This spray-painted mural by Cope2 presents us with a contemporary dance of forms, echoing motifs that reverberate through art history. The bold, stylized letters, almost illegible in their complexity, remind us of the illuminated manuscripts of the medieval period, where script became art. But here, the sacred gives way to the secular, the individual asserting itself against the urban landscape. These shapes recall the abstract expressionism of the mid-20th century, yet Cope2 infuses this with a distinctly urban energy. The animal print pattern that fills the letters, however, is an ancient symbol of power and primal energy. It is found in ancient Egyptian iconography, and reappears in fashion and art across centuries. It is a symbolic bridge that Cope2 builds between the present and our ancient past, a testament to the enduring human need for expression and connection. This visual language continues to evolve, carrying the weight of history and the pulse of the present.
