a monk mediating in space: Acrylic, airbrush and spraypaint converge in this 2016 piece — a bold fusion of controlled gradients and raw urban energy. Layered airbrush creates smooth, photorealistic transitions; spraypaint adds texture, depth and streetwise immediacy. Finished with a protective varnish and signed by the artist, the work balances polished technique with graffiti-rooted spontaneity. A statement of contemporary mural practice condensed onto canvas: precise, gritty, and unmistakably alive.
A monk meditating in space anchors the composition — serene, robed silhouette floating against a cosmos of layered color. The acrylic base gives structure to the form; airbrush gradients render soft light spilling across fabric folds and the subtle glow of distant stars. Spraypaint gestures—drips, halos, and granular fades—inject movement and the rawness of the street, suggesting cosmic winds and urban echoes at once.
This canvas marries technical discipline with improvisational mark-making: photorealistic highlights meet aerosol textures, crisp edges meet spontaneous overspray. The piece reads as both a quiet spiritual study and a loud urban proclamation—a contemplative figure in orbit, at home between studio precision and subway grit.
