BROOKLYN STREET ART LOVES YOU MORE EVERY DAYWe’ve been shooting and documenting Street Art in Brooklyn for over a decade now so it is a sweet sight to see more artists getting opportunities like the new program by Two Trees Management that is coming online. Of course BSA has curated legal walls around town for artists many times and we created the first Street Art projection show in DUMBO (Projekt Projektor) five years ago, but when an innovative developer with a track record for engendering an arts community gets involved, its a new scale and one with a far greater possibility for engagement of people in public space.

For the improvement district that comes under its auspicious, Street Artists (and other visual artists) are invited to regale the DUMBO walls with as great a vision as they care to present and this time the whole experience could be transformational, if the quality and the mix is handled just right. As the former neighborhood of Williamsburg is similarly evolving, can’t you just see a second wave, a renaissance of Street Art that pays tribute to the first one we’ve been documented since the turn of the century?

Today we show you new work of Street Artist/Fine Artist and 21st Century maximalist MOMO has been bathing a swath of brick with washes of hue and precisely percolating pattern while wielding the scissor lift just below the boisterous Brooklyn Queens Expressway for the last week or so, and the results are brighter and punchier than we are accustomed to – which will be good for those week-long grey patches we must endure in the BK sometimes. We last were with MOMO as he was banging out a huge wall in Baltimore, and it is good to see this talent back in Brooklyn where he once lived, but this nomad will only alight for a short time before swimming to his next exploration.
Keep your eyes open for further developments. You know we will.
