Social Club Pink" depicts the romanticization of NYC and the effect of graffiti on the city and its commuters. Lady Pink pays tribute to the subway as both a lifeline of the city and a legendary canvas for generations of graffiti writers. An Ecuadorian American artist and a pioneer of the movement, she was one of the first women to rise in the male-dominated graffiti scene of the 1980s — and continues to imagine a city where art belongs to everyone.

The American artist based in Detroit is mainly known for an ongoing series of sketchbooks and photos documenting his travels within the United States. The original painting of this edition takes part in a series based on images of things Pat Perry saw for sale online. As he explains, “Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace are websites meant to serve a strictly practical purpose, but they are also repositories for strangeness. This series of paintings, based on images appropriated from these websites, muses on how real life is refracted when strangers use their phone cameras and social media accounts to sell things to each other online.”
