Enjoy the Ride: Charleston Inspiration Can Be Found in the Most Unusual Places – Thank you @koote23
By Mark A. Leon
Street art is no new to Charleston. In fact, we have witnessed a renaissance over the last several years from Shepard Fairey to the Avondale Outdoor Art Gallery, to the walls of Park Circle.
Sometimes, you have to hunt harder to find artistic works of inspiration. Just south of 526 on Savannah Highway in West Ashley, on the side of a run-down Antique Auction House is the works of famed street artist Koote23 (www.instagram.com/koote23).
On the walls with the kind light of the sun, you will find the visual imagery of Bourdain, Einstein, Hendrix, and Dali. These four men help define the legacy of culinary arts, science, music, and art.
Yet, so many in the Lowcountry have missed this artistic treasure, so powerful in its color and imagery.
Koote23, we thank you for bringing this beauty and inspiration to what would otherwise be another neglected building.
