Miguel Paredes — King Pulgha
Miguel Paredes

King Pulgha

King Pulgha is a bold and commanding mixed media work by New York based street art legend Miguel Paredes, constructed on repurposed found metal panels that carry the raw energy of urban signage. The figure is rendered in fluid circular forms reminiscent of bubble lettering, crowned and adorned with a collaged $100 bill, merging themes of power, wealth, and street culture into a single monumental presence. Collectors are drawn to Paredes for his ability to transform discarded materials into layered social commentary, and this vertical composition stands as a striking statement piece that bridges fine art and graffiti heritage.

CRASH

American · b. 1961

CRASH pioneered bubble lettering graffiti on New York subway cars and translates that same fluid rounded figuration onto canvas and found surfaces, directly mirroring Paredes's crown wearing figures built from circular graffiti forms and urban energy.

Daze

American · b. 1962

Daze emerged from the same New York subway graffiti scene and creates large scale figurative works that blend street culture iconography with bold graphic color fields and collage elements, closely paralleling Paredes's monumental figures on repurposed urban materials.

Ron English

American · b. 1959

Ron English works in mixed media on found and repurposed surfaces, layering currency imagery, power symbols, and pop cultural references with bold graphic figuration, matching Paredes's fusion of collaged dollar bills, crown motifs, and social commentary on wealth and street culture.
