About the Item
Framed work
On a white background, JonOne interprets dense, modern calligraphy in black. The repetition of free-form shapes and the dripping effect create a dense, expressive motif. This ink was used as a model for the serigraph series published the same year by Speerstra Gallery and Paul Bourquin.
Certificate of authenticity
JonOne, whose real name is John Andrew Perello, is an American artist of Dominican origin, born on November 17, 1963, in New York. He is internationally recognized for his contribution to contemporary art, particularly in the fields of street art and abstraction.
From a young age, JonOne was fascinated by graffiti and urban artistic expressions that flourished on the streets of New York in the early 1970s. He began painting graffiti on the streets of his hometown at the age of 17, quickly becoming a major player in the New York graffiti scene.
In the 1980s, JonOne decided to settle in Paris, where he continued to develop his unique style. He created bold and colorful works, blending elements of graffiti with abstraction, exploring the fusion of urban energy with more abstract forms and colors. This fusion became his artistic signature, allowing him to stand out in the world of contemporary art.
Over the decades, JonOne has gained international acclaim through exhibitions in prestigious galleries and museums around the world. His work has been showcased in Paris, New York, London, Tokyo, and many other cities, attracting the attention of collectors and art enthusiasts worldwide.
In addition to his canvas works, JonOne has also collaborated with fashion brands, musicians, and companies to create unique artistic projects. He is known for his artistic versatility, transitioning from street art to canvas painting, from abstract calligraphy to colorful expressionism.
JonOne continues to push the boundaries of his art, exploring new ideas and concepts while remaining true to his artistic roots. His work symbolizes the ever-evolving nature of contemporary art and its ability to transcend cultural and geographical boundaries. JonOne remains a major artist in the world of contemporary art, whose influence endures and inspires new generations of artists.
Jonone
Raised in Harlem during the heyday of graffiti art and hip-hop culture, JonOne creates oil on canvas paintings that reflect the culture of freestyle street art. Born John Andrew Perello, JonOne began tagging the streets of New York as a teenager in the early 1980s. After gaining notoriety and assembling his own tagging crew, JonOne relocated to Paris in the 1980s and began collaborating with the French artist Bando; he also began painting in oil on canvas, a practice that became an important part of his work in subsequent years. Although removed from the street, his studio work retains the same uninhibited energy as his graffiti-inspired work, boasting boldly colored, stylized calligraphy arranged in allover compositions that reflect the artist’s understanding of both urban walls and the space of the canvas.

Difficult Furniture (toity)
By Mark Masyga
Located in New York, NY
24"x30" oil, graphite on canvas, signed on reverse by the artist. This contemporary abstract painting by New York artist, Mark Masyga is visually laid out with painted lines of color intertwined and layered on top of each other. The neutral warm grey ground is activated by the multiple layers of paths of blues, beige, cream white, dark greys and near blacks, interspersed with fine curved and bent lines of light green, orange, lavender and rose pink. This is an engaging linear abstract painting with an immense visual depth of field. This painting is featured in a solo show released by the Front Room Gallery in New York, entitled, "Charitable Deceptions".
In this new body of work, the title “Charitable Deceptions,” refers to a passage written by Gabriel García Márquez in which, “…memory eliminates the bad and magnifies the good.” Mark Masyga ruminates on this concept through his process of addition and subtraction in his compositional constructions.
