John Crash Matos
American, b. 1961
Born John Matos in 1961, CRASH was raised in the Bronx, New York. At the age of 13, he began following the older teens from his neighborhood to the train yards and began bombing. Taking the name “CRASH” after he accidentally crashed the computer in his school, his name began appearing on trains circulating all throughout New York City. By 1980, he began transitioning from train yards to galleries. He curated the groundbreaking "Graffiti Art Success for America" at Fashion MODA, launching the graffiti movement that has remained very active through today. CRASH’s career took off and he saw instant popularity throughout Europe and America, and eventually Asia. CRASH has been part of numerous museum and gallery shows around the world focusing on Graffiti and Street Art, and has works in many permanent museum collections. Visually iconic, he has partnered with many companies for projects including Absolut Vodka, Fender Guitars, SoBella Handbags, Levi’s, and most recently, Tumi luggage and Morphik. He continues to work and show both locally and internationally. Enjoy the awe and power of CRASH! to

Diversity in Carapace: A Study of Turtle Patterns and Colors, 1845
Located in Langweer, NL
This print depicts three turtles, each with distinct patterns and colors on their shells and skin:
1. **Top Turtle**: This turtle has a relatively dark shell with light markings that emphasize the ridges of the scutes (the individual plates that make up the turtle's carapace or shell). The plastron (the belly part of the shell) appears to be lightly colored with dark seams. The skin of the turtle is striped with light and dark bands, suggesting a pattern that may help with camouflage or identification among species.
2. **Bottom Left Turtle (labeled 'a')**: This specimen has a shell with a more vibrant green color and bold, light-colored markings. The plastron is red with a symmetrical pattern, which is quite distinctive. This coloration may be characteristic of a particular species or could be an artistic interpretation to highlight anatomical details.
3. **Bottom Right Turtle (labeled 'b')**: The shell of this turtle is green with a lighter central area and dark borders on the scutes, while the plastron is a contrasting red with a white pattern. The green color extends to the skin, with lighter stripes on the limbs.
The print shows illustrations of turtles, and it seems to label them as "Emys picta" and "Emyde peinte," which could refer to painted turtles...
