New York 

60x 78  Acrylic on Breadboard  2021

Modern graffiti has its roots in New York's 1970's economic collapse, during a time of an exodus of the middle class into the suburbs ensuing with gentrification of communities. Its various forms of expression are mostly missed, often obscure or hidden. A graffiti artist will generally colour where they feel should be coloured and enunciate what they find distasteful. This latter would be the more commonly perceived, however deeper in, new environments emerge.

I saw this image online and loved it. Some graffiti has been altered, there are the names of Rodger J. Boscovich, Nicola Tesla, Charles Proteus Steinmetz, Oliver Heaviside, Michael Faraday, Eric Dollard and a friend I met once in England named El.  Also is an excerpt from The Missing Secrets of Magnetism by K.Wheeler - Lux et Veritas, or Light and Truth, Ken is referring to primordial light that cannot be seen, that is true darkness; not a privation of light, ie. a shadow, and not the dynamic illumination of manifested phenomenon, or what is generally thought to be light.
