Description
The energy of the Bronx is expressed here through an abstract composition. The gesture is assured. The thick, sharp black lines structure the space with graphic precision. They recall the codes of comic books and the aesthetic of Pop Art.
The palette is meant to be bold. Yellow, blue, and red clash in a controlled balance. The use of watercolor paint brings a particular fluidity to the gradients.
The artist plays with organic and geometric shapes that interlock. The contrast between saturated blocks of color and dark outlines creates an immediate visual relief. This piece embodies the transition between New York subway graffiti and contemporary art.
Created in 2017, this watercolor painting on paper measures 37x30 cm. It is presented in a sober black frame with a museum glass that protects the work over time and is anti-reflective.
Presentation
Crash (John Matos) is a graffiti artist born in the Bronx on October 11, 1961. He is one of the major protagonists of the ?spray can (R)evolution?.
He starts to do graffiti while he is still very young, on the New York trains, before passing to canvas.
He joins the Sidney Janis Gallery in 1983. His works are acquired by the most important collections in the world, from the MoMA in New Yorks to the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
The public gets to know him when he co-produces, with Keith Haring, the Peter Stuyvesant advertising campaign. In France, he achieves fame after taking part in the 5/5 Figuration Libre exhibition France-USA at the Musée d'art moderne de la Ville de Paris in 1984. This exhibition featured the work of artists such as Basquiat, Boisrond, Combas, Keith Harring, Tseng Kwong Chi, Di Rosa... and John Matos Crash.
His style is close to comics, he uses flamboyant colors that remind us of the world of advertising and his works assert themselves as pure producs of the contemporary world. He is following the Pop Art lineage perfectly and raises again the so-called subculture to the status of ?high art?.
