While gentrification in New York and the politics of cleansing tend to erase legendary traces of graffiti that inspired artists all over the world, street art flourishes in Eastern European cities. Bucharest, Timisoara, Cluj, Arad are just some of the places where you can find works by Nuclear Fairy (Linda Barkasz), IRLO (Laurentiu Alexandrescu), and Omar (Marwan Anbaki). Their art, combining lowbrow esthetics, figurative graffiti and an unusual approach to text, gives life to grim walls and starts a dialogue with the medium, be it a phone booth, a billboard or a cardboard box. The artists, all in their early 20s, work both individually and collectively as Zacuska Senzual.
RCINY invited these artists for ten days in New York to leave their mark on the walls of the Romanian Gallery, to meet their peers and engage in collaborations.
