Red Lips Painting, Original Mixed Media New York Graffiti Wall Art, 24x24

I Ate New York is an original red lips painting by independent artist Markus Lewis: pop art with a street-culture bite. It’s mixed media on a 24" x 24" x 1.5" gallery-wrapped canvas, and it takes quintessential tourist NYC and turns it into something you can’t look away from.

Hyper-glossy, lacquered red lips, rendered with expressive, painterly highlights, part to reveal the spire of the New York skyline rising from within. The city literally becomes the voice, the breath, and the bite of New York itself.

Around the image, loose, hand-painted graffiti tags reading “NEW YORK” and “I 8” frame the composition with raw, urban energy that contrasts with the polished glamour of the lips. The piece plays on themes of youth, identity, and the seductive power of the city.

Red, black, and white keep the palette bold and graphic, so it works as a statement piece in a maximalist room or a clean modern one. The painting is finished on the sides and ready to hang, with no framing needed.
