JonOne | Spectre City

JonOne (John Andrew Perello, b. 1963)
Spectre City

Spectre City is among JonOne's most atmospherically charged original works — a painting in which the calligraphic energy that has defined his practice since his days writing graffiti on New York subway cars in the 1980s is deployed in service of a subject with genuine psychological resonance. The spectre city is the city as haunted space, the urban environment as accumulation of memory and absence, the place where what was is as present as what is.

JonOne — whose work is held in the permanent collection of the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris, who has created murals for the Louvre and the Palais Royal — brings to Spectre City the full authority of a practice developed over four decades in New York, Paris, and beyond. For collectors in Ascot, Windsor, Berkshire, Surrey, and London, this is an original work by one of the genuine legends of the graffiti and street art tradition. Available through Creed Gallery, Ascot.
