Seen back in London

April 7th, 2008

Old school graff legend Richard ‘SEEN’ Mirando is back in London this month after his show late last year at Stolenspace. He is opening another solo show titled “Graffiti Loser” on the 18th of April at Amuti Gallery. The show features a series of 40 new works painted on to original New York Subway maps.

Here is a really interesting statement from the man himself:

“There were times I felt like a loser. I allowed myself to give my audience what
they wanted to see. Its been 35 years of writing graffiti and I’m tired, very tired, of taking the same letters and flipping them to appear different than they really are. I had the chance to change gradually through the years but I didn’t, I fell victim to the system and allowed myself to be labelled when there’s so much more I have to offer.” -SEEN

I really like the depth of this. Looking forward to checking it out.

A full colour catalogue is available from AMUTI during the exhibition as well as signed limited edition posters.
