I’d come across Jef Aerosol on the Wooster Collective blog, at first scan I had actually thought it was Bansky..in any case, it prompted me to dive a little deeper. Turns out he had his New York City debut at the Adhoc gallery in Brooklyn just this past week, the show which opened on January 29th will go through till February 21.
While I would have to say his work lacks the serendipitous/deliberate combination and context that is so marked in Bansky’s work, he’s equally skilled in the art of the stencil. The Brooklyn Street Art site actually shows the steps of each stencil for his latest portrait, a tribute to the Empire State, featuring Jay-Z and a testament to the man’s painstaking skills.
As an aside, what’s the deal with Carlito Brigante aka Charles le Brigand for the Godfather of Soul?
