However, there is now emerging a new wave of artists who are moving in fresh directions beyond graffiti and street art.

Often using new materials fly-tipped rubbish, street signs, children's toys, chalk, vinyl, perspex these artists are subverting the three-dimensional street scape to shock, educate and entertain.
