Once again the Houston Bowery wall in New York City held stage for another incredible and powerful mural work. This time by one of the founding fathers of NY streetwear and Urban Art, FUTURA 2000 who won favor on this great wall. Stylemaster FUTURA 2000 has developed a technique and style that sets him apart from his contemporaries.
Knowing all the great artist that came before him on this iconic wall, Futura himself was quite over whelmed by the oppurtunity. In his own words his first thoughts were, “OH MY GOD”. With the likes of Keith Haring who was the initiator to originally grace his artwork on the Houston Bowery Wall in the 70’s, other artists featured on the wall included Revok, Pose, Os Gemeos, Shepard Fairey, Barry Mc Gee (Twist), Retna, Crash, Swoon, Maya Hayuk, Cope2 and Ron English to name a few. The Houston Bowery Wall has been owned by the Goldman family since 2004 and become a focal point for public art not just in New York but for the world.
