Wild Drawing (WD), Context and Content: The Art of WD. Edited by Kostis Kourelis. Grand Forks, ND: The Digital Press at the University of North Dakota

Wild Drawing (WD) is the leading figure in Athens’ street art scene that blossomed in the 2010s. His distinctive style of realism, anamorphic perspective, and classical aesthetics has won him international recognition and commissions throughout the world. This well illustrated volume features WD’s major works accompanied by interpretive essays by historians, urbanists, curators, artists, and conservators. It is the first scholarly monograph on the work of a Greek street artist. A native of Bali, WD introduced to European art a unique perspective of the immigrant outsider. His work tackles environmental injustice in the global South, capitalist exploitation, and class inequalities. Versed in multiple mythic traditions, WD’s work provides hope for a better future. 

With contributions by Konstantinos Avramidis, Maria Chatzidakis, Sofia Fragkiskou, Panos Leventis, Dewa Nyoman Ketha, Kostis Kourelis, and Julia Tulke.
