His crew United Artists (or simply UA) quickly gained the reputation for producing full-color throw-ups on whole cars.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFor the next 16 years his pieces were running across the city and on all lines, but they were especially prominent on the 2,5 and 6 lines. He was responsible for dozens of whole-car top-to-bottoms, many of which have become iconic images of the time.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIt was during the very early 1980s that Seen started producing work on canvas, shown by galleries and bought by museums and private collectors across the globe. These included not only solo exhibitions but also group shows with artists such as Keith Haring, Andy Warhol, Jean Michel Basquiat , Dondi, Quik, Blade\u003cspan class=\"plainlinks noprint Inline-Template\"\u003e]\u003c\/span\u003e, andLee Quinonnes. Despite the high demand for his work in Europe and constant world travel, Seen continued to hit the New York subway trains until 1989, long after increased pressure from the MTA had stopped many from doing so. He was also featured prominently in the 1983 PBS documentary Style Wars\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIn the late 1980s Seen also turned his talent to Tattoo art, opening Tattoo SEEN, which quickly became one of the most successful studios in New York. Seen's recent work includes three-dimensional sculpture, mixed media work with reclaimed or discarded materials (often found in the street), and a series of hand-painted, limited-edition MTA New York subway maps. He continues to exhibit worldwide and produce work with and alongside artists such as Banksy.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIn 2009, the  SEEN Gallery opens in Paris before becoming the SEEN Studio's, France. He also has been exhibited at the Fondation Cartier.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIn 2010, he has shown at the Magda\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Magda_Danysz_Gallery\" title=\"Magda Danysz Gallery\"\u003e \u003c\/a\u003eDanysz Gallery with a solo show on the three floors of the gallery.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIn 2011, he signed on with Opera Gallery (12 locations worldwide), and the Paris location featured his work.
