About the Artist - SEEN:
SEEN, an iconic figure in American street art, is renowned for his graffiti that adorned the MTA train cars in New York's subway system throughout the 1970s. His work, characterized by vibrant block letters and whimsical representations of human figures, draws inspiration from comic books and television. Born Richard Mirando in 1961 in the Bronx, NY, SEEN began his journey in street art in 1973 with the United Artists graffiti crew. By the 1980s, he expanded his canvas to include works on canvas, participating in exhibitions alongside legends like Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat.
SEEN's evolution as an artist reflects his adaptability and exploration of various mediums, including tattooing, clothing design, and sculpture. His statement, “Graffiti lost its edge in the mid-1980s, and that’s why I needed to find other mediums like tattooing and clothing to put my name to,” marks his commitment to evolving his artistic expression.
Owning a SEEN original is not just an acquisition of a piece of art history; it's an investment in a legacy that bridges the worlds of street art and fine art. SEEN's works offer a rare opportunity to own a piece of the vibrant New York graffiti movement, with potential appreciative value.
