Bronx native John Matos also known by his tag name Crash is showing work alongside fellow graffitero Remi Rough from the UK. The show is meant to feature work that exemplifies the progress and movement of the street art scene and the future of the craft. Crash’s work has been seen on subway trains and public walls around the city since the 70s and just last year he painted the Bowery Wall. The show is up until February 23rd.

Dzine : Born, Carlos Rolon, 1970

Dzine’s shattered and crystallized mirrors at PINTA 2013 were one of the most beautifully designed works at the Latin American art fair. Lucky for us, we get to see more of his work at his show that pays homage to the sport of boxing. Dzine’s work shows a love of boxing to be prevalent in many Latin American communities. Living in both Puerto Rico and Chicago, Dzine saw an infatuation with the art of boxing and even considered it to have an inspirational effect on his art. There will be a simultaneous exhibit at Salon 94, which explores domestic spaces in Puerto Rico and the U.S., two places the artist called home. This Wednesday, January 29, 2014 from 6 to 9 pm is the opening party at Paul Kasmin. See you there 🙂
