In my opinion I see art everywhere around me, from walking out my building to my final destination. This picture was taken back in October; I decided to walk around Bushwick to grab a bite to eat. I came across this chica (which means women in Spanish form) if you guys decide to visit her she located in Bushwick Brooklyn on Boerum and Bogart Street. As you can see the Mural was tagged by the artist himself “David Copper”. This is a 2D sprayed painted mural outside an abandon warehouse wall.  As a Viewer I can see a 12ft high image of a chica from the 90s popping her gum with her to cool for high school doorknocker earrings. It’s an image with cool color blends of pink, yellow and brown. I think the artist David cooper was trying to show a representation of BK Swag (The new generation’s alternative word for cool). David Coppers’ mural is a clear invite to his inner thoughts and emotions of his childhood memories in Brooklyn, which gives us a tangible form to the unknown. Thou self-expression is unique to the individual, I consider “Brooklyn Chic” a relatable piece to anyone who grow up in the inner city. I can recall memories when my older sister use the doorknocker earrings and use the boldest and brightest red lips stick they find. I recommend everyone to go and visit this amazing piece. It’s the only piece on the block that will make stop and pose in front of it. It may remind some of you of a throw back time.
