BAY AREA , CA, UNITED STATES, December 23, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Flaunt magazine calls it the intersection of “street art meets prison art.” C-Note on Haring by Donald “C-Note” Hooker is a 9"x12" wax-on-canvas masterpiece that transcends boundaries, blending the artistic legacy of Keith Haring with the raw, socially conscious voice of Hip-Hop culture and prison art. This one-of-a-kind piece is available now for $15,000, making it the ultimate gift or cultural acquisition for the holiday season.

CULTURAL GRAVITAS: FLAUNT MAGAZINE'S SPOTLIGHT

In its feature "ICONS: Polaroid-Haring-C-Note, Street Art Meets Prison Art," Flaunt highlights the parallels between Donald “C-Note” Hooker and Keith Haring as “artivist icons.” Both artists use bold visuals and cultural movements to challenge systemic injustices, with C-Note’s prison-born artistry offering a raw, unfiltered perspective on resilience and resistance.

According to Flaunt, C-Note’s work builds on Haring’s legacy of incorporating Hip-Hop, street art, and activism into visually dynamic pieces that resonate with urgency and purpose. C-Note on Haring reflects a powerful lineage of art as a force for social change.

“Donald ‘C-Note’ Hooker’s C-Note on Haring is a masterpiece that bridges two cultural revolutions—Haring’s vibrant activism and the untapped creativity emerging from America’s prison system,” Flaunt writes.

TIED TO NICOLE FLEETWOOD'S GROUNDBREAKING RESEARCH

Adding further gravitas to the piece, Dr. Nicole Fleetwood—renowned author of the award-winning book Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration—was photographed holding C-Note on Haring following her seminar at Mills College. Fleetwood’s work explores the transformative power of prison art in reclaiming humanity and resisting the dehumanization of the prison-industrial complex.

Fleetwood’s scholarship has earned her numerous accolades, including the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Smithsonian American Ingenuity Award, and recognition as a Pulitzer Prize finalist. Her connection to C-Note on Haring places the artwork within the context of her groundbreaking research, amplifying its significance as a cultural artifact.

“C-Note on Haring is not just a painting; it’s a bridge between two worlds—artistic activism and the resilience of the human spirit,” said Anna D. Smith, also known as the “Queen of the Underground Art World.”
