Steve Powers is a street artist from New York City, but he has also done a lot of work in Philedelphia. He originally worked under the name ESPO creating graffiti art around New York. He covered storefront grates aorund the city and told people, "I'm with Exterior Surface Painting Outreach, and I'm cleaning up this gate." In 2000, Powers decided to become a studio artist, where he still creates artwork to express something. Recently, Powers was involved in a Philedelphia project called "A Love Letter For You," in which he created 50 different murals on buildings around the elevated train, which are all about relationships. He was also involved in a travelling art exhibition, which was in Europe last year. The art exhibition called "Beautiful Losers" exhibited quite a few current street artists. It could be interesting for the art gallery to have a wall Powers to create graffiti artwork on that could be constantly changed. The space inside will need to be flexible to allow for the different mediums that Powers works with.
