the way i see it

from coronado printstudio

This exhibition was made possible by the never ending wonder of what individuality is all about.  What do we know about individuality..? Personally, I don’t think I could ever articulate my thoughts, understanding, or perceptions about “individuality“ in a way that would make much sense.  

However, I believe that through art, I can get closer to expressing, communicating, and sharing my own version of “the way i see it.” And I hope, in organizing this show, that the superb print works of 12 amazing artists from the Coronado print studio will offer an opportunity for many people to encounter the ways others see and reflect on their own views.

COCO transitioned from subway writing onto canvas and cofounded the collective United Graffiti Artists (UGA).  In 1973, he introduced subway aerosol writing in groundbreaking show at the Razor Gallery in Soho.  This pivotal event shifted the public's perception of graffiti and ushered in a new art form that would become a global cultural phenomenon.
