Stephen Powers

Stephen Powers began creating art on the streets of his Overbrook, Philadelphia neighborhood when he was 16, under the tag ESPO (“Exterior Surface Painting Outreach”), and he has continued to make public, site-specific artworks ever since. Starting in 2000, he has worked as a studio artist and muralist, and created album artwork for renowned musicians such as Kurt Vile and JJ DOOM.

His new book, A Love Letter To The City, documents Stephen’s urban murals from all over the world, including cities such as Brooklyn and Syracuse, New York, Philadelphia; Dublin and Belfast, Ireland; São Paolo, Brazil and Johannesburg, South Africa. These murals are filled with Steve’s distinctive style and wry, warm humor.

Enjoy an evening that celebrates the unveiling of Stephen Powers’s new project at Strand, and the release of A Love Letter to The City! A night street art fans will not want to miss.
