Fuzi- Defaced

This year, French graffiti and tattoo artist FUZI invades the Museum of Graffiti from Wednesday, December 1 to present DEFACED, an exhibition of new works on canvas and historic works from his days as a train painter in Paris. Fuzi’s new exhibit brings to life his tattoo style but this time on canvas. Bold and humorous paintings depicting his raucous cartoon world that has gone mad. Humans vs animals, vandals vs police, and everything in between come together in his expertly rendered pieces. This is lowbrow art at its finest.

Style Masters: The Birth of the Graffiti Art Movement

The Museum’s inaugural exhibition surveys the evolution of aerosol art and culture, its roots in New York City as a 1970s teenage pastime, its explosion in popularity on the City’s walls and trains, and how it went global to become the largest and most powerful art movement in recorded history.

Early documentation of this vivid art form by photographers Keith Baugh, Robert Browning, Henry Chalfant, Martha Cooper, Don 1, Flint Gennari, John Naar, Jim Prigoff, and SJK171 allow us to see the long-gone early wall and train works of graffiti writers. Works on canvas by Blade, Coco 144, Doze Green, Kel First, Lady Pink, Nov 167, Phase2, Quik, Snake 1, Sonic 002, and Dondi White capture the energy and power of the early style masters. Works on paper dating back as early as 1973, by artists such as Cos 207, Fuzz One, Part One, Lee Quiñones, Tracy 168, and Chain 3 showcase the wide range of styles and the creative development within the art form. Site-specific installations by Defer, Ghost, Giz, and Jon One highlight regional styles as well as dialogue between artists transnationally.
