One of our favorite public spaces that features street art is Woodward Gallery’s Project Space on Eldridge Street. The most recent work to surface is Skewville’s. It replaces KA’s and MTK’s.

Few NYC walls successfully fuse as many distinct styles and sensibilities as those up in the Bronx. Among these is the huge wall on Boone Avenue in the West Farms district. East meets West; graffiti couples with street art and comic art merges with folk art. Here are a few images:

Although the streets of Bushwick almost always attract visiting artists, it is home to many NYC-based artists whose works surface regularly. Among these are Veng, Bast, Ewok, Never & Wane.

Although Bushwick has evolved into Brooklyn’s largest free open-air gallery, Williamsburg remains home to a range of both sanctioned and unsanctioned street art and graffiti in an array of media and styles. Here’s a sampling of what we came upon yesterday:

Within the same 10-block radius of Bushwick’s vibrant graffiti walls are some of NYC’s most expressive street art pieces. While many are fashioned by locals, others are the work of artists from abroad who leave their mark on Bushwick’s walls. These range from C215’s 2009 seductive stencils – some of which we’ve only recently uncovered — to huge pieces by ROA on some of Bushwick’s grittier walls.

The walls of Bushwick, Brooklyn — off the L train’s Morgan Avenue and Jefferson Street stops — have become a canvas not only for the most innovative street art to surface in NYC, but also for some of its freshest writing styles.
