Tim Conlon the Freight Painter

We have a longstanding romance with the American train, a slow and poetic vision that crosses rivers, slices through mountains and connects towns, cities and new frontiers. The railroad has been the subject of songs, novels, paintings and film, but the train car itself has an intimate and unique relationship to graffiti. The American folk history of hobo and rail worker graffiti is steeped in our culture, from the Beatniks to the contemporary graffiti movement that has stretched from Colossus of Roads to the likes of Jason REVOK, Barry McGee and the late Margaret Kilgallen.

De-Generations of London Graffiti: A Story of 10FOOT, TOX and FUME
Juxtapoz Magazine » Graffiti
by
1M ago
Right off the bat, the guy on the other end of the encrypted conversation tells me, “If I state something, it’s really just a question.” He goes by the name 10FOOT, not because he’s the most prolific writer in London but because he’s that tall, or seems that way, like it’s a childhood nickname, and judging from the response I’m getting from people in England when I tell them I will be talking to 10FOOT, he’s a legendary reprobate. So I guess he wants to make certain I know his uncertainty, that he and the rest of his mates are agnostics. That’s a good place to start ..read more

ZEPHYR: Graffiti Blackbook/Scrapbook 1978 And Beyond
Juxtapoz Magazine » Graffiti
by
2M ago
The beautiful part of graffiti is that it's such an ephemeral art form; most of its greatest works only lasted days, if not hours. But the archives are rich, and what remains are historic and essential. ZEPHYR, one of the most influential graff artists of NYC, kept a scrapbook that would become pivotal to the history of the graffiti, and weighing 7 pounds with 243 full-color pages, ZEPHYR: Graffiti Blackbook/Scrapbook 1978 and Beyond is an exact reproduction of the most essential years of artistic discovery. “I'm hopeful that there is content here—historical and/or sentimental,” ZEPHYR says ..read more

On the occasion of his latest book, Monumental Graffiti, Rafael Schacter sat down with our good friend Doug Gillen of FifthWallTV to talk about just that, his love for graffiti and his book that "focuses on the material, communicative, and contextual aspects of these two forms of material culture to provide a timely perspective on public art, citizenship, and the city today."  ..read more

HUSKMITNAVN: A New Day @ V1 Gallery, Copenhagen
Juxtapoz Magazine » Graffiti
by
4M ago
There is something so comforting about a HUSKMITNAVN show at V1 Gallery. Not that the work is comfortable, but that you know HUSKMITNAVN will paint about domestic life in a way that feels relatable, or create a collective sense of anxiety and humor in his illustrations. It's comforting because you know he has an eye out for us, he's paying attention, he gets it, he gets what is going on at home. He has always had an empathetic eye, and in A New Day, that understanding of the mundane being profound is ever so apparent. As the gallery notes, "There is a joyful defiance in A New Day, a ..read more

GATS Comes Out at "Midnight"
Juxtapoz Magazine » Graffiti
by
4M ago
The perks and drawbacks of being a masked figure are roughly the same: nobody can know you. While this anonymity frees graffiti artists like GATS (Graffiti Against the System), it also means the painter has had to connect with their audience beyond a personal identity. Over decades of painting city walls, warehouses, underpasses, and highways worldwide, GATS has built a community that instantly recognizes the bearded or toothed mask as representing the artist’s presence. In their newest solo exhibition with Harman Projects, Midnight, GATS recontextualizes the familiar masked face with a sense ..read more

After 50 Years, FUTURA 2000 is Finally "Breaking Out"
Juxtapoz Magazine » Graffiti

Right from the jump; it's all here. FUTURA 2000, the Bronx, graffiti, street culture, 50 years of art history..., like there are few art forms, and an artist for that matter, that represent a particular era (and the transcendence of said era to move through the years) quite like FUTURA. He and graffiti go together, even though FUTURA didn't linger in graff for too long. He took the freedom, the expression of it, and took it with him. I think that is an important part of the lore of the great FUTURA; his is a story of taking the essence of a thing and moving it through his life, applying it to ..read more

Radio Juxtapoz ep 042: You Can't Steal Everything, A Conversation with KRINK's Craig Costello
Juxtapoz Magazine » Graffiti
by
4M ago
"You can't steal everything," Craig Costello says, as he recounts his years in both Queens and San Francisco in the 1980s and 1990s. In many ways, Costello is right. As a graffiti writer, photographer and all around innovator, Costello, also known as KR and, of course, now known as the man behind the KRINK brand of markers and inks for not only graffiti, but fine art practices as well, has been at the forefront of multiple ways of underground culture emerging into public consciousness. These moments and stories are captured in the new book, KRINK: Graffiti, Art, and Invention, and in many way ..read more

OSGEMEOS: Endless Story @ Hirshhorn Museum Highlights the Fall Season
Juxtapoz Magazine » Graffiti
by
6M ago
If there was ever a duo to honor of the pioneering era of graffiti and breakdancing in the early 1980s, Brazilian twins OSGEMEOS are the torch bearers. For decades now, the two have created street and studio work that was just as much influenced by Subway Art and Wild Style as it was by Hieronymus Bosch, a singular universe of fantasy that channels their childhood in São Paulo with the world opened to them through graffiti and hip-hop. The Hirshhorn Museum will present OSGEMEOS: Endless Story as the first US museum survey and largest US exhibition to date, long overdue and the ripe time for a ..read more
