His own pieces sell for up to $120,000, according to Cavalier Galleries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The art world is my community and I needed to help my community,&#8221; Philoche told CNN. &#8220;People say New York is dead, but it&#8217;s far from that. There&#8217;s an artist somewhere writing the next greatest album. There&#8217;s a kid right now in his studio painting the next Mona Lisa. There&#8217;s probably a dancer right now choreographing the next epic ballet.
