Museum of Graffiti’s Private Gallery in Wynwood will keep its doors open late during April’s Wynwood Art Walk to host famed artist Sandro “SEN2” Figueroa who grew up in Santurce, Puerto Rico, before moving to New York City in the 1980s during the golden age of graffiti. It was there that he made his mark with intricate wildstyle pieces on subway trains and throughout streets.   On April 11, 2026 , from 7pm to 9pm , The Private Gallery will unveil a body of new works that demonstrate how SEN2 brought graffiti into the fine art world, blurring the lines between the two. His color palette ranges from striking grayscale works to paintings bursting with bright, glossy color. Each piece incorporates elements of graffiti, paying homage to his roots while showcasing his ever-evolving and refined artistic identity.    Guests will enjoy a complimentary screen printing experience combining  SEN2’s art with Levi's® Trucker Jackets, available on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. This activity echoes the longstanding tradition of graffiti artists customizing their own jackets as wearable expressions of identity and rebellion. Levi's® has been an unwavering supporter of the Museum since opening day in 2019. This event and other ongoing initiatives continue that tradition into 2026, helping shape artist experiences and celebrating wearable expressions of identity and rebellion.   By ML staff.
