Stencils have been used for centuries as a form of early artistic expression and more recently as a tool for creating the signs that permeate our urban landscapes.
Today, there has been a resurgence of stencils as a form of counterculture communication…Battling against the pervasiveness of billboards, neon signs, and LED displays, stencils, along with graffiti, have been utilized by artists as a medium for expressing the views of street culture and the unrepresented masses. Unlike graffiti, stencils have had a tendency to express a collective message that many can relate to, rather than the raw self expression often associated with tagging.
