Under the curatorial direction of Giulia Shine with the support of Empty Cans NYC, six style masters have recently transformed a Long Island City block into an enchanting oasis of bold beauty and intrigue. The blazing mural featured above was painted by veteran graffiti artist Curve, an active member of the famed TGE Crew. Several more images captured of the huge production follow:
