Scientifically Correct: Molecular Structures, Arrows and Pathways by Coco 144
This exhibition presents the newest work of Coco 144, one of the essential painters in New York City’s subway art movement. Coco 144 began to write his name on the streets in late 1969, then participated in the first generation of subway writers from 1970-1972, making a significant mark on the Broadway line (No. 1 Train) and becoming one of major writers of Manhattan. While painting in the subway system, he created the first stencil in the writing movement, enabling him to tag his name with great speed quickly. He maintained a unique style and became one of the most famous aerosol artists worldwide. This exhibiton marks the 40th anniversary of Coco 144’s contribution to writing, aerosol culture and street art. Curated by Fernando Ruíz Lorenzo (bOb Gallery, NYC) and Tom Wolf, Professor of Art History.
