“There could be something beautiful here.” Contrary to my initial impressions, this flier on Sullivan Street (above Bleecker) is not part of a viral campaign for a dating website. Apparently, it’s the work of a Dutch artist named Ties Ten Bosch [link].
Using every medium necessary, my artistic practice focuses on the research of city life. By re-inventing and recreating, intervening and collaborating I create new artistic insights into city life in general. These insights result in work that I place back into the city; which, in its turn, results into new input.
But this turf is still a battleground for many street scrawlers. On a signpost just a few steps away, our friend Leviticus is back with a new public announcement. He wants to paint your portrait, so give him a call.
