WORDS Michaela Stehr VIDEO Walley Films on Vimeo
This video shows how talented artist Michael De Feo, a.ka. The Flower Guy, went from painting graffiti flowers to creating large-scale installations.
When he received a key from a friend that allowed him to open up the advertising cases at bus stops, Michael initially replaced the images with work of his own. He then decided to use advertisements inside as a canvas for his new pieces.
The commercial pieces are transformed into vivid and monumental works of art, now exhibited through the windows of the Rice Gallery in New York.
His exhibition, Crosstown Traffic, will be on show through the windows of the currently closed Rice Gallery until 28 August 2016.
