The artwork, titled “The Golden Child,” was created by artist Lee Quinones in 1986. This piece belongs to the Street art movement and falls within the graffiti genre.
“The Golden Child” depicts a powerful and dynamic image of a figure performing an aerial maneuver on a bicycle against a striking, vibrant background. The composition is rich with movement, as the figure appears to be defying gravity, reaching upwards with a hand while maintaining control of the bike. The backdrop features an atmospheric sunset with hues of orange and red blending into dark, shadowy clouds, creating a dramatic and almost surreal setting. Intricate, abstract designs and shapes weave through the lower section of the artwork, contrasting with the more realistic depiction of the figure and bicycle. This piece is a testament to Quinones’ mastery of graffiti art, showcasing both technical skill and an acute sense of dramatic visual storytelling.
