To all of you who love hanging out at Don Hills or all other
Rock’n’Roll places, you have to know this guy!! Harif Guzman, a Venezuelian-born artist who lives and works in the City. He’s the one who painted Don
Hills’ walls. His work, extremely seductive, very sensual, full of jokes and
pornographic connotations totally matches with the New York underground art
scene. A perfect mix with street art and graffs that rejects the “glamorized
bohemian that floods downtown Manhattan”.
Funny and crazy at the first sight, his work is definitely
deeper and more intense. He ridicules some “cliché” that make our society kind
of frivol even stupid sometimes. Look at the Karl Lagerfeld’s picture: he’s
represented between two huge penises! Provocative and authentic, his work is
the reflection of the way he lives, works and thinks. Drinking beer and listening to rock'n'roll music in his loft downtown was a very cool experience! Paintings, sculptures and installations are all over the place. Can't wait to see the new studio...
Love is dead!! Rock'n'Roll baby...
Love him/his work/this blog.
