that comprises Valencia's old town. In this part of the city, a great number of aging structures have been razed to make room for new developments. The building lots are usually surrounded by temporary walls, which Valencia's most prolific street artists use as their canvases. Textura gathers together Luz Martín's photographs of this ephemeral phenomenon--preserving it from being painted over. The book is bundled with royalty-free images, for designers to use in their own work.
