Street Art has been adopted as a lifestyle by some celebrity art collectors in recent years, adding to their personal brand and elevating the artist’s legacy in some ways. Brooklyn Museum exhibited 100 celebrated works from the personal art collection of musicians and cultural icons Swizz Beatz and their wife Alicia Keys, often including prominent, recognized names like Jean Michel Basquiat. Here SEF.01 channels the aesthetic and re-presents Keys as a girl, surrounded by references to childhood and the Brooklyn Street Artist in his mural.
