If you live in New York or Los Angeles, chances are you’ve seen a mural or street piece from graffiti artist, Alec Monopoly. From larger commissioned work to cheeky, Banksy-esque stencil pieces, Alec’s art has penetrated the mainstream with his use of the familiar Mr. Monopoly character which Alec said was born as a form of social commentary toward the corruption on Wall St. in 2008.
In this solid video piece from HYPEBEAST, Alec explains his reasoning for moving to Los Angeles in 2006 and his need to create lasting art off the street to solidify his legacy. Check it out.
