Original Abstract Painting 'Mixtape'

Original Abstract Painting – “The View Forward” (5Pointz Series)
24" x 36", acrylic on 1" wrapped canvas

This is a painting that doesn’t whisper—it speaks in layers, grit, and movement. “The View Forward” pulses with energy, drawn from the NYC streets where expression was survival, and art was protest. Bold contrasts cut through vivid fields of color, colliding with moments of shadow and distress. It’s both a tribute and a reckoning, channeling the tension between memory and reinvention.

Just as the 5Pointz building was painted over, so was this canvas—layered, buried, transformed. What once lived beneath the surface is gone, obscured. It leaves the viewer to wonder: what was lost? what was erased? That silence speaks as loudly as any mark left behind.

This piece is for the collector who feels the rhythm in chaos. Someone who knows the city not just as skyline, but as pulse. They may have grown up tagging alleyways or watching trains roll by, or maybe they just carry the spirit of rebellion in quieter ways. They’re drawn to art that moves—visually and emotionally—and they don’t want perfect. Not only that, but they want truth, texture, and the kind of beauty that’s earned, not curated.

It belongs in a space where stories matter—where conversation starts with, “Where did you get this?” and ends with, “Let me tell you why it matters.”
