Anastasios Poneros

Heavily influenced by an upbringing immersed in New York City graffiti culture, his street art can be seen all around the city under the moniker P_RK.

 

Largely inspired by the iconography of his Greek heritage, much of his work contains elements of his own playfully apocalyptic ethos. Poneros' work has been exhibited in galleries around the world including  New York City, South Hampton, Miami, Aspen, Switzerland, Athens, Mexico City, and more.

 

In a broader sense, his work is informed by his nautical lifestyle, and the inherent romanticism of his time spent sailing and exploring the waters of New York. 

 

Born and raised in Queens, New York. In 2002, he received a BA in Design from Pratt Institute. Poneros currently works out of his studio based in Red Hook, Brooklyn.
