Description

Created circa 2010, is rooted in the legacy of New York graffiti, of which Sonic is a key representative.

The work is executed in spray paint and marker on a New York City subway map (MTA), an iconic support of American urban culture, here mounted on cardboard and fixed onto a metal panel . This choice of material anchors the piece in a street-derived aesthetic while giving it a more durable, gallery-oriented presence.

The composition combines stylized figures, tags, and graphic elements in a dense and colorful scene, evoking the raw energy of the city and the visual language of graffiti. The artist’s gesture, both spontaneous and controlled, captures the immediacy of the medium while constructing a complex and narrative image.

Signed in the lower right, the work reflects the transition of graffiti from the public space to the gallery, while preserving its visual strength and cultural roots.

Sonic (Jesse Rodriguez), Hot Bomb
United States  • 1961

Presentation

Jesse Rodriguez aka "Sonic" was born in 1961, he grew up in New York. He lives and works in Bronx.

During the 70's in New York, the world of graffiti was rapidly expanding, while the street artists often portrayed letters, Sonic brought along a new vision and a new way of doing graffiti. Besides from his bright colors, the letters were accompanied with human figures.

His unique style is today one of the most famous in the city, his art is a result of creative work and a constant innovative research. Due to his capturing ability through photos, his art which was earlier short-lived, now gets long lasting recognition.

Sonic's art work isn't just set on the street but is now part of the fashion world or the video games industry. In addition to the galleries, they are also displayed in different parts of the world like Amsterdam Singapore Germany, Jakarta, Hong Kong, Belgium, France and New York.
