New York – Born in 1968

COPE 2 is a self taught artist who is a celebrated legend contributing over 35+ years to the graffiti and  street art culture. One of New York City’s most prolific graffiti artists, he began tagging his name in the South Bronx in 1978. He developed his style painting his name cope2 on the NYC subways and streets of the Bronx creating graffiti productions and murals throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s and even today achieving international recognition for his distinctive authentic raw style.

In recent years Cope2 has been commissioned by Time Magazine, Converse, Adidas among others. His work has even crossed into the virtual realm with appearances in video games.

Today, you can catch Cope 2 in the studio painting, bringing his raw energy into abstract expressionist style masterpieces, intertwined with his trademark bubble letters and tags on canvases.
