"PORTRAIT OF A TIBETAN MONK"

by Adnate

As I enjoy the opportunity to travel and document street art I'm fascinated and sometimes disturbed in trying to understand why some works get tagged and other remain unscathed. In an area like Bushwick, Brooklyn, once synonymous with urban decay and now home to the work of many world-class artists it's even more interesting to look at the differing levels of respect awarded to neighboring pieces. This stunning work by hyper-realist Australian artist Adnate is clear evidence that the issue isn't simply the quality of the work, but perhaps has more to do with the politics of who is given the wall or how it reflects the community—something I'll continue to ponder. In the meantime the tagging over the lower portion of this 2014 painting on St Nicholas Ave. does little to mask how far Adnate has come from his beginnings in graffiti or why The Sydney Morning Herald refers to him as a street art luminary.  @adnate  @thebushwickcollective​  ​
