All Day Breakfast II | BNS | Street Art

'All Day Breakfast II' is an original artwork by Mariano, a Buenos Aires-born, Brooklyn-based street artist known by his tag BNS.

Recognized as a film and fashion icon, Audrey Hepburn was active during the Golden Age of Hollywood, hence the neck tattoo.Her outfit, a blazer in golden animal print, matches that of Liz Taylor in BNS’s work “El Amor es Ciego”; both of the pieces are part of BNS’s series Golden Age Portrait. Under her eye there is a heart tattoo that makes a statement for all the love she gave working for UNICEF and helping some of the poorest communities in the world. BNS’s Audrey is rocking a red bandana and a nose ring, looking like a modern version of a pin up with a punk rock twist. A queen of hearts silkscreen that can be seen in one of the finishing layers of the piece alludes to Hepburn’s reputation as one of the most favorite actresses of all times.

BNS draws inspiration from the energy of the city context in which he has always lived, be it Buenos Aires, New York or more recently Barcelona. Through his murals in urban spaces he is continuously leaving a vibrant imprint in the public space, letting his work flow on, as well as off, the streets.
