Cope2 - The Evolving Art of a Bronx Graffiti Legend

Cope2 - The Evolving Art of a Bronx Graffiti Legend. Cope2 is one of the pioneering artists from New York and founder of the KINGS DESTROY Crew. During the 80s and 90s, Cope2 became known for his limitless tagging. In this book, you will find 35+ years of Cope2's artistry in 208 pages filled with photos that depict the journey from the early works in the South Bronx to artworks in exhibitions around the world. Divided into four chapters; Subway Cars and Trains, Painted Walls, Bubble Throw Ups, and Gallery and Artworks, we see how his art goes through phases with different mediums, time and place. But the art is fundamentally the same; colorful, authentic and raw. The book also contains an interview with Cope2, about his life and career.

Cope2, or Fernando Carlo as he was born, got his start in graffiti thanks to his cousin, Chico 80, and has since become a recognized graffiti artist around the world. For over four decades, Cope2 has developed his artistry and made the journey from trains to exhibitions in Venice, Paris, Berlin and Hamburg, among others.
