About the Item
Al Diaz
Alien Cubism 3, 2018
Mixed media on sheet metal
24 x 18 inches
Al Diaz is an influential, first generation New York City graffiti artist, who later became a text oriented street artist whose career spans 5 decades. Diaz is best known for his collaboration with Jean Michel Basquiat on SAMO(c), graffiti that appeared in lower Manhattan from 1977 to 1979. SAMO(c) initially known for its wit and sarcastic humor, became a globally recognized graffito after Basquiat’s rise to fame.
Diaz currently works with the WET PAINT & Service Change Alert signs used throughout the New York City subway system — cutting out individual letters from multiple signs to create clever, surreal and sometimes poignant anagrams. The reworked signage is then posted back onto subway walls. His earlier WET PAINT work is featured in Nicholas Ganz’s new book “Street Messages”. Diaz exhibits regularly and has been a featured speaker on a variety of panel discussions, including at The New School, The Museum of the City of New York, NOLA Arts Festival in New Orleans, and The New York Public Library as part of a discussion panel on the Basquiat Notebooks. Al Diaz lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.

- 'Twilight Vista' Landscape of Serene Huts amidst an Abstract Sky by Maria PoroyLocated in Carmel, CAIn this evocative piece, Poroy's artistic prowess paints dreams rather than scenes from life. At its core, the artwork features three quaint houses, each possessing a unique charm. Amidst the purple and blueish tones of the landscape, one house stands out, adorned in a vibrant shade of blue, creating a captivating contrast that draws the viewer's gaze. The scene unfolds under the enchanting light of twilight, where shadows cast by the gentle evening glow unveil the true essence of each house.

The background of the painting resembles a surreal ocean layer, adorned with soft, bubble-like circles that infuse the composition with a sense of otherworldly wonder. Maria Poroy...Category
