Portraits from Wynwood Miami, FL

Happy New Year !

by Frank Duval, french artist

I have already visited Wynwood in December 2013. I felt lonely in deserted streets around 2nd ave, but it was an amazing hunt and the murals were exceptional. Two years after, on a Monday afternoon, everything is totally different. No hunt this time, all is served on a tray. The crowds break out in streets because new restaurants and shops are emerging everywhere. Here, taking selfies in front of the murals seems to become the most popular activity...But as usual, the crowds stay in central area and even if Second avenue and 26th street are now in the way of gentrification, the surroundings still keep their soul. Just a few weeks after Art Basel 2015, there are so many new murals, I can't show all.... So today, I decided to focus on portraits.

Minutes from downtown Manhattan, on the other side of the Hudson river,

There is a lot to see in the streets just walking out of Grove street path station.
