*APC ART is proud to present “SEEN JUMBO BUBBLES” (Pink & Blue Variant), an extraordinary and highly important unique work by the legendary graffiti pioneer SEEN (Richard Mirando). Executed in March 2026 at the artist’s Las Vegas studio, this one-of-a-kind painting is rendered in acrylic spray paint on canvas and is hand signed en verso “SEEN! 2026” in black ink. The work measures an impressive 26 × 84 inches.*

*This is a truly special and rare example of SEEN’s iconic “Jumbo Bubbles” style — a visual language that helped define graffiti at its peak in the 1980s. Works in this format are exceptionally difficult to find as studio paintings, particularly examples of this scale and quality. This piece captures the raw energy of SEEN’s subway-era lettering while translating it into a refined, collectible format.*

*The color palette is nothing short of spectacular. Electric pink bubble forms expand across the canvas with a luminous, almost airbrushed softness, contrasted by deep blue outlines and a vibrant turquoise ground. The interplay between these tones creates a sense of depth and movement that feels both nostalgic and strikingly contemporary. The work radiates energy — bold, immersive, and unapologetically alive. Owning this piece is akin to installing a temple of graffiti in your home — a direct portal to the golden era of New York street culture.*

*SEEN — born Richard Mirando in the Bronx — is widely regarded as the “Godfather of Graffiti.” He began painting subway cars in 1973 at just 12 years old after seeing painted trains on the Lexington Avenue line. He chose the name “SEEN” because he wanted to be seen by everyone — and he was. By the late 1970s and early 1980s, his work dominated the New York subway system, becoming one of the most recognized names in graffiti history.*

*In 1981, SEEN participated in the groundbreaking “New York/New Wave” exhibition at MoMA PS1 — one of the most important art exhibitions of the decade — where he exhibited alongside Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Keith Haring. This moment marked a historic transition of graffiti from the streets into the institutional art world.*

*In 1985, SEEN famously scrolled his name across the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles, further cementing his legend. That same year, he exhibited internationally in Tokyo with the Suntory Company and in Amsterdam at the Yaki Kornblit Gallery. While achieving global recognition, he never abandoned his roots — continuing to paint, bomb, and push the culture forward.*

*His work has since been exhibited at major institutions worldwide including the Grand Palais in Paris, Fondation Cartier in Paris, the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Copenhagen, and The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. Today, SEEN remains active — a living legend whose influence continues to shape contemporary art and street culture.*

*SEEN’s works are collected by major private collectors, institutions, and cultural figures globally. From early graffiti pioneers to contemporary art investors, his work represents the foundation upon which an entire movement was built.*

*“SEEN JUMBO BUBBLES” stands as a pure and powerful expression of that legacy. It is both a historical artifact and a living work of art — bridging the raw energy of 1970s and 1980s subway graffiti with the refined presence of contemporary studio practice.*

*Works of this caliber — particularly unique examples in this iconic style — are exceedingly rare and increasingly sought after by collectors. As the market for early graffiti pioneers continues to strengthen, museum-quality works by SEEN represent a compelling and important investment opportunity.*

*The work is in hand in the United States and will ship immediately.*

*A breathtaking, museum-worthy example from one of the most important figures in the history of contemporary art.*
