*APC ART is pleased to present an exceptionally strong and visually explosive original painting by legendary graffiti icon SEEN (Richard Mirando), widely regarded as one of the most influential graffiti artists of all time.*

*Entitled “Bubble Tag” (Green and Violet Variant), this unique 1/1 painting was executed by the artist in 2026 at his Las Vegas, Nevada studio.*

*The work is executed in acrylic spray paint on canvas and is hand signed and dated en verso by the artist in black marker; “SEEN 2026.”*

*The unstretched canvas measures approximately 22” x 24”, while the stretched presentation size measures approximately 18” x 20”.*

*Importantly, this is not a print or reproduction — but rather a fully original painting directly from the hand of one of the true pioneers of graffiti culture.*

*This particular work is especially compelling due to its immediately recognizable stylistic motif and highly unusual color palette.*

*The electric combination of saturated neon greens layered against rich violet and magenta undertones creates an incredibly vibrant and visually aggressive composition — perfectly capturing the energy and movement that made SEEN one of graffiti’s most celebrated innovators.*

*The composition centers around SEEN’s iconic bubble lettering aesthetic — a visual language he helped pioneer during the formative years of New York subway graffiti in the 1970s and 1980s.*

*The thick black outlines, rounded forms, layered aerosol fades, and exaggerated dimensionality create a composition that feels simultaneously classic and contemporary.*

*Most notably, collectors will immediately recognize the legendary SEEN “graffiti star” motif incorporated at the lower portion of the “S” — one of the artist’s most recognizable and beloved stylistic signatures.*

*This star element has become deeply associated with SEEN’s historic subway works and studio paintings alike, functioning almost as a personal emblem within his graffiti vocabulary.*

*Works featuring strong examples of SEEN’s classic bubble tag compositions remain among the most desirable pieces within his studio output because they directly reference the visual language that established him as a global graffiti legend.*

*The balance of simplicity, movement, color, and aerosol mastery in this work is exceptionally strong.*

*Importantly, the canvas has now properly dried, though collectors will appreciate that the work still carries the unmistakable aroma of fresh spray paint directly from the artist’s studio — an authenticity and immediacy that collectors of original graffiti paintings deeply appreciate.*

*SEEN’s importance within both contemporary art and graffiti history cannot be overstated.*

*Often referred to as the “Godfather of Graffiti,” Richard Mirando helped define the visual culture of an entire movement, with his influence extending from New York subway culture into contemporary galleries, museums, fashion, and global urban art history.*

*For collectors seeking a fresh, investment-grade original by one of the true founders of graffiti art, this work represents an exceptional opportunity.*

*We are pleased to offer professional stretching services on maple wood stretcher bars for an additional $150.*

*The work is in hand and will ship immediately from the USA.*

*An absolutely iconic original SEEN painting with exceptional color, movement, and classic graffiti energy.*

*Proudly offered by APC ART.*
