Lines In The Slipstream #14 Original One of a Kind Marker Ink Drawing Artwork on Watercolor Fine Art Paper by Popular Street Art Pop Culture Artist JM Rizzi. 2022 Signed Original Marker Ink Painting Size 18x24 “Ours are tense times. Eyes closed, I surrender to the slipstream, skate the wake of an energetic flow that never stops. This series of works on paper marks a more sophisticated experiment with abstract motifs. The aluminum of an airplane and regal gold all ripple and tangle like eddies punctuated by crimson. The final act—amalgamating metallic hues with wiry black lines that interrogate the delineation between positive and negative space. Visually interpreting the tacit sensation of human history’s everlasting propulsion.” –JM Rizzi

Thoughtcrime Ant Limited Edition Hand-Painted Embellished Paint, Stencil, Acrylic on Wood by Bask Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "These pieces are a continuation of my Thoughtcrime series. The Ant image is painted on a series of weathered panels. This set was completed within the past month. It’s hard to say how long they took to create because salvaging the panels from a variety of places over a long time is just as much of a part the art as laying down the paint on top of them. Each piece has it’s own history embedded onto itself.Each piece is hand crafted and each panel has been painted and processed by me. I like the idea of small production works that let people get a original piece of art for the cost of some prints these days.I have been saving these panels for a while and finally it was time to cut them down and make some art out of them. Paintings of the same stenciled image but each looking 100% original to itself. Each piece has it’s own distinct character and personality while keeping the repetition of the Thoughtcrime." - BASK

War By Numbers VSE- OG Colorway Variable Stencil Edition Acrylic Artwork on Hand Deckled Fine Art Paper by Street Artists Shepard Fairey x Ernesto Yerena Montejano x Hecho Con Ganas x Obey. 2022 War By Numbers VSE- OG Colorway 20x26.5 inches. Signed & Numbered Ultra Rare Edition of 14. Variable Stencil Edition (VSE) on Paper. Signed by Shepard Fairey, Hecho Con Ganas publishing chop in the lower-left corner. "Created during the Iraq war, but the quest for peace requires perpetual vigilance, and the current invasion of Ukraine is a reminder of the brutality of war. The “War By Numbers” image is a statement about not becoming desensitized by war to the extent that it becomes as banal as a paint-by-numbers image. The “Peace Elephant” is an appeal to our sense of Karma and harmony with the world around us." - Shepard Fairey A profound intersection of artistry and activism emerges in "War By Numbers VSE- OG Colorway," an emblematic piece presented by the collaborative brilliance of Shepard Fairey, Ernesto Yerena Montejano, Hecho Con Ganas, and Obey. Showcased on meticulously hand-deckled fine art paper, this 20x26.5 inch artwork not only exemplifies the prowess of its creators but also delves deeply into the social and political fabric of contemporary global scenarios. Dated 2022, this piece holds the distinction of being an ultra-rare Variable Stencil Edition (VSE) on paper, with only 14 such editions in existence, each one thoughtfully signed and numbered. Notably, the presence of the Hecho Con Ganas publishing chop in the lower-left corner augments its authenticity and intrinsic value. While the artwork itself is a marvel of color interplay and design, its underlying message is both timeless and urgent. Shepard Fairey's own words elucidate the motivation behind its creation, highlighting its inception during the Iraq war. Yet, its resonance extends beyond that particular conflict. The piece emerges as an enduring reminder of the costs of warfare, particularly with the poignant backdrop of the recent Ukraine invasion. Fairey astutely draws attention to the dangers of becoming inured to the horrors of conflict, suggesting that society must never allow war's devastation to become as commonplace and mundane as a paint-by-numbers image. This sentiment is further emphasized by the inclusion of the "Peace Elephant," symbolizing the universal aspiration for harmony and an appeal to humanity's collective conscience. In the vast realm of pop art, street art, and graffiti, "War By Numbers" stands as a testament to art's ability to transcend aesthetic appeal, challenging viewers to confront and engage with the world's most pressing issues.

Thriller Original Painting Acrylic, House Paint & Aerosol on Cradled Wood by Shark Toof Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2015 Signed Orignal Spray Paint Mixed Media Painting Artwork Size 24x36 The Artistic Fusion of Shark Toof's 'Thriller' "Thriller," an original painting by Shark Toof, is a dynamic foray into graffiti street art and modern pop art. Crafted in 2015, this mixed media artwork—acrylic, house paint, and aerosol on cradled wood—displays Shark Toof's signature blend of street influence and acceptable art discipline. The piece, measuring 24x36 inches, is signed by the artist, providing authenticity to this vibrant representation of his multifaceted style. Shark Toof, recognized for his powerful visual statements in the street art community, brings his graffiti roots to the forefront in this piece. His work is not confined to the traditional expectations of pop art; instead, it ventures into a realm where iconoclasm meets iconography. In "Thriller," the influence of street art is palpable, with the raw energy of graffiti translating into a structured yet spirited composition on wood. Shark Toof's approach to his work reflects a conscious decision to merge his established voice with a playful irreverence, challenging the viewer to consider the icons of our time and their mutable significance. The artwork encapsulates Shark Toof's philosophy that art should not always be taken too seriously, suggesting that there is power in subverting one's creations. This notion of 'vandalizing' one's icons is a commentary on the impermanence of fame and the fluidity of cultural symbols in our society. This blend of introspection and external commentary positions "Thriller" within a unique space in contemporary art. Shark Toof and the Do-It-Yourself Ethos of Street Art Shark Toof's preference for Detroit as a backdrop for his creative process tells of his affinity for the do-it-yourself, or DIY, ethos often associated with street art. His connection to the city, known for its prosperous industry and innovation history, mirrors his artistic journey. In Detroit, a city that has experienced grandeur and grit, Shark Toof finds a kindred spirit—a landscape that is both a canvas and a catalyst for creativity. "Thriller" embodies this DIY spirit not only in its creation but also in its presentation. Using cradled wood as a substrate is a nod to the makeshift surfaces often employed in street art, where any space or material can become the foundation for expression. Shark Toof's choice of materials—house paint and aerosol—further echoes the vernacular of street art, where the medium's immediacy matches the message's urgency. Shark Toof's "Thriller" celebrates the evolving narrative of street pop art and graffiti artwork. His work is a testament to street art's power to transcend its urban origins and find resonance in a gallery setting. Through his bold use of color, form, and medium, Shark Toof continues challenging and redefining what it means to be a street artist in the contemporary art world. His work is a dialogue with the viewer, an invitation to explore the deeper meanings behind the images we see and the icons we create.

Non-Volley Zone II Original Acrylic Painting by Dave Pollot One-of-a-kind Artwork on Vintage Canvas Framed by Street Art Pop Artist. 2022 Signed Acrylic on Original Pickleball Paddle Reclaimed Vintage Painting Size 23x18 Including Frame. Framed Ready To Hang In a unique blend of classical artistry and contemporary wit, "Non-Volley Zone II" emerges as a prime example of Dave Pollot's vision, where vintage aesthetics meet modern narratives. This original acrylic painting showcases Pollot's signature style of repurposing thrift art, introducing unexpected modern elements to otherwise traditional canvases. Created in 2022, this work features a charming still life that has been playfully disrupted by the addition of a pickleball paddle, a modern sports reference that Pollot has cleverly incorporated into the scene. At the heart of this piece is Pollot's mastery in combining two seemingly disparate worlds. The artist breathes new life into a reclaimed vintage painting by juxtaposing the timeless beauty of a floral arrangement with the unexpected intrusion of a pickleball paddle lying at the forefront, symbolizing perhaps the collision of past and present or the intrusion of the contemporary into the serene stillness of history. The playful inclusion of the paddle is a nod to his keen eye for pop culture references, making the artwork resonate with a sense of humor and relevance. The canvas size, at a notable 23x18 inches framed, allows viewers to immerse themselves in the textural contrasts and vivid colors that Pollot masterfully preserves and enhances. His work is not merely about altering the old. Still, it is a dialogue between the original artist and himself, creating a layered narrative where every brushstroke is a word in a story that spans generations. "Non-Volley Zone II" is more than just an acrylic painting; it is a one-of-a-kind artwork that showcases Pollot's ability to transform forgotten pieces of art into contemporary conversations. This framed piece, ready to hang, carries the hallmark of Pollot's ingenuity and serves as a testament to the evolving nature of art. Through such pieces, Pollot establishes himself not just within the realm of street and pop art but also as a custodian of the past, repurposing it to speak to the present.

Painting of a Nude Blond Woman Highly Stylized with Arms Holding Hair Up Behind Her Head. Exploring the Expressive Vivacity in Peter Keil's "Nude Blonde Woman 93" "Nude Blonde Woman 93" is a striking original oil-on-cloth painting by Peter Keil, renowned as The Wild Man of Berlin for his expressive and dynamic artistry. This 1993 piece, signed and dated by the artist, presents an unorthodox canvas, a 3D-raised, hand-sewn custom-made panel that adds a unique tactile dimension to the artwork. The size of the original piece, measuring 24x30 inches, offers a generous view of Keil's raw and uninhibited portrayal of the human form. Here, Keil captures the essence of a nude blonde woman, highly stylized and in a pose that exudes both strength and fluidity, her arms elegantly lifting her hair behind her head. Peter Keil's approach to painting is characterized by his vigorous application of thick paint, a technique that contributes to his work's textural richness and depth. Over time, some of Keil's art may show signs of paint flaking, a natural occurrence that reflects the passage of time and the organic qualities of the materials he engages with. These perceived imperfections are, in fact, integral to the artwork's character, embodying the very nature of Keil's spontaneous and emotional creative process. Reimagining Figurative Art Through the Lens of Street Pop and Graffiti In "Nude Blonde Woman 93," Keil reimagines figurative art with an aesthetic that intersects with the spontaneity and audacity often found in street pop art and graffiti. Keil's bold use of color and form aligns with the visual language of these movements, which are not confined by the traditional boundaries of fine art. His depictions go beyond mere representation to evoke emotional states and narratives reminiscent of the impactful imagery that characterizes street art and graffiti. The artwork serves as a visual experience and a physical one, with the raised canvas inviting viewers to engage with the painting beyond the pictorial plane. This method of presentation is emblematic of Keil's desire to push the limits of conventional art display and to create a more immersive experience for the observer. Collecting a piece like "Nude Blonde Woman 93" is akin to owning a moment in the vibrant history of contemporary art. Keil's paintings are highly sought after for their expressive power and their place within the narrative of art's evolution, particularly in the context of street pop art and graffiti. His works testify to an artist's capacity to capture the complexity of human expression through bold strokes and a fearless approach to color. Peter Keil's original oil painting "Nude Blonde Woman 93" celebrates human form and expression, encapsulating the uninhibited spirit of street pop art and graffiti within the framework of fine art. Keil's work continues to inspire and challenge, securing his reputation as a significant contemporary artist who captures the zeitgeist of his era through each vivid brushstroke.

Diaspora Tolu Original Painting Enamel and Acrylic on Plexiglass by Askew One Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2015 Signed Original Painting Artwork Size 20x14 Custom Framed "Back in April/May of 2014, I spent around 6 weeks based in Los Angeles making these paintings for my solo show at Known Gallery. I was living and working above the TSL store, trying my best to make enough work to fill the space which was a pretty daunting task. The pieces themselves are a combination of head portraits painted in what I would say are my signature style and then also a series of smaller abstract works that signify the idea of migration through the Pacific, both in a historic and recent sense. The model for the portraits was my friend Sereima aka Stelly, who’s Sydney-based and of Fijian descent. To me, she really represents the changing face of the Pacific in many ways. Following on from a really successful show in Sydney, ‘The Evolving Face’ I wanted to move away from the mugshot poses of the previous body and bring more attitude and exuberance and Sereima was perfect because she is the absolute embodiment of those things." - Askew One Diaspora Tolu Original Painting by Askew One Diaspora Tolu is a vibrant and thought-provoking 2015 original painting by renowned graffiti and Street Pop Art artist Askew One. Crafted with enamel and acrylic on plexiglass, this piece forms part of Askew One’s iconic exploration of migration and identity within the Pacific region. Measuring 20x14 and custom framed, the painting combines bold abstraction with dynamic patterns and rich symbolism. Signed by the artist, Diaspora Tolu stands as a testament to Askew One’s innovative approach to modern pop art, blending cultural narrative with cutting-edge artistic techniques. The Inspiration Behind Diaspora Tolu Diaspora Tolu was created during Askew One’s six-week residency in Los Angeles in preparation for his solo show at Known Gallery. This pivotal series explored themes of migration, transformation, and cultural identity, blending head portraits with smaller abstract works to convey the complexities of Pacific diaspora. Diaspora Tolu, as part of the abstract collection, signifies the movement of people, culture, and ideas across oceans and generations. The series draws inspiration from Sereima, a Sydney-based model of Fijian descent, who represents the evolving face of the Pacific. Askew One sought to move beyond traditional portraiture and infuse his work with energy and exuberance, which is reflected in the swirling lines, dynamic shapes, and vivid color palette of Diaspora Tolu. This piece captures the rhythm and motion of migration, embodying both historical journeys and contemporary cultural exchanges. Artistic Techniques in Diaspora Tolu Diaspora Tolu exemplifies Askew One’s mastery of combining graffiti-inspired techniques with sophisticated artistic methodologies. The use of enamel and acrylic on plexiglass creates a luminous, glossy surface that enhances the vibrancy of the colors. Bold strokes of pink, green, and blue intersect with precise geometric patterns, creating a sense of movement and energy. The circular composition within the work emphasizes continuity and connection, drawing viewers into its layered narrative. The artist’s graffiti roots are evident in the dynamic linework and spontaneous energy of the piece, while the meticulous execution demonstrates his dedication to craftsmanship. The integration of abstract forms and vibrant hues transforms this work into a visual metaphor for the complexity of identity and the richness of cultural exchange. Diaspora Tolu bridges the gap between urban art and fine art, making it an exemplary piece of Street Pop Art. The Significance of Diaspora Tolu Diaspora Tolu is a powerful representation of Askew One’s ability to use art as a medium for storytelling and cultural dialogue. The work captures the fluidity of identity in a world shaped by migration, celebrating the interconnectedness of the Pacific’s diverse cultures. Its vibrant colors and abstract design speak to both the challenges and beauty of movement and transformation. As part of a larger body of work created during a transformative period in Askew One’s career, Diaspora Tolu highlights the artist’s innovative approach to graffiti and Street Pop Art. It embodies the essence of his artistic vision: a commitment to elevating urban art into the realm of cultural and social commentary. For collectors and admirers of contemporary art, Diaspora Tolu is not just a striking visual piece but also a meaningful exploration of heritage, identity, and global connection.

Multi Tags Series 8609 Original Graffiti Painting by Seen UA One of a Kind Spray Paint & Acrylic Painting Artwork on Unstretched Canvas. 2023 Signed Original Multi Tags Series Acrylic & Spray Paint Painting Size 20x34 Multi Tags Series 8609: Original Graffiti Painting by Seen UA Multi Tags Series 8609 is a 2023 original painting by the graffiti artist Seen UA. Known as one of the pioneers of graffiti culture, Seen UA, born Richard Mirando, gained notoriety for his work on subway trains and urban landscapes during the early days of the graffiti movement in the 1970s. This piece is part of his ongoing Multi Tags Series, a collection that explores the expressive power of tagging in its raw, repetitive form. Measuring 20x34 inches, the artwork is crafted using acrylic paint and spray paint on unstretched canvas, emphasizing the street art origins of Seen’s work. The Art of Tagging in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Culture Tagging is one of the most fundamental elements of graffiti culture. A tag, typically a stylized signature or name, is the artist’s mark left on a surface, often as a form of identity or declaration of presence. In street pop art, tagging transcends its initial association with urban vandalism and becomes a form of visual expression and artistry. UA’s Multi Tags Series, 8609, captures this ethos, presenting a wall of repeated tags layered over one another rhythmically and chaotically. The repetition of tags in the series can be seen as both an assertion of identity and a commentary on the nature of urban life. The layering of tags, with overlapping colors and textures, mirrors the layering of voices, identities, and experiences in the urban environment. This dense field of repeated tags evokes the sensation of walking through a city covered in graffiti, where each tag competes for attention while simultaneously blending into the collective hum of the urban landscape. UA’s use of color in Multi Tags Series 8609 further enhances this effect. The painting is dominated by a palette of blues, grays, and whites, with each tag applied in quick, gestural strokes. The color variations suggest a gradient effect, where the tags seem to move in and out of focus, creating a sense of depth and movement. This visual layering invites the viewer to engage with the piece as a whole and on a more detailed, individual level, much like how street art is experienced in public spaces. Graffiti as an Artistic Language UA’s career has been defined by his ability to elevate graffiti from its underground roots into the wider art world. In the early days of graffiti, tags were often seen as acts of rebellion or defiance, expressions of a counterculture that rejected the norms of mainstream society. However, artists like Seen have demonstrated that tagging can also be a sophisticated form of visual language. Multi Tags Series 8609 exemplifies this idea, using tags as markers of identity and tools for creating intricate compositions. In this piece, Seen UA employs acrylic and spray paint, two mediums central to graffiti culture. Combining these materials allows for a range of textures and effects, from the smooth, controlled lines of the acrylic to the more spontaneous, unpredictable bursts of spray paint. The contrast between the two mediums reflects the tension between control and chaos often present in street art. The acrylic tags are precise and deliberate, while the spray paint adds an element of raw energy, evoking the feeling of graffiti created quickly in public spaces. The unstretched canvas in Multi Tags Series 8609 further connects the work to its graffiti roots. Unlike traditional gallery paintings, which are typically stretched and framed, the unstretched canvas recalls graffiti's impermanent, transient nature. Graffiti is often created on surfaces subject to weathering, removal, or destruction, and by choosing an unstretched canvas, Seen UA embraces this sense of impermanence. Much like the graffiti tags it depicts, the artwork feels as though it could be rolled up, moved, or even erased, underscoring the temporary and ever-changing nature of street art. Seen UA: A Legacy of Graffiti and Street Pop Art UA’s influence on the graffiti movement cannot be overstated. Often referred to as the “Godfather of Graffiti,” his work has been a cornerstone of the street art scene for decades. Starting as a young artist tagging subway cars in New York City, Seen UA helped shape the visual language of graffiti, bringing it from the streets into galleries and museums worldwide. His transition from illegal tagging on subway trains to producing fine art pieces like Multi Tags Series 8609 reflects the evolution of graffiti as an art form. Despite his success in the art world, Seen UA has always remained true to the ethos of graffiti culture. His Multi Tags Series continues to celebrate street art's raw energy and rebellious spirit, even as it is displayed in more formal settings. By repeating his tags repeatedly in this series, Seen UA reminds viewers of the persistence and resilience of graffiti culture. Tags are often removed, painted over, or buffed out by city authorities, but graffiti artists continue to create, leaving their marks wherever possible. In this sense, Multi Tags Series 8609 can be seen as a celebration of the enduring nature of graffiti and the artists who create it. The Visual Power of Repetition One of the most striking aspects of Multi Tags Series 8609 is its use of repetition as a visual device. Repetition is a powerful tool in street pop art, where the constant reiteration of symbols, images, and motifs helps to reinforce their meaning. In this piece, Seen UA’s repeated tags create a hypnotic pattern that draws the viewer’s eye across the canvas. Each tag is distinct and part of a larger whole, creating a sense of unity within the chaos. The repeated tags also evoke the act of tagging itself, which is often done in quick, repetitive motions. This physicality is reflected in the gestural quality of the tags, which appear to have been applied rapidly, with energy and urgency. The viewer can almost imagine the artist’s hand moving across the canvas, repeating the same mark repeatedly to leave a lasting impression. Multi Tags Series 8609 is a testament to Seen UA’s mastery of graffiti as a visual language and artistic expression. Using repetition, color, and texture, Seen UA creates a dynamic, engaging work that captures the essence of graffiti culture while pushing the boundaries of what street pop art can be.

It feels right to introduce it with this series as well.The can popping process always produces a unique pattern inside the can because as the marble moves around inside it leaves its tracks on the wet paint. Each flower is cut by hand and no two flowers are exactly alike. Each one is completely unique. And every box we shipped had a custom paint job." - Canlove

The painting's scene is a carnival of motifs that engage with themes of identity, celebration, and the undercurrents of social commentary, inviting viewers into a dialogue with the piece that goes beyond its surface beauty.

Serge Gay Jr.'s work is situated at the heart of this cultural shift, using the canvas to explore and explode the conventions of what fine art can be. This original piece by Gay not only exemplifies his skill as a painter but also his insight as a cultural commentator.

Graffiti Is A Crime 12x18- I Original Mixed Media Painting graffiti artist modern pop art on Real Metal Street Sign by Cope2. 2020 Signed Original Spray Paint Painting Bubble Letter on Real Metal Street Sign Artwork Size 12x18. Graffiti Is A Crime Sign. Graffiti as a Form of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork Graffiti, often perceived as a rebellious or illegal act, has gradually evolved into a recognized form of art, gaining substantial attention in the realm of modern pop and street art. This transformation is vividly exemplified by the work of renowned graffiti artist Cope2. His piece titled "Graffiti Is A Crime 12x18-I Original Mixed Media Painting" is a striking representation of this evolution. Created in 2020, this artwork is not just a mere expression of street culture but a significant icon in the graffiti art world. It stands out as a signed original spray paint painting, featuring bubble letters on a real metal street sign. Measuring 12x18 inches, this piece encapsulates the essence of street pop art and graffiti artwork, blending the raw energy of street art with the sophistication of modern pop art. The choice of a real metal street sign as the canvas for this artwork speaks volumes about the artist's intention to blur the lines between what is considered legal and illegal, art and vandalism. By transforming a symbol of authority and regulation, a street sign, into a piece of art, Cope2 challenges the conventional perceptions of graffiti. This act of repurposing a street sign, an object typically associated with law and order, into a canvas for graffiti, traditionally viewed as a form of rebellion, creates a powerful contrast and commentary on the societal views of art and expression. The Cultural Significance of Graffiti in Modern Art The artwork "Graffiti Is A Crime" is not just a physical piece of art; it's a statement about the cultural and societal impact of graffiti. Historically, graffiti has been associated with underground movements, often being a tool for the voiceless to express their opinions and emotions. However, as seen through the works of artists like Cope2, graffiti has transcended these boundaries, finding its way into the world of high art and becoming a celebrated form of creative expression. This metamorphosis of graffiti from vandalism to a respected art form is significant in understanding the dynamics of modern art. It reflects the evolving attitudes towards what constitutes art and who gets to define it. By incorporating elements of pop culture, graffiti artists have brought a new dimension to the art world, one that resonates with a broader audience and reflects contemporary societal themes. This shift has not only given graffiti artists like Cope2 a platform to showcase their talent but has also prompted a reevaluation of street art's role in the broader context of art history. Impact on the Perception of Street Art and Graffiti The significance of "Graffiti Is A Crime" and similar works in the context of street pop art and graffiti artwork lies in their ability to challenge and redefine the boundaries of traditional art. These pieces are not just expressions of individual creativity but are also powerful tools for social commentary. They represent a form of artistic democracy, where the street becomes a gallery, accessible to all, and not just the elite few. This democratization of art through graffiti challenges traditional art paradigms and encourages a more inclusive understanding of what art can be. Moreover, the increasing acceptance and celebration of graffiti art in galleries and art exhibitions signify a cultural shift. It represents a growing recognition of the artistic value and social commentary embedded in these works. The journey of graffiti from the streets to the galleries is a testament to the changing perceptions of what is considered legitimate art. It highlights the importance of context, medium, and message in the world of art, proving that creativity knows no bounds and that art can emerge from the most unexpected places. The artwork "Graffiti Is A Crime" by Cope2 is a pivotal piece in the narrative of street pop art and graffiti artwork. It encapsulates the essence of graffiti's journey from the fringes to the forefront of modern art. This piece is not just a representation of artistic skill but a symbol of cultural evolution, challenging perceptions, and redefining the boundaries of art.

Double-Sided Exit Sign Art Mixed Media on MTA Signage Painting Artwork by street pop culture artist Cope2. Born in 1968 as Fernando Carlo, Jr. in New York City. Cope 2’s paintings have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums throughout the United States and internationally. He is a self-taught artist who is a celebrated legend contributing over 30 years to the graffiti street-art culture. One of New York City’s most prolific graffiti artists, he began tagging his name in the South Bronx in 1978. He developed his style in the subways and streets of the Bronx creating graffiti productions throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s achieving international recognition for his distinctive style. The beginning of the new millennium found Cope2 in a different place in his career, as he started focusing more and more on ways to establish himself in the art scene of galleries and museums. Even though the artist had started working on canvas much earlier than the 2000s, it was then that he made this dynamic twist and agreed to exhibit indoors systematically. Whether you see graffiti as an expressive and lively form of art or as a form of irresponsible vandalism, one thing is certain; in recent years it has captured the attention of the general population to the world’s biggest galleries.
