Jeremy Novy
Strength III - Blue Koi Street Art

2022

About the Item

Novy’s most-established series of koi fish references propaganda posters and anti-authoritarian symbols in Chinese art under communism. Koi traditionally symbolize the lessons and trials people often encounter in life and, as koi are able to swim against the current and travel upstream, represent resilience. The quantity of koi depicted corresponds to its meaning in Chinese numerology. On a personal note, Novy is especially drawn to koi because he says he looks like one. After considering removing a birthmark on his forehead, his aunt explained to him that what makes koi so beautiful and unique is their individual markings. Novy adopted the koi as his power animal and began stenciling this signature image on sidewalks around the US in 2006.

  • "7 Koi " Spray paint, stenciled on salvaged window wood frame
    By Jeremy Novy
    Located in West Hollywood, CA
    Jeremy Novy’s unique brand of street art is ripe with thoughtful social examinations. Novy has combated a homophobic lack of representation with a celebration of gay iconography, bringing joviality and warmth to disused urban spaces. Since graduating from pecks school of the arts, Novy’s art has been met with acclaim across the country.
