Huetek

The 14th Annual Bushwick Collective Block Party brought a wonderfully diverse array of local, national and international artists to Brooklyn’s iconic outdoor gallery. The image featured above — a masterly fusion of realism and graffiti — was painted by Lima, Peru native Roberto Seminario aka Sef1. A tribute to Bushwick Collective founder and curator Joe Ficalora, it portrays Joe as a child, playing with his cousin Frank — with Joe’s mother in the background. Several more images from the Bushwick Collective‘s new walls follow:

Marking its 10th anniversary, the Bushwick Collective held its hugely popular block party last weekend. Sharing their visions and talents with us, dozens of local, national and international artists refashioned the walls of this now-renowned site, founded a decade ago by Joe Ficalora. The image above — celebrating the event — was painted by the prolific Brazilian artist Sipros. Several more photos of these murals — all captured by Queens-based photographer Anna Jast — follow:
