Abstract

B-Boy Abstracts is an artistic project started in 2005 by artist and scholar Carlos Mare (alias Mare139). The project connects the graffiti/style writing tradition with high-end modernist art history as well as the art of breaking, and where the artist is rethinking breaking as a form of abstract art, as sculpture, drawing, painting and graphic prints. The text is an artistic statement by Mare139 on the background of B-Boy Abstracts, and on how he has looked to modernist art history in his quest of finding a language to visualize hip hop’s dance elements.
