About The Work -- Target Demo: Portraits of the late Christopher Wallace and Tupac Shakur

“Biggie and 2pac will always be examples of how powerful music can be as a medium.  Their ability to translate the often grim, inner-city struggles to the masses had them both praised and vilified.  Played in the streets and targeted in the media - a marketing plan of rivalry set sights on their friendship, fans and the entire hip-hop community.

A senseless tragedy over extraordinary talent, “Target Demo” is my tribute to both men.“ Tes One.

Tes One on Biggie

"Biggie was evidence that despite seemingly endless disadvantages, talent can lift you up. His voice, wit and delivery put him above anyone else on any track he was on. Storytelling was cinematic in detail, with effortless rhyme patterns and cadence.  Biggie made opportunity and earned respect – all from his talent." 

Tes One on Tupac

“I don’t believe there ever was, or ever will be another rapper as prolific as 2pac.  The amount of work he produced within roughly 5 years exceeds most lifelong music careers.  2pac didn’t wait.  He wrote, performed, recorded, advocated and engaged in every day as if it was his last - resulting in one of the most undeniable voices in a generation.”

About Tes One

Combining traditional and non-traditional techniques, Leon "Tes One" Bedore creates contemporary works of art that contrast nature with technology, grime with grace. Allowing himself to find beauty in the mundane, he is able to juxtapose rejected landscapes with figurative illustrations, all the while identifying what is common between the conversing elements. These opposing forces coexist to create paintings that are both symbolic and metaphorical. Website: www.tesone.com
