Piece 1984

Cope2 made this piece with spray paint, directly onto the side of a subway car, like a rebel yell on wheels. Look at the way the light blue paint kinda floats off the surface, all bubbly and free. I can just imagine him there, late at night, maybe with the cops on his tail, making these huge, swooping gestures with the spray can. It's like a dance, a high-stakes game of tag with the city itself. You can see the influence of old-school graffiti, but Cope2 has his own fresh style too. I feel like he is not just writing his name, but also writing his own story, full of energy, rebellion, and a fuck-you attitude. Graffiti is about marking territory, sure, but it's also about making a mark on the world. It is a pure form of expression, unfiltered and raw.
