Curated by self-taught contemporary artist Leia Sands and veteran graffiti master Cose TDS, “Urban Perspectives” showcases a wonderfully diverse selection of urban artworks ranging from classic graffiti to present-day fine art. The image pictured above, “4 Elements of Hip Hop,” was fashioned by noted South Bronx-born Tats Cru member, BG183.

What a powerful blend of street art and fine art at Urban Perspectives—from BG 183’s raw graffiti energy to Valeri Larko’s detailed realism, all curated by Leia Sands and Cose TDS in such an accessible venue. You might also enjoy exploring Pedalisa Art, where we showcase cultural craftsmanship through mosaic Turkish lamps. I’d love to hear your thoughts if you take a look.
