Post-Graffiti Abrstract Expressionism

Rene Gagnon calls himself a post-graffiti contemporary artist. His art (both on the street and on a canvas) is attempting to bridge the gap between urban graffiti and modern expressionism. Some of his works play off of well-known icons and pop art from the likes of Andy Warhol. His descriptions of his work are as volatile and layered as his images.
"As feelings are evoked from the written words and the often emotionally charged imagery I leave on the streets a physical manifestation builds to a point of overflow. Ultimately unleashing itself in a furor of uninhibited energy, where time and place become nonexistent. It is in this vitality that my artistic soul reveals itself and dances its way into a flurry of whirling paint and exploding spray paint cans."
You can follow him on his Twitter account which is rife with images.
