Graffiti/Street Art - sometimes beautiful, sometimes ugly, but one thing is certain: they're breathtaking in their skill of execution. Collected here are 256 pages of the best photographed from around the world by RomanyWG.
Beauty in Decay II carries on where RomanyWG's left off in his previous volume with full-color, panoramic photographs from urban exploration or Urbex locations around the world. Overgrown industrial complexes, disused lunatic asylums, abandoned palaces and forgotten monasteries are showcased, and paired with clear-sighted, poetic text.
Focusing on those emerging contemporary artists who are working at the cutting edge of image creativity today. Images featuring portraiture, landscape, digital manipulation, social realism, conceptual art, photorealism and digital photo montage.
Take nothing but photographs, leave nothing but footprints. This is the unspoken rule of urban explorers, who sometimes risk their safety, police records, and even their lives to explore abandoned buildings, sewers and storm drains, transit tunnels, utility tunnels, high-security areas of inhabited buildings.
Not all art craves attention, some of it hides in the secret places. Some of it is buried treasure, out in the urban wilderness, left scattered in empty rooms of derelict buildings like strange markings left by an unknown tribe.
