About: Growing up in the Bronx during the vibrant tumult of the 1960s and '70s, John “Crash" Matos embarked on his journey as a graffiti artist at the tender age of 13, armed with nothing but a can of spray paint and a boundless creative spirit. Venturing into the gritty canvas of New York City's subway yards, he immersed himself in the underground art scene, leaving his mark on the city's pulse by adorning subway trains with his iconic tag—CRASH. Undeterred by the economic challenges of the era, Crash's distinctive, blocky signature became a fixture of the subway landscape throughout the '70s and '80s, defining an era of artistic rebellion amidst urban turmoil. As the art world began to take notice, Crash's transition from the subway to the gallery was catalyzed by the support and encouragement of his contemporaries, most notably the influential Keith Haring. By the 1980s, Crash's explosive outdoor murals found a new canvas on the more contained planes of gallery walls, marking a pivotal moment in his artistic evolution. Yet, even amidst growing recognition and acclaim, Crash remains steadfast in his commitment to his craft, tirelessly pursuing commissions and collaborations that continue to push the boundaries of his creativity. Looking to the future with unbridled enthusiasm, Crash sees his path as one paved with endless opportunities for expression and exploration. With a mantra of "more work, more painting, more life," he embraces the journey ahead with the same passion and vigor that fueled his graffiti beginnings in the bustling streets of New York City.

Crash (John Matos) is a graffiti artist born in the Bronx on October 11, 1961. He is one of the major protagonists of the ?spray can (R)evolution?.
He starts to do graffiti while he is still very young, on the New York trains, before passing to canvas.
He joins the Sidney Janis Gallery in 1983. His works are acquired by the most important collections in the world, from the MoMA in New Yorks to the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
The public gets to know him when he co-produces, with Keith Haring, the Peter Stuyvesant advertising campaign. In France, he achieves fame after taking part in the 5/5 Figuration Libre exhibition France-USA at the Musée d'art moderne de la Ville de Paris in 1984. This exhibition featured the work of artists such as Basquiat, Boisrond, Combas, Keith Harring, Tseng Kwong Chi, Di Rosa... and John Matos Crash.
His style is close to comics, he uses flamboyant colors that remind us of the world of advertising and his works assert themselves as pure producs of the contemporary world. He is following the Pop Art lineage perfectly and raises again the so-called subculture to the status of ?high art?.
