COVE is a Chicago graffiti writer, painter and collage maker. The characters in his paintings come directly from his graffiti scene experience. His collage work holds true the line quality and color theory of his graffiti aesthetic.
“Collage work is faster than painting. So long as I have a base to start with, once the base is there and I’m building a piece, if I have good paper, good textures, the right color, the right feeling you get when using the right combinations of colors. Its so exciting. There is a rush of energy when you’re building a piece and it starts to pull you in a new direction.”
