Rendered in groundbreaking artist Justin Bua’s unique signature style of Distorted Urban Realism, “El Guitarrista” portrays a street guitarist from the richly Latin culture of his Upper West Side New York neighborhood. Profoundly influenced by gritty urban life and potent Hip-Hop culture, Bua also pursued a formal art education, in addition to his street schooling in graffiti and break dancing. World-renowned, Bua, who teaches art at the University of Southern California, creates revolutionary images that equalize the rich, the poor, heroes and underdogs.
