New Art on the Malcolm X Street Canvas
New black and white contrast art on the abandoned storefronts on Malcolm X Boulevard, between Macon & MacDonough Streets. I don’t know when this was painted, but it wasn’t there a few weeks ago as I can recall. Does anyone know more about what inspired this or the artist?

Can’t shed any light as to the ‘when’,,but always happy to see a new addition of the blvd.
Given it’s current storefront vacancy situation MZBlvd always has seemed ideal to become a ALL MURALS ALL THE TIME kinda thang.
Hope this new mural spawns,,,,,,fast and furious.

I agree, I hope more of these murals appear. I wish all vacant storefronts (especially those with hideous pull-down metal contraptions) were festooned with art.

Thanks! I was trying to help answer The Progressive Southside’s question, so I looked up “Shaed” hoping to find some information but nothing came up. I never would’ve noticed the Gaia signature, so thank you for pointing it out! TPS will be happy to know find out who the artist is.

I do not know M-CITY’s art.
But Gaia is a great artist

good looking out GS3! note that i also searched shaed (and coucho too!). i thought the gaia signature was from artwork a few “layers” back. gaia’s artwork replaces a very colorful mural done by remed (i believe). this space would be a great association for the brooklynite gallery, which is right down the street.

@Brooklynite Gallery looking forward to the next show. I live right around the corner from those storefronts and I think this is a great way to let the neighborhood know that the next exhibit is coming soon.
