WestOne FC Art Show





Recognized as one of the most prolific artists in the New York Graffiti scene throughout the 1980's and 90's. He began painting on the number 1 Broadway local subway line in 1984. Throughout the 1990's, West, along with his 'Fame City' crew has been recognized as a major influence in the NYC graffiti movement with large scale graffiti mural paintings. Since 2001 West has pushed into the realms of abstract expressionism and stripped the artform of all of it's traditional trappings of color, medium, and process. As a result a new unique language has emerged.

West has been an inspiration to me within the world of Graff and Fashion along side of the rest of the FC & Original PNB family. I can never give credit alone without mentioning Brue, Blust, Serge, Sung, Dash and Dontay in the same breath. I missed out on the opportunity to go to Paris to check the show but next time for sure. For more info go to the Galerie Magda Danyz.
