The L.A.-based political wheatpaster ABCNT recently visited San Francisco and put up these large, eye-catching pieces. The works are elegantly designed, but apart from being visually attractive they subtly provoke the viewer to think about social issues. The paste-up in the bottom photo is a tribute to Howard Zinn, the author of the influential book “A People’s History of the United States,” while the one in the top photo is a rallying cry for bike activists. In these times of social struggle, works like this resonate with the feelings of the community.
