Teren Alchemia

Teren Alchemia (“Field Alchemy”) is the first monograph of French artist Pablo Tomek. Tomek is best known for his post-graffiti approach to art-making; he often slightly alters found materials (tires, discarded mattresses, manholes) by painting, or tagging, them to draw attention to artful moments in public space. His mark-making is minimal but expressive, usually taking the form of thick scribbles of bold colors. Published by Classic Paris, the book also includes a French and English introduction to his practice, as well as documentation of several of his détournement on Parisian streets.
