I'm the owner of the DV Warehouse and Toy Art Gallery in L.A., I'm downsizing & selling works from my private collection, I have over 1500 art pieces within my collection and I'll be getting new pieces listed as time permits. If you're in L.A. please stop by our corporate office in Hollywood to check out the collection in person or you can also see my portfolio on the artwork archive site, just search my name Gino Joukar on Google and it should be one of the top results. For now, greatly appreciate you taking a look at one of my newest listing on eBay, i purchased this piece from Suru Gallery in L.A. and they had a celebrity show/auction to raise money for Riders in Health that deliver medicine to remote parts of Africa, so folks like Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park had taken part in the show, since Joe Hahn was good friends with the gallery owner/partner, https://ifitshipitshere.blogspot.com/2009/07/artist-decorated-brain-buckets-raise.html here's also a link that features more photos from that show, but lots of well known artists & celebrities were there that night and I have attached a few photos that I took that night there, so please help me find a good home for this exceptional piece, for now here's more info about its legendary artist: Futura (formerly Futura 2000), née Lenny McGurr, pioneered abstract street art in New York during the 1970s. While his contemporaries practiced traditional lettering, Futura combined text, imagery, thin aerosol lines, swaths of vibrant color, and a distinctive use of white space as he created dynamic, futuristic compositions; science fiction and computing technology have long informed his aesthetic. In the 1980s—alongside fellow artists Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Kenny Scharf—Futura began exhibiting works on canvas in fine art gallery settings. In the ensuing decades, he’s exhibited at such institutions as the New Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, and his work has sold for six figures at auction. Futura has also collaborated with fashion brands such as Supreme, Comme des Garçons, Nike, and Off-White. One of the founding fathers and key players of the graffiti movement, New York born and bred Futura grew up in Brooklyn in the early 1970s during the heyday of trainbombing. He started out tagging subway walls under the superhero pseudonym Futura 2000 (an ode to his favorite movie 2001: A Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick), and would go on to paint an entire subway train pioneering a radically expressive, signature style. This gained him a lot of traction and would become a catalyst, introducing a more abstract approach to graffiti and a shift away from the formerly letter-based art form. Together with the likes of Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring and Dondi White he belonged to a new generation of NYC artists. Today, something of a living legend, Futura is an acclaimed illustrator, photographer, sculptor, fashion and graphic designer who continue to straddle the line between street, commercial and fine art.
