WALLWORKS NEW YORK WELCOMES DUTCH ARTIST TRIPL TO CELEBRATE REPAINTING SUBWAY ART!​

​

Bronx, NY - WALLWORKS NEW YORK is proud to announce the next exhibition at Inspiration Point, Repainting Subway Art, celebrating the publication of the book of the same name.

 

The publication Repainting Subway Art Tripl a.k.a Furious (Ruyzdael Publishing, Amsterdam, 2024) is the consummation of a tribute to the inventiveness and creativity of the original, New York, graffiti writers and photographers of the book Subway Art (Martha Cooper, Henry Chalfant. Thames & Hudson, New York, 1984) and the worldwide graffiti movement they inspired for more than 40 years. One gifted Dutch graffiti writer, Tripl, has recreated and reinterpreted Subway Art, paying both homage to, and starting a dialogue with, the creators of the original book and graffiti as a whole.

 

The exhibition will feature side-by-side pages of the original book and TRIPL's recreations, inviting visitors to become fully immersed in the book. In the upstairs gallery space, visitors will find clothing and film clips of the artist working through each of the pages of the legendary book. Join us for the opening reception on April 5 from 6:00pm - 8:00pm with music from DJ Eddie B Swift and drinks courtesy of The Bronx Beer Hall to celebrate this link between New York and Dutch culture!

 

This exhibition is in partnership with The Museum of the City of New York. Head to the museum and join Dutch artist Tripl, Graffiti legend and gallery co-owner John “Crash” Matos, Martha Cooper, and Henry Chalafant, in a moderated discussion with Graffiti scholar, Edward Birzin for an in-depth conversation on the evolution of and global nature of graffiti art on Friday April 4 at 6:30pm.
