Lately, I have transitioned mostly into mixed media paintings, but I've been doing hardcore graffiti, if you want to call it that, for thirty-plus years. It's what made me Cope2. But I like to change it up and show all my different styles. So, with this show, I can show my style evolution and how I've progressed.

His 'Detroit Tag Series- 6' is a powerful original painting that combines the raw energy of aerosol art with the precision of Krink markers on canvas. This piece, created in 2010, is a testament to his versatility and evolution as an artist who has been influential in the scene for over three decades. The Evolutionary Path of Cope2's Artistry Cope2's journey as an artist has seen him transition from the streets of the Bronx, where he earned his stripes as a graffiti writer, to the galleries that now house his canvas work. 'Detroit Tag Series- 6' reflects this journey, showcasing a mature style without losing the spontaneity and vigor of his early work. The piece, with dimensions of 20 x 12 x 1.5 inches, is a singular expression within a limited run, emphasizing Cope2's commitment to creating unique works that are personal and reflect his roots in street culture. Cope2 captures the essence of Detroit's urban landscape in this series through his iconic tag style. The bold, sweeping curves and sharp lines rendered in black against a striking red background indicate his confident hand, honed by years of practice. The use of Krink markers, known for their vibrant ink and durability, allows Cope2 to bring the immediacy and authenticity of street tagging to the canvas. Cope2's 'Versatile' Exhibition: A Display of Artistic Range The 'Detroit Tag Series- 6' was a highlight of Cope2's exhibition titled 'Versatile,' which showcased the breadth of his artistic repertoire. In his own words, the show was an opportunity to present the evolution of his style and his progression as an artist. Cope2's ability to navigate between the street and the studio, to exhibit the rawness of graffiti alongside the refinement of mixed media paintings, speaks to his adaptive approach to art-making. His work not only captures the essence of street pop art but also pushes its boundaries, inviting viewers to experience the dynamic nature of graffiti in new contexts. The exhibition was a narrative of growth, a visual documentation of Cope2's transition from street legend to a respected figure in contemporary art. 'Detroit Tag Series- 6' stands as a proud testament to the original spirit of street art while signaling Cope2's ongoing exploration of form, color, and medium. The Enduring Legacy of Cope2 in Street Art Cope2's impact on street pop art and graffiti artwork is indelible. 'Detroit Tag Series- 6' is a canvas and a chronicle of an artist's life-long dedication to his craft. Through this work and others like it, Cope2 demonstrates that graffiti is not a static art form but a living, evolving practice that continues to challenge and redefine artistic expression.
