EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Frederic Lewis takes us back to the gritty streets of New York City in the 1980s. In this snapshot, we are transported to an unidentified subway station where a 7th Avenue Express train car is showcased, completely engulfed in vibrant graffiti art. The chaotic explosion of colors and intricate designs on every inch of the train's exterior tells a story of rebellion, creativity, and urban culture. With all its doors flung open wide, inviting us into its mysterious world, the train stands as a symbol of freedom and defiance against societal norms. It represents a canvas for self-expression that transcends conventional boundaries. Each stroke of paint reveals the raw emotions and untamed spirit that once roamed these underground tunnels. Amidst the chaos, we notice a solitary lamp illuminating one corner while an unassuming pole stands tall amidst this visual symphony. These elements serve as silent witnesses to countless journeys taken by commuters who passed through this very station. Frederic Lewis captures not only an iconic moment in time but also showcases how graffiti can transform public spaces into living works of art. This photograph reminds us that even within seemingly mundane settings like subway stations lies immense beauty waiting to be discovered if we dare to look beyond what meets the eye.
