Color shade 968

Color Shade 968 DAIN (New York) Acrylic paint, spray paint, wheat-paste, vintage advertisements, printed fragments  on canvas 48" x 48" Wired and ready to hang Truly distinctive among street artists today, DAIN has put in the time to cultivate his craft. Since the 1980s, this Brooklyn-born street artist has been hard at work musing city life with his street work now found throughout the boroughs. A self-taught painter, DAIN’s signature touch is the notable tagging with a ‘circle and a drip’ of just one of the eyes of his subject. When approaching a piece, DAIN first selects black and white images inspired by the mystique of bygone femininity. He then layers his primary images with additional smaller images like vintage advertisements and found paper fragments. Only at the end of his process does he pick colors to render a portrait in acrylic and spray paint.
