Description from the seller
COPE2 - New York City Subway Map - 2026
Original artwork on a New York City subway map, created in September 2026.
A major figure in New York graffiti and a true legend of the international Street Art scene, COPE2 (Fernando Carlo Jr.) has embodied the energy and authenticity of Bronx urban culture for more than four decades.
Born in 1968 in New York, he began creating graffiti in 1978 and quickly established himself as one of the movement’s leading figures. His work on New York City subway cars, his distinctive lettering and his famous throw-ups made him one of the signature artists of the graffiti scene in the 1980s and 1990s.
His work gradually moved beyond the streets to enter contemporary art galleries and international private collections, without ever denying its roots.
Created in September 2026 on a New York City subway map, this work directly bears witness to that artistic legacy. The choice of medium is especially symbolic, as the New York City subway is one of graffiti’s historic birthplaces.
The composition combines spray paint, marker, vibrant colors, layering and the artist’s distinctive lettering.
Each work has its own composition and is an original piece at the crossroads of New York graffiti history and contemporary art.
