I’ve long admired the bold graffiti style art on the dumpster at the corner of South 56th Street and South Sheridan. One side is abstract and the other gives homage to Vanessa, who lived between 1978 and 2003. I searched for information about this young woman, but had no luck. The art work is dated 2010.
This Mural was done by Plus One. It was his last before he died in a terrible car accident. He was and remains a very popular Graffiti writer. You can see some of his work on my blog post here:
