The piece was commissioned by the incoming Thai restaurant Chongkho
The work contains elements signature to JPO pieces
Grand Street received yet another original work from a well-respected street artist last week when artist JPO (John Paul O’Grodnick) painted the gate of the former site of Desy’s Clam Bar.
JPO is a NYC based artist whose art appears across the city, in galleries, and even in clothing lines. His paintings can be easily recognized by the abstract puzzle-like shapes of people depicted in vibrant color. His art has been used by the Governor’s Ball music festival and GAP, and his work can be found in DUMBO, Little Italy, and various NYC locations.
The incoming Thai restaurant Chongkho commissioned the work, bringing the district its 11th new mural this year. See other notable works by JPO here and follow him @JPOart. Follow us @grandstreetbid for the most up to date news on our arts initiatives.
