Street Vandal Turned Artist by Smetsky Art in New York
Street Vandal Turned Artist
Influenced by the likes of Obey, Ewok 5MH, Totem 2. Daim, and Banksy, Smetsky developed a unique style that melds urban grit with a refined artistic sensibility. His influences weren’t limited to just the street, however. As he’s advanced in his career, he’s been more and more inspired by some of his all time favorites such as Michelangelo, Mucha and Gaudi.
“It’s a paradox, I love the the new age art, especially the more vector-styled stuff, but it doesn’t challenge me nearly as much as the older stuff. I want to be the bridge that combines the new and the old” said Smetsky.
