Between the Lines: SEEN

In this episode of "Between the Lines" we sit down with SEEN, the godfather of graffiti. SEEN tells us about painting on trains, his transition from concrete to canvas, living in Europe and his most recent show, "Old New York".

Legends never die! Respect from Poland!

Big up Seen..I'd love to see a docu on Duster... Now he was crazy with his wildstyle... ;)

[@BRILL-vb1jy]

I'll be honest, I've never been a fan of straight up graffiti style pieces on canvas. Graffiti will always look best in the street. However, these canvas pieces SEEN has been doing are actually really cool. There's no reason that a graffiti writer moving into galleries has to continue writing graffiti only doing on a canvas. I appreciate the fact that he's not letting himself be confined to a graf style, and instead is creating new concepts, working in abstract, sculpture, etc. Anyway, whatever this fucking legend wants to do is up to him, SEEN FOREVER.

Memories of New York, 70's & 80's. Keep On Painting! Whats with the bandage?

[@kenrickbaughman992]

I grew up in the 80s inner city kid myself from New Orleans anyways I remembered and followed this for this decades even when Subway Art and Spraycan Art was published by Henry Chalfant and Martha Cooper for getting all that raw footage that SEEN, so many others in that book before 1990 when I had both books. It was well documented too I got into graffiti at a young age and still do it to this day, im also a traveling tattooist!
