BROOKLYN STREET ART LOVES YOU MORE EVERY DAYStreet Artist LNY was in the Fountain Art fair this weekend and is on the street 24/7 right now in lower Manhattan as part of a Fourth Arts Block public arts project directed by Keith Schweitzer.
The sweeping careening necks of the long billed birds are wrapped around a malfeasant from below, wrestling in a violent and epic struggle while both are tossed by the waves in a lyrical, illustrative hand.

LNY tells BSA what “The Golden Hour” refers to; “Its name comes from the medical term referring the period of time after traumatic injury during which treatment is most likely to prevent death,” he says. As the city continues to struggle with rebuilding and relocating our dispossessed neighbors four months after Hurricane Sandy, the Street Artist says this mural relates to the unprecedented damage lower Manhattan sustained from the natural disaster.
“Its a dense, violent narrative but the colors make it pleasant so I am very happy with the reactions so far, ” he says.
