This one-of-a-kind acrylic, spray paint, and colored pencil painting on canvas is 36 inches high by 60 inches wide. It is signed by Brown on the front and back. The artwork is wired and ready-to-hang. It does not require framing. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included.

Danny Brown is a first-generation American urban artist born in Los Angeles. His parents relocated their family from Oaxaca, Mexico in search of opportunities in the United States. Brown uses his interest in fashion as well as his knowledge of color, design, and culture as inspiration for his paintings. The loss of friends to violence and incarceration, combined with the loss of a family member to gang violence pushed Brown to use art as a source of therapy and to project a positive inspiring image for his community.

Brown’s art coalesces youth culture, art history, fashion, and American consumerism and melds them all to create his unique style. Instantly relatable and recognizable, his cathartic paintings represent contemporary issues as well as a demographic that is traditionally underrepresented in fine art. His works speak to young Americans and inspire a whole new generation of art collectors and admirers.

Since 2016, Daniel Brown has exhibited at MoMA PS1 in New York City, and various galleries in Los Angeles.
