COPE2

Fernando Carlo, aka COPE2, is a leading figure in New York graffiti. Born in 1968 in the South Bronx, he began painting in 1978. Very active in the 1980s and 1990s, he made a name for himself by painting on all the New York subway lines, earning him international renown. Today, COPE2 continues to create, blending his raw energy with abstract expressionist style works, interwoven with his famous bubble letters and canvas tags. His work has been exhibited in galleries and museums in the United States and internationally, including D'Stassi Art in London in 2024 and JPS Gallery in Hong Kong in 2021.
