FreeStyle Archityper 2
A Structural Intervention
Mare139 is a native New Yorker who began his art career by painting graffiti on trains in 1976. In 1985 he revolutionized the art form by creating a novel sculpture idiom. The first ever visual art commission for HHTF, Freestyle Archityper 2 embodies Mare 139’s vision for a series of ‘sculptural interventions’ in public & private spaces to incite community dialog about contemporary urban art and its affect on our landscape.
