Home to graffiti and street art Mecca 5Points, LIC also hosts a number of first-rate pieces on public spaces, generally devoid of street art. Here are a few pieces that we recently came upon.

This past weekend, the famed wall on the Bowery and Houston Street became the outdoor canvas to Retna’s distinct script. Derived from symbols and hieroglyphics of ancient heritages, it also reflects the West Coast’s artist’s graffiti background and sensibility.

Over 30 years ago, Angel Ortiz aka LA 11 and Keith Haring met on the streets of Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Sharing a similar aesthetic sensibility, they began to partner on dozens of projects. And while Keith Haring went on to achieve enormous recognition, LA ll has been largely overlooked. Recently, though, LA 11’s work has begun to surface in various gallery exhibits and festivals, including a solo exhibit at the Dorian Grey Gallery last spring, and on East Village walls, as well. Earlier this week, we revisited LA 11’s recent mural on East 11th Street. A welcome addition to the streets of NYC’s Lower East Side/East Village, its countless curves, lines and figures distinctly evoke Haring’s signature style.
Here are two images captured from the huge mural:

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:
Shiro, Deem, Rubin415, King Bee, Logek & Obey
