American, b. 1955 Untitled (Pointman), circa 1991 Signed with artist's mark and inscribed Return To Burn! (ll) Ink on paper 5 5/8 x 3 7/8 inches As a teen in the 1970s Lenny McGurr (better known as Futura 2000), was coating the subways in his signature graffiti style. By the early 80s he was taken under the wings of Keith Haring and Jean-Michel-Basquiat. As Futura continued forward, his style informed graffiti culture exponentially, even crossing over into design and fashion for brands like Nike, Levi's and Supreme. One of the first Street Artists to begin referencing Abstract art, Futura's classic "Pointman" character still retains its original inspiration from Japanese Manga (ie: animation and comics like Robotech and Gatchaman), even as his style of painting has evolved dramatically.
