West Solo Exhibition

Posted on 09 July 2008

Recognized as one of the most prolific artists in the New York Graffiti scene throughout the 1980’s and 90’s. He began painting on the number 1 Broadway local subway line in 1984. Throughout the 1990’s, West, along with his ‘Fame City’ crew has been recognized as a major influence in the NYC graffiti movement with large scale graffiti mural paintings. Since 2001 West has pushed into the realms of abstract expressionism and stripped the artform of all of it’s traditional trappings of color, medium, and process. As a result a new unique language has emerged.

Here are some great snaps from West’s show which recently launched and is open through July, along with the hosts Galerie Magda Danysz compiling a small interview with the artist well worth checking out.

Thanks to HQ for the images.
