When I returned to Soho earlier this week, I was thrilled to discover several pieces — including a few collaborations — new to me. The image featured above, “Our Nation’s Claim to Justice,” was fashioned by Colombian artist Calicho Arevalo and Queens-native Jeff Rose. Several more artworks that have recently surfaced on Soho’s boarded-up stores follow:
Multidisciplinary artists Alice Mackay (center) and Marco Villard
The legendary NYC writer/artist Duel RIS
Venezuelan artist Alberto Barreto and multimedia artist AV
Ukrainian-born, NYC-based multidisciplinary artist Si Golraine at work
Brooklyn-based multidisciplinary artist Konstance Patton
Amir Diop, Brendan T Mcnally and Light Noise collaborate on mural in memory of graffiti writer Michael Stewart who died at the hands of the NYPD in 1983
To be continued next week!

Soho’s boarded-up windows and doors now host a wide range of varied artworks. While combing the streets this past Monday, I came upon works by several artists new to me, as well as by those familiar to all of us street art aficionados. The image featured above is the work of Brooklyn-based Dena Paige-Fischer. A small sampling of more images that have transformed the blocks in the vicinity of Grand and Mercer Streets into an open-air museum follow:
