For this show the well known photographer Boogie did a work about Milano, a critical photographic review about a few hidden spots and interesting situations. A must-see.

Boogie 1 – 2

Thanks to my friend Giacomo, here you are the five best art prints of 2008 (according to him, obviously) with the corresponding street works.

Thank you Giacomo for this great selection!

1) Hope – Shepard fairey

The iconic image by Shepard fairey for the recent u.s. elections. Recently the orginal piece of this work has been acquired by the Nation Protrait Gallery of Washington DC. Good deal for Shepard and for streetart in general!

2) Demos – Blu

Blu is probably the most respected street artist on the scene right now. However, his work on paper has been often criticized for not being as powerful as his street work. I’m sure this print isn’t among these works: it is huge, well printed and brings on your wall the power of Blu’s street work! By the way, it is still available at studiocromie.org !

3) Very Little Helps – Banksy

It’s not possible to make a “best of” about streetart and forget to mention master Banksy! With the print presented at POW Open Day in December, Banksy offered us another powerful image to his imagery, an instant classic!

4) Graf Geisha – Hush

Hush has been indicated as one of the 20 golden boys of brit art earlier this year, his style is always evolving and his shows are usually sold out before they start, keep an eye on him!

5) Splash – Grafter

Finally, a new entry. Grafter has been one of the revelations of the first edition of the Cans Festival. The guy is gaining more and more respect and his best work to date is certainly Splash. Let’s see if the rookie will confirm himself in 2009.
