BROOKLYN STREET ART LOVES YOU MORE EVERY DAY
Street Artist JMR has travelled far east from Brooklyn, where we first started seeing his work on the street in the 2000s. Coinciding with Art Basel Hong Kong, the geometry loving abstractionist had a solo show called “Escape” with Joyce Gallery that drew a lot of new fans to his line based work. The really exciting gig for JMR was seeing one of his pieces driving around town as a double city tram – a sort of mobile wall installation on wheels.

Right now the former SVA student is showing the poppy Miro and Caldor side of his work along his more gestural monochromatic stuff, drawing on his early graffiti past and his art school education about mid-century modern expressionism and the processes associated with automatic drawing. Check out some images of the trip exclusively for BSA readers.
