I went to BLVD Gallery over the weekend, and I am still thinking about the show. Right now the gallery is showing work by New York graffiti artist Ghost. He is legendary for his contributions to the NYC subway graffiti movement in the 70s and 80s, but over time he has switched to strictly legal artistic pursuits. His style is super fun- lots of humor and goofy letters squeezing into the frame.

My favorite pieces in the show are four canvases hanging along the south wall- reminds me of being lost in the Sea of Monsters on the way to Pepperland…

I’ve long been a fan of urban art, and it is great to see this work in a gallery setting. I am glad that BLVD is providing a haven for street art and graffiti culture. The show closes on May 3, so get there soon!
