Gray Field

I just can’t seem to escape these abstract minimalist paintings from my childhood appearing on all the walls around me, like here on Apollo Street, Greenpoint.

Self Portrait

Functional, dysfunctional, perhaps it’s just an exhaust coming out of a wall, but this picture makes me happier than most I’ve taken in 2012 so far.

From Russell Street, Greenpoint.

From Nassau Avenue

Flaky Bricks And Blue Colorfields

More flaky bricks, just the way I like ‘em.

From the ghetto end of Grand Street in Brooklyn that is hard to get to via car.

And a little abstract minimalism as the cherry on top.

The city is a giant museum if you so choose it to be. Rothko lives.

When people cover up graffiti, they’re rarely returning it to its previous state and most often creating a whole new image.  I like what is created as an unintended collaboration with the “creator” and the “concealer”.  It sometimes makes for some dynamic minimalist shit if you look for it.  For some of them, Mark Rothko comes to my mind.
