While in Baltimore last month, we had the opportunity to visit Urban Evolution, a first-rate gym that is also a graffiti lover’s wonderland. Pictured above is by Newark-based Syko Roxx. What follows are several more pieces — many by NJ-based writers — that have made their way onto the walls of Urban Evolution:
NJ-based Emo
NYC-based Spot, KMS
NJ-based 4sakn
Baltimore-based Meca with fragment of piece by Grope above it
NJ-based Veer One
NJ-based Tiper
NJ-based Torch Fuego
And Baltimore-based dlordink
Note: Urban Evolution is located at 6801 Eastern Avenue in Baltimore, MD

Teeming with infectious energy, Dorian Grey’s current exhibit, 12 Mexican Street Artists, richly reflects the inventive aesthetic of Mexico City’s street art. Here are just a few images from this landmark exhibit curated by Luis Accorsi:

Also on exhibit are splendidly imaginative works by Bebo, Dhear, Fusca, MilAmores, Minoz, Saner and Undo, along with images by noted photographer Christophe von Hohenberg. 12 Mexican Street Artists continues through June 15 at Dorian Grey, 437 East 9th Street between 1st Ave and Ave A.
