Analysis of the work
Admired, respected and considered a capital artist in graffiti art, he has greatly contributed to the development of Expressionism "aerosol". His work reflects the search for a symbiosis between American culture and that of his African origins. He fought the great Babylon , preaches unity, exalts its African roots and traces the mythology of the street sprinkled with musical resonances in a mystic and spiritual inclinations to Rastafarians. He provided some form of cross-cultural undivided, as Jean Michel Basquiat , who was his friend and adviser.
