Lenox Square: Artworks on Display: Explore the Current Space

American contemporary artist Raster creates sculptures that blend pop culture, street art, and character design into bold contemporary forms. Drawing inspiration from skate culture, gaming, and the visual language of urban art, Raster’s work captures a sense of nostalgia that resonates across generations.

At the center of his practice is the original character “Scrappy,” a rebellious figure that reflects the artist’s upbringing and the energy of street culture. Through sculpture, Raster transforms this character into a physical presence, playful yet slightly confrontational, bridging the worlds of collectible design, pop art, and contemporary sculpture. Raster’s sculptures have been exhibited internationally alongside leading contemporary artists including Banksy, Takashi Murakami, and Mr. Brainwash, reflecting the artist’s position within the global pop and street art movement.

Eric Alfaro is a Cuban artist based in the United States who is primarily known for his prolific portraiture. Eric Alfaro dives into human sensibilities through tender, intentional motions that ultimately reveal realistic paintings. His technical mastery and keen-sightedness capture true gesture; a personal seal that despite being figurative, does not lack space and sense. 

Alfaro is quickly gaining reputation as the Modern-Day Monet; transforming oil paint with his spatula into unforgettable imagery. Not only does the sensational impasto texture lure curiosity, but his marriage of color and contrast creates a profound perception of dimension.
