If you’ve spent any time in Los Angeles recently, you’ve seen the work of Alec Monopoly on such street surfaces as walls, utility boxes, and storefronts. The Monopoly Man, Twiggy, and Jack Nicholson have all been given a fresh life by the pop imagery of the prolific artist. Having made a significant mark on LA, Alec is bringing his talents to NYC this week, as Lebron would say.
The artist channels the inspiration of being in the energetic cultural capital of the US and the pressure of certain legal authorities breathing down his neck to create gallery level pieces that brings his street pieces to new levels on canvas. The body of work will be showcased in his pop-up show on 300 W. 22nd St. in NYC opening Nov. 11 at 3pm. Mark the date and time of the opening down now, because to make it even more of a memorable experience for those in attendance, the artist is giving away hand-finished prints to the first 250 people in line!
