Graffiti has now become a mainstream art that is widely appreciated and practiced around the world. It also has that abstract impression of the modern expressionism of an art form that was born in Brooklyn in the last century. The artist Futura, co-founder of the collective Soul Artists, began painting on subway cars and tunnels at the age of 15. The underground artist of the 70s and 80s finally got his recognition for his art in 1981 when his work was exhibited alongside artists such as Warhol and Keith Haring. And his art has "sprayed" on skate decks, record covers, clothings and many other variations ever since. He is now showcasing his latest work in Paris with an urban energy of the abstract expressionst of New York. You can check out his expression until February 29th, 2012.
