This work from the The Forgotten Past series captures the collision of luxury and decay. The photograph shows a damaged car — once a symbol of wealth and status. Over it, the artist’s graffiti transforms the accident scene into a visual commentary on the fragility of modern prosperity. There is no drama here, only fact: everything created by humans is subject to time, chance, and oblivion. The artist neither condemns nor mourns — he simply records the moment when the familiar loses its form and meaning, leaving space for new interpretation.

About the artist

Reon blends street art with the aesthetics of analog photography, crafting visual stories where each frame is filled with the atmosphere of a specific moment — its emotions, light, the noise of the city, and its beautiful imperfections. Since 2014, he has been exploring two creative paths — graffiti and film photography — developing them in parallel and gradually merging them into a singular artistic expression. In his work, the urban landscape is not just a backdrop, but an active participant in the dialogue between image and street gesture. His goal is to offer viewers a glimpse into graffiti culture while capturing the atmosphere and emotional tone of moments frozen on film. In 2025, Reon held a street art exhibition in collaboration with tcp375, where he also presented his genre-blending experiments. The gallery is proud to present Reon — an artist whose vision of the city is both raw and deeply sensitive. In his work, the street speaks — and its voice is rendered in the grain of the photo.
