Mainly a street artist, Leon Reid (aka Darius Jones) took a vacation from creating street art to make these collages, part of a series called “Masterwork Remix.” The following is from his artist statement:

For the first time, I’ve granted myself the freedom to express personal views on sex, class, race and the history of painting. I begin by cutting up art-history and pop-culture magazines then letting my sentiments dictate the rest.

In creating the Remixes I’ve absorbed the work most noticeably of Kehinde Wiley, Goya, Ingres, Manet and countless others.

The four works above are all affordable pieces to add to your art collection and available for purchase now. Every piece is mounted on 9”x12” paper.

Leon was a part of the recent Meditations in an Emergency exhibition and also a solo show last Fall “We’re On It”, which debuted his street art with partner Brad Downey. He is one of New York’s most prolific young artists and have been noticed and appreciated by New York Times.

Buy some afforable art, it’ll do you good.
