I was flipping through the latest Art News when I caught a familiar style and motif in one of the ads. Checking out the advertised site later, I was greeted with a little more than I expected…
Click on the following finely crafted link and check out the painting “Nom De Plume” by Tony Curanaj.
Back?
His work is phenomenal as usual but I love the easter egg up in the left hand corner.
That’s where it’s at.
I met him a few months back and I was definitely geeked out when he talked about that idea, so to see it in full bloom is five flavors of awesome. I’ve messed around with that idea- subtly inserting pure graffiti into the background of “traditional art*,” but that’s a whole different level.
**I just noticed his name was spelled wrong on the site I linked to. Someone needs an editor.

yeah Tony is incredible. I’m dying to see more of that mixture he was talking about that night. I remember him telling me he was working on a new gas mask painting. That shit is just insane.
