Markers have played an important role in both graffiti art and pop art as a medium for creating artwork. In graffiti art, markers are often used for tagging or writing on surfaces in public spaces. Tagging involves writing one's name or a personal symbol in a stylized way to create a unique visual signature. Graffiti artists may also use markers to create larger pieces that incorporate lettering, characters, and other elements. Markers are a popular medium in graffiti art because they are portable, easy to use, and can produce bold and vibrant colors. They also allow artists to work quickly and efficiently, which is important in a culture where creating art in public spaces can be risky. In pop art, markers are often used as a tool for creating cartoons, caricatures, and other types of illustrations. Pop art emerged in the 1950s and 1960s as a response to the commercialization of mass media and consumer culture. Artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein used markers to create bold, graphic images that reflected the imagery of popular culture. Markers were particularly well-suited to pop art because they could produce clean, precise lines and bright, flat colors. They also allowed artists to work quickly and produce multiple copies of an image, which was important in the context of mass media and advertising. In both graffiti art and pop art, markers have been used to create bold, eye-catching images that reflect the cultural and social contexts of their time. They continue to be a popular medium for artists who want to create work that is accessible, expressive, and impactful.

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 me, I like to change it up and show all my different styles. So with this show, I’m able to show my evolution of style and how I’ve progressed. “Versatile” shows where I came from and what I’m doing now,” -Cope2 During the mid-1990s Cope2 started slowly transitioning from the streets to the art scene of the galleries. At that time, street art was not as popular as it is in our days and the general public’s idea of it was still inextricably connected to ghettos, drug dealing, etc. The artist has never hidden his troubling past and avoids idealizing it, as a way to enhance his career and artistic persona. On the contrary, he mentions the following: “Oh man, there’s nothing to be proud of in hustling, but I had my first child at the age of 16, my son. So I had to make money to support him and his mother.
