Great wall of boxes

On my days in the city i love to chill for a bit in Washington Square Park. I like the whole vibe there. Walking out of the (east side) of the park the other day i passed Washington Square Windows.
(making pictures through a window on a very sunny day; not the best idea; won't come out as your best photos)

I was pleasantly surprised by three large window filled with all these great 'boxes' of art by Jon Lee.
(if you want to see them yourself, hurry up, this exhibit has been there since June 1st already and will only last through August 13th!)

Lee began as a graffiti artist fusing urban elements in his art. "There is something about the raw and pure energy, not to mention the dedication put into street art that makes me enjoy the medium so much. I take this fresh energy and explode onto canvases almost in the same [way] I would a wall--using the same materials I would outdoors. Aerosol, latex, hand-cut stencils and marker are layered, and then combined with more traditional methods of art and design.... My backgrounds are mixtures of paint dripping, splashing and dropping.... To the foregrounds I add dominant shapes and objects--taking control of the reality--making my mark."

Some more NY streetart, you know i'm always on the lookout for creatures on the walls. Geek, Plasmaslug and Oxy.
