Dragon76 Mural, Long Beach

Dragon76 is a Japanese-born, New York鈥揵ased artist whose work practically crackles with energy. His style is built on 鈥渃oexistence鈥濃€攑airing opposites like past and future, stillness and motion, good and evil鈥攁nd making them wrestle, dance, or sometimes both at once. All of this results into his paintings getting often called 鈥渟oul-touching,鈥� with enough power to feel like they鈥檙e moving even when they鈥檙e standing still.

In 2016, Dragon76 brought that energy to Long Beach, covering the backside of the Edison residential tower with one of his massive street murals. It鈥檚 bold, fluid, and unforgettable鈥攂ut also temporary, because that鈥檚 the catch with street art. It may vanish, fade, or get painted over, but while it lasts, it turns concrete walls into living canvases. Dragon76 reminds us that part of the thrill is knowing you鈥檙e catching something that might not be here tomorrow.
