EBN
Born in Brownsville Brooklyn NY. EBN grew up in the city over the 70s and into the 80s, experiencing all of the woes and greatness the city and it's people had to offer. It was during the late seventies EBN first discovered the colorful wonder of graffiti through the eyes of Brooklyn artists who were getting up painting entire trains (end to ends, top to bottoms etc).
ln the early eighties, Ebn caught the fever of GETTING UP and went by the name EISN. It was an attempt to break free of the letters of choice or words and its letters flowed well together. He watched writers like OE, AS2, P13 introduce their initials as a means of mass self promotion and released the term being ALL CITY .
While attending the legendary H.S of Art and Design in 82, Ebn officially made his entrance into the scene. By this time, Graffiti artist s before him were now in galleries leaving the trains to the next generation. He joined a city funded group ICRY that promoted Graffiti as an art form and in hopes to get it off the street. It was here Ebn met up with DOC.TC5, WEB.TC5, STAF127 and fellow school mates ABBYROC, 2CUTE and an endless number of others. He spent those high school years bombing trains and working his way into TC5. Though short lived and most of his work lost, he made his mark in the 80s on what was the last hurrah of hitting trains.
Today, EBN is currently working on a new series of paintings for showing in 2010, as well as a private project - Graffiti as architecture - which uses past experiences in graffiti with his understanding of its creative style and using all its 3D qualities. EBN has developed a style of design that is visually explosive in color and spatially functional as graffiti was back in the days.
