商品簡介
Grammy and Academy Award-nominated singer, songwriter, artist and celebrity fashion icon M.I.A.'s first, and only, collection of emotionally charged, revolutionary graffiti art
Long before her chart-topping hit single "Paper Planes" could be heard in every club and on every radio station around the world, before her Academy Award nomination, before her famous Grammy performance while nearly nine months pregnant, and before she traveled the world to play sold-out shows to millions of screaming fans, M.I.A. was a young girl trying to survive amid violence.
Until she was ten years-old, Maya Arulpragasam (better known by her stage name M.I.A.) coped with the day-to-day realities of the Sri Lankan civil war. Her father a Tamil Tiger revolutionary, Maya came of age in a world torn apart by violence and constant political unrest-a world where family and friends were constantly lost to the raging battles of the streets. After moving to London with her family as an asylum seeker, learning English, and setting out on a self-made journey to stardom, Maya, a political activist and multi-media artist at her very core, turned back to the canvases she knew best-city walls, streets, and buildings-and the medium she knew best-graffiti art-to explore and express the lingering questions of her youth.
In this stunning, full color, collection of graffiti art from an often-forgotten region of endemic conflict, Maya presents an artistic vision that will challenge your ethical core. Questioning authority and revolution, invoking violence, death, and the military experience, she mixes, samples, and scratches contemporary urban themes with powerful political messages and imagery. The aesthetic is simple and direct, reminiscent of propaganda art. Sometimes standing alone, sometimes paired with her candid song lyrics, Maya's graffiti transforms bloodshed into art and demonstrates the power and beauty of forbidden expression.
