The Narratives Of Street Art - with John CRASH Matos

This week, Steven talks to street artist and legendary New York graffiti artist, John CRASH Matos, whose mural works upon subway cars and dilapidated New York buildings is now regarded as one of the pioneering movements of the street art movement. KEY TAKEAWAYS All artists are the result of a story that brought them to the moment in their life where expression was needed. Sometimes it's best to be educated in the stories behind the artists in order to fully appreciate their work. As an art form becomes more refined and accepted, its raw energy becomes diluted. Working because you're passionate about something is very different to working on a commission. In order to make a success of ourselves, the story has to begin with hard work. We have to keep giving away equity until the quality of what we offer becomes synonymous with our name. In the next year, street art, and the unrecognised heroes of the movement, are due to have their time, especially considering that art is now being seen as a safe haven in terms of financial investment. BEST MOMENTS 'It was the narratives that hooked me' 'That was taking what we wore and interpreting it in a different way' 'If you want to become a success you need to give value first' VALUABLE RESOURCES The Steven Sulley Study      Crash One - https://www.crashone.com ABOUT THE HOST The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn't be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships. As a person who has made a success in life and also made huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life. My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.
