Bill "Blast" Cordero / "WILD STYLE"

Original Painting by Bill "Blast" Cordero / 173cm x 40.5cm mixed media on canvas

Sometime in the early 90s, I was asked to photograph a promising young graffiti artist named Bil Blast.

I photographed Bil in my NYC studio and also photographed many pieces of his artwork on canvas. As payment for the photography, Bil gave me the piece "WILD STYLE" that I am now offering for sale.

The importance of this particular piece is that Bil shows the influence of Rammellzee and Rammellzee's theory about ikonoklast panzerism on Bill's work. This painting depicts a futuristic subway car that is armed with rockets and machine guns for protection against what I am not sure. Zombies, I suppose.

Featured on the subway car is the "leopard" face that was painted on the wall in a handball court in the Bronx and the logo of the influential Hip-Hop Film "WILD STYLE".

Note: This painting has a scratch and other wear on the edges. A restoration would be in order!
