From the Bronx to the Museums

John "Crash" Matos, born in 1961 in the Bronx, became involved in graffiti at a young age and developed a personal style influenced by comics and pop art. By the 1980s, his work had entered galleries and museums, making him a pioneer of old-school graffiti. His work, dynamic and authentic, celebrates artistic freedom. With Scrabble , he explores the expressive power of letters in vibrant compositions, blending visual rigor with urban spontaneity.
