Downtown 18 Painting

This painting is based on the movie Downtown 81 and the graffiti of Jean-Michel Basquiat. Jean-Michel was a "tagger" writing poetry on the streets of NYC under the same SAMO before he became one of the most influential painters in American history. There is my poetry in here based on SAMO's direct writings and also ode ot some of the great streetartists of the past and today. Like Fab 5 Freddy, Lee Quinones, Shepard Fairy and Banksy. There's even an ode to Glenn O'Brien, who wrote "Downtown 81" as well as Deborah Harry and Madonna. Please look at each piece separate. Each piece has its own identity. It's own characteristics. Every stroke is different. Almost every idea is a big change from the one before and the one ahead of it. I am a conceptual artist. Sometimes it's a film and sometimes it's a drawing of a pigeon on a dirty, broken, backboard. Whatever I am feeling at the time I have to go run and paint or write. I think of an image and get it down on paper or canvas 70-95% of what was in my head. Be Original. Nicholas Conlon
