Brooklyn-based graffiti artist Swoon, who is known for her wheatpaste prints and paper cutouts, is hitting her borough this summer with a number of new pieces. Swoon’s productions seem to be on the rise, as she was featured earlier this year in MOCA‘s “Art in the Streets”, and currently, her instillation Thalassa can be seen in the atrium of the New Orleans Museum of Art. Included in the new works that we’ve been seeing around Brooklyn, is a variation on her MOCA instillation (pictured above). I’m liking what I’m seeing and hope to see more of Swoon; be it in the streets or in museums.

World-renowned street artist Swoon has been known to paste walls with real-life scales of her subjects. This time, she’s blown it up. Unveiled last Friday at the New Orleans Museum of Art, Swoon’s Thalassa is a larger-than-life installation that hangs from the ceiling of the museum’s Great Hall. The 20-foot tall piece represents a female deity with extended tentacles rising from the waters. It was inspired by New Orleans’ ties to the sea and was made specially for the museum. Thalassa will be hanging there until September 25.
