Koi Series by Jeremy Novy
Spray paint installation added September 14, 2026
Jeremy Novy’s koi are among the street artist’s most recognizable works, particularly throughout the Marigny and Bywater. We were thrilled when Jeremy transformed our otherwise unremarkable sidewalk with a fresh coat of paint, creating a permanent installation for our block. His work is rooted in a desire to counter the homophobia he has experienced by bringing color, beauty, and joy into public spaces. Though his koi are fixed in the concrete, they evoke movement, transformation, and fluidity—a fitting reminder that even the most unexpected places can hold something beautiful.
