About the Item

Under the El 40.0 x 33.0 x 2.0, 38.0 lbs Mixed Media Hand signed by artist Artist's Commentary: "This series of works features large archival photo transparencies of urban vistas. These images are encased in clear acrylic panels, enhanced with fluorescent or LED lighting, and mounted with stainless steel hardware. The monumental columns of the expressway stand in stark contrast to the surrounding weeds and discarded debris, evoking the tension between industrial infrastructure and the neglected urban landscape. The acrylic panels themselves take on an ethereal quality, reminiscent of the lacy, drippy forms of graffiti often seen on bus shelter panels or windows, adding an element of fragility and transience to the piece." About the Artist: Sculptor Karen Brown's use of mixed media reflects the complex relationship between the urban and industrial landscapes that surround us. Brown’s work explores the intersections of architecture, environment, and human intervention, creating art that is both visually striking and conceptually profound. Brown, a lifelong resident of Philadelphia now based in New Jersey, draws inspiration from the urban landscape, transforming what might be considered unsightly or overlooked into powerful, meaningful art. Her work invites viewers to reflect on how urban and industrial spaces influence and shape our lives and experiences.

K-Narf Color Photo Graffiti, Adhesive Tape Altered Street Art Photograph Collage
By K-Narf
Located in Surfside, FL
K-narf, French (b. 1970) Collage photo artwork (Graffiti Vans) (2011) Tape-o-graph photography Signed lower right, numbered 1/5 16 x 12 7/8 inches K-NARF was born in 1970 in Saint-Etienne, France and now lives in Tokyo. K-NARF invented PHOTOGRAFFITI a contemporary way of making street photography that lead him to develop his singular Tape-o-Graphy technique. It involves the application of adhesive tape strips on developed photographs in order to manually process the photographs giving them a unique surface texture and extraordinary appearance. Open to influences from street art and video, he uses the medium of photography as a toy to create and play. Both conceptual and experimental, definitely non-conventional, his work documents, recycles and collects the visual anachronisms of a world in a perpetual mutation. Through the years, K-narf often got support from key figures of the art world such as Teruo Kurosaki (Idee, Tokyo), Rotraut and Daniel Klein-Moquay (Yves Klein Estate), Joel Meyerowitz (pioneer of contemporary color photography), Jacques Attali (French writer), Olivier Gay (Architect & Art collector) and Yoichi Nakamuta (curator & Art producer).
