BSA Images Of The Week: 08.28.22

Welcome to BSA Images of the Week!

Ultimately people respond to graffiti and street art because of the humanity that vibrates from it. You may care deeply, or care not. If it is effective, art on the street will help you to make the connection. New York is blessed this summer to have a particularly deep and wide selection of unsanctioned and sanctioned artworks across the city that is evidence of a mature, vibrant scene full of many voices, perspectives and styles. Even our art on the streets illustrates that New York is a true melting pot.

Here’s our weekly interview with the street, this week featuring: Dark Clouds, Blek le Rat, Damien Mitchell, Dragon76, TKid170, Banksy Hates Me, Habibi, Laurier Artiste, Blame Blanco, SanekOne, Carnin Paulino, Ruma, and The Postman.

Stanley George, the proprietor of Stanley’s Pharmacy on The Lower East Side of Manhattan passed away on Wednesday, August 24 from surgery complications. Stanley, as he was fondly known, was a beloved and respected member of the neighborhood offering individualized remedies to his clients from hangovers to colds. He was 48 years old. The community is organizing a memorial to celebrate his life on what would have been his 49th birthday on September 14. The artwork on the gate was previously painted in honor of The Notorious B.I.G. but has faded. Community members have been leaving flowers, candles, and gifts here in Mr. George’s memory.
