Paint to Pixel allows marginalised artists to share their own story. It is one that crosses seamlessly between large scale public artworks and the illegal roots of the culture.
Because of the nature of their work many artists have chosen not to be named, but each has made a valuable contribution to this exhibition and the wider street art scene.
