NEW YORK, September 2, 2025 (CarryOnHarry.com)
– In the Heart of Tribeca, New York, One Art Space is proud to announce, “The Authenticity,” a group exhibition featuring 17 artists and curated by renowned graffiti writer Cope2. Participating artists include Shepard Fairey, Danny Cortes, Mark Bode, Scien and Klor / 123KLAN, Mqizm, Stash, Cope2, Valeri Larko, Joe Iurato, Eye sticker, Delta2, Dain, CortesNYC, Claytonles, Rebecca Marley, Wane One, and Indie184.
This exhibition, “The Authenticity,” balances Cope2’s international connections and decades-long career in the graffiti and fine arts world, including local street artists like Eye Sticker and graffiti writers like Indie184. “I feel that what they do is authentic. Every artist is inspired by every other artist. Even me, I learned from graffiti writers in the ‘70s, but what these artists do that I like is they draw from other sources, but they’re still authentic,” says Cope2. Every artist in the show is inspired both by their individual experiences and the wider art community.
Visually, the work is tied together by bright colors and striking images such as Shepard Fairey’s iconic OBEY giant, Eye Sticker’s neon pink figurative abstractions that border on the absurd, or Mqizm’s mesmerizing graffiti mailboxes. Cope2’s taste emerges as bold colors and strong visions on both canvas and found materials.
Co-owners Mei Fung and MaryAnn Giella McCulloh (Co-Owner, Gallerist, and Curator) are looking forward to welcoming Shepard Fairey back to One Art Space after ten years. Original works by Shepard Fairey will be on view. Shepard Fairey stated that he is excited for his work to appear at One Art Space again and share the exhibit with this incredible lineup of New York artists. When there is so much inauthenticity in the world, this show promises to offer real, raw, and unedited experiences. “The Authenticity” will show how we celebrate our authentic selves, that’s when true connection emerges.
Bio: Cope2, born Carlo Jr. in New York City, is a graffiti artist whose work has appeared in exhibitions across the U.S. and internationally. Starting in the South Bronx in 1978, he gained fame for being one of New York City’s most prolific graffiti artists on subways and city walls, contributing over 35 years to street art culture and recognition for his distinctive raw style.
Santa Clarita, CA, October 29, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– On Friday, October 31 Loveforce International will release a song about the greatest fear of many single men. The song is by Billy Ray Charles. The topic of the song will either strike fear in or trigger traumatic memories for many men.
Billy Ray Charles scary new Digital Music Single is entitled “I Don’t Wanna Be Like A Brother”. It is a powerful R&B song with intricate rhythms, a steady beat, and hook filled vocal riffs. Lyrically its about a guy who is not stuck in the “friend” zone, which is talked about a lot, but in the “brother from another mother” zone which is not often talked about but can be even more devastating. It is a situation many men dread, and those who have survived it, never forget. The song attempts to make the listener feel the torment but be too catchy to feel sad.
“This is the third of our Strange Halloween Trilogy of songs released in October,” said Loveforce International CEO Mark Thomas. “The first was Scary, by Anna Hamilton and second was Trump’s Biggest Fear by The Loveforce Collective.
Thomas clarified, “We call the releases “Strange” because they address fears that aren’t always obvious in public media. Anna Hamilton’s “Scary” is about the scary feelings some have about falling in love, The Loveforce Collective’s “Trump’s Biggest Fear” illustrates how even The President can have fears and Billy Ray Charles’ release, about a subtle fear that comes with any romantic relationship.”
Billy Ray Charle’s new single “I Don’t Wanna Be Like A Brother” will be released to Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Instagram, Facebook, Claro Musica, iHeart Radio, iTunes, Deezer, KK Box, Boomplay, Media Net, Touchtones, Soundtrack by Twitch, Snapchat, NetEase, Anghami, TikTok, Resso, Flo, Audio Mack, Kuack, Pretzel, Gio Saavan, Yandex and Pretzel.
