New York miniature artist Danny Cortes finds recognition recreating iconic representations of hip hop culture – from ice boxes to Chinese restaurants – in his Bushwick neighboorhood in Brooklyn
A young and talented artist, Danny Cortes recreates scenes from his neighbourhood in Brooklyn in miniature.
As he spoke from his workshop in the Bushwick neighbourhood of Brooklyn, he sat among recycled objects found on the streets.Danny Cortes, a street miniature artist, works on a new miniature at his studio in the Brooklyn borough of New York City on December 19, 2022. Near a bricked-in window, a plastic bushel basket had been hung: a poor man's basketball hoop.
The artist builds collectables based on the banalest of urban scenes, "the little things that we pass by every day and pay no attention to, but which collectively form the unique cityscape that is New York".One of his first signature works was a rendering of a simple white commercial ice box –– the kind that sits outside corner groceries, the words "ICE" in block red letters on its side, and often covered in graffiti, which Cortes reproduces with meticulous detail.
