About the artwork
In an explosion of color, blending neon pink, turquoise, yellow and midnight blue, this work perfectly blends the codes of urban art: graffiti, tag, scratched wall. Cope2 plays with materials to give the canvas a mural-like feel. He inscribes the number 156, like a shipping crate, perhaps wishing to assert the commercialization of street art?
