His train pieces painted from roughly 1977 to 1982 stand as some of the most influential works ever committed to Transit Authority steel. Writing with legendary partners such as DURO, NOC 167, KID 56, KEL 139, and FUZZ ONE, Dondi created some of graffiti art's most enduring iconography. His pieces just don't stop -- and neither do the aliases. From the badass Mr. Whites to the cocky, self-satisfied Busses, from the nasty Pres to the perfect, vicious Rolls, Dondi straight killed it, again and again.

In making the transition from subway car to canvas, Dondi retained his unfaltering sense of letter form and balance, and his paintings remain a testament to the clarity of his aesthetic. Dondi's canvases were subsequently shown in galleries from New York to Amsterdam to Tokyo and beyond, influencing a new generation of young artists and introducing an indigenous American art form to the rest of the world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eDondi White: Style Master General\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e presents the life and work of a seminal -- yet heretofore overlooked -- American artist whose work has resonated on every level of our popular culture.

It’s impossible. The writer hiding behind these five obsessively repeated letters – who has been so much talked about in Milan and Italy – comes out into the open. And with him the whole universe of street art that has surrounded him for a decade. Acts of Vandalism \u0026amp; Stories of Love is an unprecedented photographic voyage, the actual backstage dynamics of the irrepressible obsession to tattoo the city’s skin. Born in the 70’s, Dumbo grew up in the southern suburbs of Milan and came into contact with the world of graffiti in the early 90’s. In a short time he became one of the foremost writers on the European scene. In his extensive travels in Italy, Europe and the United States he came into contact with new situations that contributed to determining his tastes and personality and led him to give new form to his obsessive passion. Without abandoning street action he took a new artistic direction which resulted in participation, between 2001 and 2004, in various collective shows. In 2004 he presented his first solo exhibition in Milan, an event which aroused increasing media interest in this disturbing, ingenious and above all mysterious character. It wasn’t long before Dumbo became a subject of debate between public order institutions and contemporary art circuits. Dumbo represents everything that is right by doing everything that is considered wrong by a cultural system which goes on refusing to accept reality as it is and persisting in creating false and artificial ones.

Graffiti has always been an inherently dangerous, high-wire act - the execution of art in risky, often illegal situations. And one could argue for a strong parallel that exists between the classic graffiti writing s extensive use of bubbly, curvaceous shapes and the female form. The French born graf writer obsessively explores these tensions and parallels in Fetish Bubblegirls as he explores the world in search of beautiful young canvases on which to execute his art. Although this mission straddles the globe, there is a common thread that emerges as the most striking detail of the project - the openness and balance between innocence and playfulness and sexuality and the highly charged environment that all of the models inhabit.
