"St. Francis" after Caravaggio Print by Poesia

Futurist graffiti writer meets old world master.

Poesia, one of the most important artists of 2012 (so far), has finally made his stunning new work—which blends Old Master painting and graffiti—available in a print edition.

"St. Francis" after Caravaggio is the Bay Area artist's first release through 1xrun. The print will be available for one week only.

"'St Francis' after Caravaggio was painted as part of a series of paintings I have been working on since late 2010, says Poesia, "These old Master reinterpretations have evolved over the last 2 years from gestural abstract to fully rendered as this painting is."
