has been for sale for some time, as you have seen. The maintenance and ongoing development to keep our non-profit and idealistic platform for contemporary art running and safe from hackers etc. costs money that is no longer there. Because of small investments that are necessary now and the running costs, we will have to shut down with a heavy heart at the beginning of summer on June 21.
Colossus In NYC
2009
72"H X 60''W: The simplicity of a cartoon figure makes it ideal for a graffiti style. No doubt a cartoon will not carry the weight of a Goya giant but perhaps it's message does not have to be heavy.
Hokusai Fishing
2009
60"W x 90''H: A simple blockprint will translate easily to a graffiti painting. A more complicated one would need to first be sinplified.
Picnic On The Grass
60"H x 70''W: While Manet successfully ridiculed the style of the French Academy he did not seem aware of any feminist issues. The clothed women in this painting repair that problem.
Homer's Herring Net,
60"H x 95''W: As an outstanding realist Homer dominated American art in his time. However, this painting can retain it's nineteen century quality as a graffiti.
Graffiti Night
60"H x 107''W: Van Gogh's "Starry Night "was his only work not painted from life. As an adventurous, creative and bold painter I believe he would have made a great graffiti artist.
Cezanne's Apples
60"H x 60''W: Cezanne's distinctive style is lost when it is presented as a graffiti. This work could remind you of a Matisse not a Cubist paintiIng. In the last hundred and fifty years more styles of painting have been invented than ever before. Graffiti is one of the more recent ones.
Mary Cassatt's Models
60"H x 60''W: Mary Cassatt as a wealthy woman and heir to her family's fortune supported a large household and many servants. Although a graffiti style may seem incompatible with their way of life, it reduces what we need to know about the subjects.
Sunday Walk
55"H x 50''W: Humor, cartoons, and bright colors work for graffiti. Quaint costumes are fun and graffiti as a style of art is basically light-hearted.
Demoiselles Da Bronx, I
60"H X 60''W: Picasso's Demoiselles D'Avignon is seen from the point of view of a Bronx street artist. The mixture of global styles intensifies the fun.
Demoiselles Da Bronx, II
60"H x 60''W: Graffiti is included as one of the global styles used here. Picasso could have been an easy-going natural graffiti artist.
