The Beat Of Urban Art - The Artwork Of Justin Bua

Product Description

Justin Bua creates cool art. His wiggly-armed D.J. intently scratches vinyl on a turntable, head & shoulder wedging in place a set of headphones that he is too cool to wear, while surrounded by the tools of his trade. " The Beat of Urban Art" showcases a motley cast of jazz musicians, homeboys, street hustlers, & neighborhood toughs
- from the heavy-lidded " Piano Man" in his cubist yellow jacket to the slyly romantic " El Guitarrista", strumming his acoustic guitar & peering lazily out of his bedroom eyes; from the exuberant nighttime craps players of " Green Street" to the joyously sneaky grafitti artist entering the subway yard through a hole in the fence in " The Artist". With sketches, studies, & narrative explaining how his pieces were created, The Beat of Urban Art takes you into the head & heart of the Toulouse-Lautrec of our times
- a man who paints the world he sees with a riot of color & movement that is as unique & modern as the art created by Keith Haring & Jean-Michel Basquiat.
