The Los Angeles artists featured in Street Cred represent a broad range of genres and the exhibition also includes Steve Grody’s photographs documenting the origins of the graffiti scene, providing key insights into the visual “language” of graffiti, its development in Los Angeles, the ways in which the street informs the canvas, and how the two worlds interact.
