ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
This piece was hand embellished by the artist.

Like his contemporaries, Keith Haring and Daze, Crash's work was discovered in a most unconventional way, through the murals he spray painted on subway cars, handball courts and the walls of buildings in dilapidated neighborhoods. These massive and spontaneously executed murals reflected the raw energy of the urban street culture of which these artists were a motivating force. Using the subways as his launching pad, Crash (John Matos) established a visual link between the 'underground' and the 'above-ground'.
Crash found a new and aesthetically sophisticated audience for his work, first at the innovative alternative spaces in the Bronx and East Village and later at some of the most important showcases for established artists. Crash had been featured in dozens of one-man and group shows at galleries and museums around the world. Crash's paintings, watercolors and prints show the influence of a number of pop artists, including Lichtenstein, Rosenquist and Johns, yet they are convincingly original, retaining the power and humor of the hip-hop era.
Crash's works are in museums such as the Gronninger Museum, Groningen,Holland, The Ludwig Museum, Kassel, Germany, and many private as well as public collections .
