About the Author

Paul Cavalieri is a renowned chronicler of urban street art, whose passion for the raw energy of New York City's subway system blossomed in the vibrant graffiti scene of the 1980s. As a photographer and documentarian, he captured the ephemeral beauty of tags, murals, and wildstyles that transformed the underbelly of the metropolis into a living gallery. His work not only preserves a pivotal moment in hip-hop culture but also highlights the voices of anonymous artists who turned public spaces into canvases of rebellion and expression. Cavalieri's keen eye for detail and his immersive approach have made him a vital archivist of this underground movement, bridging the gap between illicit art and mainstream recognition.
