Synopsis
Originating in the graffiti art of the 70s, urban painting has evolved to its current level of sophistication while retaining a vital connection to the streets. While most art movements were founded on manifestos and conceived as schools, Urban Painting evolved much like jazz and developed organically, a result of cultural miscegenation. Urban Painting is pushing the boundaries of Western culture while being born within it. NEXT follows several artists while on tour, in their studio and most importantly in the streets, documenting their work and live painting performances. The film reveals the artists' process, from the conceptualization phase to the creation of the work. A combination of vérité moments and interviews with painters, "writers", designers, documentarians and other participants within the subculture, the film conveys the dynamism and creative energy of this significant emerging artistic movement and important cultural phenomenon.
