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.

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 said from his studio in New York. -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.

No Obey/WK Revolution Girl Prints Were Numbered in This Edition, and Half of WK Did not Sign; Both Artists Signed This Artwork. Small Crease to the Lower Right Facing Corner.  "Revolution Girl" is a compelling collaboration between Shepard Fairey, the founder of OBEY, and WK Interact, an artist known for his dynamic street art. This one-color silkscreen print, produced in 2007, exemplifies a confluence of two distinctive styles that have shaped the visual vocabulary of street art and pop culture. Measuring 18x24 inches and printed on Speckletone fine art paper, the piece is part of a limited edition series with only 250. Significantly, this print is dual-signed by both artists, a rarity given that not all prints from this series were signed by WK Interact, and none were numbered, adding a layer of exclusivity to this artwork. The image is a stark, high-contrast depiction that conveys a sense of urgency and defiance, characteristic of Fairey's work, blended with the kinetic energy of WK Interact's approach to street art. The piece features a figure that is an assertive and revolutionary instance, capturing the ethos of protest and empowerment. This artwork speaks to the heart of street art’s purpose—to challenge norms and inspire change through visual disruption. The presence of a small crease on the lower right-facing corner of the print is a testament to its journey and authenticity, a nod to the often impermanent and rugged life of street art. By merging their distinct artistic signatures, Fairey and WK Interact create a narrative that is both a political and aesthetic statement, resonating with the core of pop art’s intent to blur the boundaries between 'high' art and 'low' culture. "Revolution Girl" stands not just as a work of art but as a cultural artifact that encapsulates the spirit of its era, where art became a loudspeaker for social and political discourse. This print is a testament to the influence of street art in the contemporary art scene, marking its evolution from the fringes to a recognized and vital form of artistic expression that engages public consciousness.

Train & Subway

Subway and Train Graffiti: The Movement of Underground Art

Subway and train systems have long served as the backdrop for an art movement that is as transient as it is permanent. In the tumultuous urban landscapes of the 1960s and 1970s, particularly in New York City, the subway became the pulsating artery through which the lifeblood of graffiti art flowed. This movement was not merely about the artistry of lettering or the boldness of color; it was a social statement, a form of communication, and a voice for the voiceless. The trains became moving galleries, exhibiting the work of marginalized communities to a citywide audience. The early graffiti artists who began this movement were pioneers, not just in technique but in transforming public perception of what art could be. Their canvases were the sides of subway cars, the platforms, and the stations themselves. These artists took the concept of street pop art and graffiti artwork and propelled it into a global phenomenon, using the subway system as a catalyst for their expressions.

Evolution of Train Graffiti: From Subway Tags to Freight Murals

The graffiti on trains started as simple tags, a way for individuals to mark their presence in a city that often felt indifferent to their existence. But as time progressed, these tags evolved into intricate art pieces, with artists spending hours, sometimes days, creating elaborate murals on the sides of train cars. The graffiti movement of the trains tells a story of not just artistic evolution but of the socio-economic conditions that fostered the need for such expressions. The move from subway to freight train graffiti marked a significant shift in the landscape of street art. As the crackdown on subway graffiti became more aggressive, artists migrated to the expansive canvases provided by freight trains. These trains carried the messages and the art across the country, from the East Coast to the West, spreading the ethos of the street art movement far and wide.

Freight Trains: A New Frontier for Graffiti Art

Freight train graffiti became a culture within a culture, with some artists dedicating their entire work to these mobile canvases. The freight train movement encapsulated the spirit of rebellion and freedom central to street art. Each car offered a fresh start, a new journey, and an opportunity to connect with a different audience. This movement wasn't just about disseminating art; it was about sharing an experience and a message with a community much more significant than any city could hold. This form of street pop art and graffiti artwork has not only endured but has flourished. Today, train graffiti is recognized as an integral part of the history of street art. It is a testament to the creativity and resilience of artists who use their surroundings to reflect their realities, challenge societal norms, and engage with a broader public dialogue. The marks made by these artists are not just on the metal surfaces of trains but in the annals of art history, forever linked to the cultural narrative of the cities they adorn.

Cultural Impact of Train and Subway Art

The cultural impact of train and subway graffiti is immeasurable. It has influenced fashion, music, literature, and even the language of the streets. It has also played a role in the gentrification of urban areas, paradoxically both a symbol of urban decay and a marker of trendy urban living. The duality of train graffiti as both an act of vandalism and a work of art continues to spark debate, challenging our notions of public space and the ownership of art. In conclusion, the world of train and subway graffiti is a complex one, rich with history, controversy, and artistry. It is a world that has given rise to some of the most iconic works of street art and has served as a breeding ground for artists who have become legends. As the trains continue to roll, so does the ever-evolving story of street pop art and graffiti artwork.
