About: Growing up in the Bronx during the vibrant tumult of the 1960s and '70s, John “Crash” Matos embarked on his journey as a graffiti artist at the tender age of 13, armed with nothing but a can of spray paint and a boundless creative spirit. Venturing into the gritty canvas of New York City's subway yards, he immersed himself in the underground art scene, leaving his mark on the city's pulse by adorning subway trains with his iconic tag—CRASH. Undeterred by the economic challenges of the era, Crash's distinctive, blocky signature became a fixture of the subway landscape throughout the '70s and '80s, defining an era of artistic rebellion amidst urban turmoil. As the art world began to take notice, Crash's transition from the subway to the gallery was catalyzed by the support and encouragement of his contemporaries, most notably the influential Keith Haring. By the 1980s, Crash's explosive outdoor murals found a new canvas on the more contained planes of gallery walls, marking a pivotal moment in his artistic evolution. Yet, even amidst growing recognition and acclaim, Crash remains steadfast in his commitment to his craft, tirelessly pursuing commissions and collaborations that continue to push the boundaries of his creativity. Looking to the future with unbridled enthusiasm, Crash sees his path as one paved with endless opportunities for expression and exploration. With a mantra of "more work, more painting, more life," he embraces the journey ahead with the same passion and vigor that fueled his graffiti beginnings in the bustling streets of New York City.

John Crash Matos
Born John Matos in 1961, CRASH was raised in the Bronx, New York. At the age of 13, he began following the older teens from his neighborhood to the train yards and began bombing. Taking the name “CRASH” after he accidentally crashed the computer in his school, his name began appearing on trains circulating all throughout New York City. By 1980, he began transitioning from train yards to galleries. He curated the groundbreaking "Graffiti Art Success for America" at Fashion MODA, launching the graffiti movement that has remained very active through today. CRASH’s career took off and he saw instant popularity throughout Europe and America, and eventually Asia. CRASH has been part of numerous museum and gallery shows around the world focusing on Graffiti and Street Art, and has works in many permanent museum collections. Visually iconic, he has partnered with many companies for projects including Absolut Vodka, Fender Guitars, SoBella Handbags, Levi’s, and most recently, Tumi luggage and Morphik. He continues to work and show both locally and internationally. Enjoy the awe and power of CRASH!

Danny Brown is a first-generation American urban artist born in Los Angeles. His parents relocated their family from Oaxaca, Mexico in search of opportunities in the United States. Brown uses his interest in fashion as well as his knowledge of color, design, and culture as inspiration for his paintings. The loss of friends to violence and incarceration, combined with the loss of a family member to gang violence pushed Brown to use art as a source of therapy and to project a positive inspiring image for his community.
Brown’s art coalesces youth culture, art history, fashion, and American consumerism and melds them all to create his unique style. Instantly relatable and recognizable, his cathartic paintings represent contemporary issues as well as a demographic that is traditionally underrepresented in fine art. His works speak to young Americans and inspire a whole new generation of art collectors and admirers.
