Description from the seller
COPE2 - New York City Subway Map - 2026
Original work on a New York subway map, created in September 2026.
A landmark figure of New York graffiti and a true legend of international Street Art, COPE2 (Fernando Carlo Jr.) has embodied for more than four decades the energy and authenticity of Bronx urban culture.
Born in 1968 in New York, he began graffiti in 1978 and quickly established himself as one of the major players of the movement. His interventions on New York subway cars, his distinctive lettering and his famous throw-ups have made him one of the iconic signatures of the 1980s and 1990s graffiti scene.
His work gradually crossed the streets to reach contemporary art galleries and international private collections, never denying his origins.
Created in September 2026 on a New York subway map, this work directly testifies to this artistic legacy. The choice of support is particularly symbolic since the New York subway is one of the historical cradles of graffiti.
The composition blends spray paint, marker, vibrant colors, superpositions and the artist’s characteristic lettering.
Each work has its own composition and constitutes an original piece, at the crossroads of the history of New York graffiti and contemporary art.
