Jonathan Levine

"To commemorate the 10th Anniversary of 9/11, street artist WK collaborates with New York City firefighters to create a large-scale public mural, measuring 328 feet (100 meters) wide. Full of passion and motion, his images of the iconic firefighter (NY’s bravest) symbolize the many heroes that helped New Yorkers survive the tragic events of 2001, and how their courage inspired the world.

WK was born in Caen, France. He has lived and worked in NYC for the past 20 years. He feels grateful and proud to be a French New Yorker. With this mural he wishes to pay tribute to all the heroes of 9/11 and give something back to the city of New York..."

WK INTERACT: Q&A

Here is video footage shot by George Koroneos of an exclusive speaking engagement with WK during his book signing event on 07.01.09. In this rare Q&A session, WK Interact answers questions from guests in attendance about his current solo exhibition Motion Portrait at the Jonathan LeVine Gallery, as well as his experience as a street artist living in New York for the past 16 years.
WKs iconic wheatpaste graffiti can be seen covering virtually every surface in New York City, not to mention every known country worldwide.
