The Artist’s
Lens

Lee Quinones
Mr. Brainwash

Considered the single most influential artist to emerge from the New York City subway art movement of the early 70s, Lee painted an estimated 115 MTA subway cars. The shadowy legend later used the Lower East Side as his graffiti canvas. When asked to create a master tribute to his beloved neighborhood, Lee created a 40 x 16 ft ceiling mural: "Voices carrying". The mural is Lee’s bird's eye view of the Lower East Side. The central polaroid, influenced by a Harvey Wang photo, features the legendary homesteader resident, radical individualist, and environmental activist David Wilke, a.k.a. Adam Purple, who created a community garden out of 5 abandoned plots of land, later dubbed Purple’s Garden of Eden.

Sculptures by revered street artist Mr. Brainwash, on loan from his “Life Is Beautiful” pop-up gallery, bring a cultural moment into the Hotel Indigo. The sculptures complement and commemorate the long, storied history of street art in the Lower East Side. Let these sculptures spark a thought of beauty in your life, or just in your day, at the Hotel Indigo.

Mr. Brainwash, known for his fusion of pop and street art, draws inspiration from artists ranging from Andy Warhol to Banksy—creating references to art within his art.
