London based artist Dave the Chimp was one of the first street artists
who ventured outside to paint using brushes and acrylic paint. Dave has
been extremely prolific in the streets and in galleries and since 1996
has been designing skateboards for German Skateboard label Hessenmob.
His original style and bold black lines, all hand-painted, are full of
humor and often punctuated with lighthearted social commentary. He has
painted anti-smoking and get out the vote posters and is often referred
to as a & positive graffiti artist. Many see him as someone just
trying to bring a smile to his neighbors faces and some beauty to his
run down neighborhood. This is the second publication in the Rebellion
Series of monographs that focus on artists featured in the
groundbreaking titles Art of Rebellion and Art of Rebellion 2, first
published in 2004.
