Death NYC
Death NYC (American 1979) is a New York–based street artist known for bold, culturally charged imagery that blends pop art, irony, and social commentary. Raised in New York, she adopted the pseudonym “Death,” an acronym for “Don’t Easily Abandon The Hope.” Working in urban spaces and later through limited-edition prints, her practice reworks iconic cultural symbols to question consumerism, fame, and contemporary media.
