Taking inspiration from textiles and clothing, Woodside plays with various bold textures in an attempt to generate visual cohesion. In turn, he has transformed some of his own paintings into clothing pieces in select commissions with brands such as Adidas and OBEY. He believes that his pieces exude a kind of infectious optimism that is particularly powerful in his large-scale works.

Born in Miami, Woodside came to New York before he had even turned 20 in the hopes of pursing a career making films. Instead, what some people might like to call fate intervened, and he returned to a passion for art. After dropping out of school, Woodside took to the streets of New York City, covering it in his signature mishmash of colors and patterns, a little piece of the Sunshine State to brighten Manhattan’s grayest days. There is an optimism in Woodside’s work, one that’s clear in the artist’s personal day-to-day ethos, and one that has attracted the attention of private collectors and corporations alike.

This piece is quintessential to his most iconic phase in late 2010's. See less
