This past weekend — on one of winter’s chilliest days — we hit Bushwick, where we caught some new images and revisited others.

Some wonderful walls have recently surfaced in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Here is a sampling:

Within the same 10-block radius of Bushwick’s vibrant graffiti walls are some of NYC’s most expressive street art pieces. While many are fashioned by locals, others are the work of artists from abroad who leave their mark on Bushwick’s walls. These range from C215’s 2009 seductive stencils – some of which we’ve only recently uncovered — to huge pieces by ROA on some of Bushwick’s grittier walls.

While Roa’s huge, wondrous black and white murals continue to grace massive walls in New York City, one of his smaller pieces can be seen mounted onto the walls of the Jonathan LeVine Gallery in Manhattan’s Chelsea gallery district. Hybrid Thinking a group exhibition curated by Marc and Sara Schiller of Wooster Collective, features Roa’s signature animals painted on multiple panels. We were riveted.
