New York M-City

I first came across the insanely detailed, large-scale, black & white, architectural stencil work of Polish artist M-City at Planet Prozess in Berlin in 2007.

Upon returning to Berlin a year later, I saw his work in the context of the Urban Affairs exhibition (with Dolk and Emess in the background).

Conveniently, he'd also done a wall in the Friedrichshain neighborhood down the street from where I was staying.

Yet the wall that has impressed me the most to date was this collaboration with Sten and Lex at La Forge in the Belleville section of Paris.

M-City painted his first mural in New York shortly before Christmas (at a wall curated by Ad Hoc). For a terrific pano of the entire wall, check his page on Streetfiles.

Word has it he'll be back in New York after New Years. Stay tuned for further M-City updates...
