Details

Experience the essence of urban life through "Juvenescence" by Al Diaz, an exhibition in Montréal. Diaz's artworks, a blend of sculptures, mixed-media pieces, and signature text art, reflect on youth, nostalgia, and growing up in New York City. Each piece transports viewers to the streets of NYC, evoking memories of adolescence and the gritty reality of city living. With a career spanning five decades, Diaz, a first-generation subway graffiti artist known as "BOMB-ONE," collaborates with high school mate Jean-Michel Basquiat on SAMO©, contributing to the early hip-hop album "Beat Bop." His work blends traditional and contemporary styles, encouraging audiences to contemplate their own teenage years and the enduring impact of nostalgia. The exhibition serves as a poignant reminder that the essence of youth remains etched in our collective consciousness.
