Seen, real name Richard Mirando, was born in 1961 in the Bronx where he grew up. He now lives between Paris and New York. The graffiti movement was at that time in full emergence. Richard is captivated by the painted subway trains that run along Line 6 or park in the Lexington Avenue depot. His uncle's garage backs onto this yard. He entered the depot on a Saturday afternoon in 1973 and made his first "piece". He chooses the nickname "Seen". He goes so far as to paint whole cars that mark the spirit of New Yorkers. His father regularly beats him to punish him. In 1982, the documentary film Style Wars by Tony Silver and Henry Chalfant made him an icon of the movement in the rest of the world. Nicknamed the Godfather of Graffiti, Seen in 1981 took his place alongside Andy Warhol, Keith Haring and Basquiat, at the "New York, New Wave" exhibition at PS1 in New York. Seen continues to exhibit alone or in groups with artists such as Banksy, Obey Giant.
