Description from the seller
COPE2 - New York City Subway Map - 2026
Original artwork on a New York subway map, created in September 2026.
A defining 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 in the movement. His interventions on New York subway cars, his distinctive letterforms and his famous throw-ups have made him one of the emblematic signatures of the New York graffiti scene of the 1980s and 1990s.
His work gradually crossed street boundaries to reach contemporary art galleries and international private collections, without ever denying his origins.
Created in September 2026 on a New York subway map, this work directly testifies to this artistic heritage. The choice of support is especially symbolic since the New York subway is one of the historical cradles of graffiti.
The composition blends spray paint, marker, vibrant colors, overlays and the artist’s characteristic letterforms.
Each work has its own composition and constitutes an original piece, at the crossroads of the history of New York graffiti and contemporary art.
