Brian Lacey

This piece of original artwork comes ready to hang.

"10 Evergreen Avenue is based off of the 5th track on Nas' 2002 album The Lost Tapes and a direct tribute to the late artist Tania. The track No Idea's Original has an over arching message which states that original ideas have been exhausted and ingenuity is now at a point of recycling previous ideas that have already been explored.

Using this notion as the basis for the piece, I drew direct inspiration from the late artist Tania's 1968 mural in the Lower East Side of New York City which is known to be the first non-commercial public mural. I feel Tania's mural in conjunction with the theme expressed in No Idea's Original is highly relevant to the current state of contemporary art and the resurgence of murals." - Brian Lacey
