In today's A Portfolio, we look at the hyperrealistic train graffiti paintings of Tim Conlon. Whether creating canvases that depict details of iron freights with graffiti tags or recreating scale trains themselves, Conlon's work is about observation and movement.
His work has been featured in the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, Corcoran Museum, as well as the “BEYOND THE STREETS” exhibits in both Los Angeles and New York, and Sotheby’s first Hip Hop auction. He was also a producer for SHOWTIME’s freight train graffiti documentary, “Rolling Like Thunder.” Conlon lives and works in Los Angeles, California.
