The works presented in Outside Inside emerge from Strappo, a process developed by Entes to extract his murals directly from the walls on which they were painted. Through this act of removal, images once destined to disappear are preserved and given a new life beyond the street.

Trace the evolution of the graffiti movement—from NYC’s streets and subways to the galleries—featuring never-before-seen UGA paintings originally debuted in 1973.

JonOne (John Andrew Perello) began his career as a graffiti writer painting trains in Harlem before rising to global recognition as a contemporary painter. JonOne’s solo exhibit El Tiguere, a Dominican street slang term evoking a hustler’s grit and resilience, pays tribute to his uncompromising survival instinct gained as a child.

The exhibition takes its title from a question the artist has encountered repeatedly throughout his career: Who authorized this? Asked while painting walls—both legally and illegally—the question has come from passersbys, curious observers, and those questioning whether the artist had the right to occupy a particular space. Over time, however, the question evolved beyond graffiti and became a broader inquiry into who establishes the rules we live by, where those rules come from, and why we accept them.
