Water Fall Brick Wall by BG183 of Tats Cru – Original Spray Paint Artwork in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork
Water Fall Brick Wall is a 2017 original spray paint painting on a 12 x 12 inch gallery wrapped canvas by BG183, a founding member of the legendary graffiti collective Tats Cru. This one-of-a-kind piece is a visual embodiment of New York’s graffiti legacy, blending illustrative mastery with the texture and iconography of urban decay. The title references both a literal cascade of water and the rhythmic flow of paint across a weathered surface, evoking the layered history of graffiti walls where years of tags, buff marks, and new burners converge into visual sediment. BG183 channels that history through a meticulously controlled aerosol technique, using soft gradients, bold shapes, and textured overlays to mimic the depth and permanence of a brick wall weathered by time, spray, and spirit.
BG183 and the Tats Cru Tradition
As one of the core members of Tats Cru, BG183 has played a key role in redefining what graffiti can be both on the street and in gallery spaces. Known for his technical range, from wildstyle burners to hyper-detailed characters, BG183’s work always maintains the energy of the street even when translated to canvas. Water Fall Brick Wall reflects that ability to carry raw graffiti aesthetics into the language of fine art without diluting its power. The composition is bold and balanced, structured with layers that feel both spontaneous and composed, a characteristic mark of a writer with decades of experience navigating walls, trains, and community murals. Tats Cru’s influence on hip hop visual culture, public art, and muralism flows directly into this piece, grounding it in authenticity and authority.
Spray Paint Texture and Surface Depth
The surface of Water Fall Brick Wall is alive with texture—misty edges, hardline fades, and drip formations that simulate the stratification of layered graffiti over time. BG183 uses the canvas not as a flat background but as a sculptural element, giving visual weight to each spray layer. The color palette leans into cool blues and warm earth tones, referencing water movement against brick decay, while still maintaining vibrancy. The edges of the piece echo the softness of aerosol dispersal, blending into the gallery-wrapped sides in a way that allows the work to exist without a frame. This ready-to-hang presentation reinforces the idea of street art entering fine art space without losing its connection to outdoor surfaces and uncurated expression.
Urban Energy in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork
Water Fall Brick Wall stands as a concentrated burst of graffiti’s raw language reassembled for interior contemplation. It is a homage to the layers of city infrastructure—walls that hold names, messages, and identities built up over time. BG183 does not attempt to replicate graffiti; he reinterprets its essence, offering a piece that is both a portrait of a wall and a standalone visual narrative. In the broader conversation of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, this painting represents the bridge between street-coded authenticity and studio execution. It holds graffiti’s visual rhythm, spatial awareness, and cultural reverence in every layer of paint and in every inch of surface tension. It is not just an artwork—it is a declaration from a writer who has earned his mark, signed in spray and built from brick and motion.
