Among them, the realm of street art or graffiti art stands tall, representing the voice of the marginalized, the unheard, and the unseen. The piece "Sidewalk Closed," a mixed media masterpiece crafted on a real metal street sign by the eminent Sonic Bad, encapsulates the raw energy and ethos of this genre. This artwork, produced in 2012, is a fine example of the amalgamation of traditional graffiti elements with modern pop art sensibilities. "Sidewalk Closed" showcases Sonic Bad's remarkable ability to capture the essence of a bygone era and infuse it with contemporary flair. The artwork measures 24x18 and is an original creation signed by the artist himself. It is crafted using spray paint on a metal street sign, an authentic representation of street art's roots. The choice of medium not only provides authenticity to the piece but also underlines the transient nature of graffiti art, often subject to the elements and the whims of urban development. Dominating the artwork are two intricately designed figures, reminiscent of the stylized beat boys from the 1970s and 80s. These characters exude a sense of rhythm, rebellion, and resilience, harking back to a time when street culture and hip-hop began to find their voice. They are set against a vibrant background of classic New York City graffiti tags, a nod to the birthplace of street art and its enduring influence. The inclusion of bubble letters, a hallmark of traditional graffiti, lends the piece an air of nostalgia, bridging the gap between past and present. The very title, "Sidewalk Closed," speaks volumes about the underlying themes of the artwork. It can be seen as a commentary on the ever-changing urban landscape, where spaces that once served as canvases for artists are increasingly becoming off-limits. It could also symbolize the challenges and barriers faced by street artists in their quest for expression. Sonic Bad, through this piece, might be highlighting the restrictions and boundaries imposed on creativity, urging viewers to look beyond the obvious and find meaning in the silenced spaces. Diving deeper into the artwork, one can sense a rhythmic flow, an almost musical quality to the composition. This is no coincidence, as the beat boys, with their dynamic postures and expressive faces, are emblematic of the close relationship between street art and hip-hop culture. They serve as a reminder of the origins of graffiti art, rooted in music, dance, and rebellion against societal norms. In the world of pop art, street art, and graffiti, "Sidewalk Closed" by Sonic Bad stands as a testament to the enduring power and relevance of the genre. It is a piece that invites viewers to delve into the rich history of street art, appreciate its evolution, and recognize its impact on contemporary culture. Through a masterful blend of traditional elements and modern techniques, Sonic Bad offers a fresh perspective on a classic art form, ensuring its legacy for generations to come.

The exhibition of over 40 new paintings and multiples explores the wondrous decay of social morality stemming from modern society’s obsession with pop culture and overindulgent materialism, and continues Meggs’ perpetual fascination with dualism and finding beauty in tragedy.“Detroit is a city of duality more so than many other cities I have been to. I sought to incorporate this by using objects and surfaces that imply decay, in what I consider to be a beautiful way. Old wooden materials and signs with layers of paint tell a story of their own. Although the colors and textures are aesthetically beautiful, I think it’s about giving these materials a new life, a second purpose.” - Meggs
