POST GRAFFITI Open Through October 22
Don't miss your opportunity to check out our inaugural exhibition at BEYOND THE STREETS Flagship and CONTROL Gallery, POST GRAFFITI -- a visual story of the graffiti revolution, through the early ambitions of artists like FUTURA2000, CRASH, Eric HAZE, LADY PINK and Kenny Scharf, who laid the groundwork for the movement – to the artists of the present who draw energy from the international community of graffiti writing and street culture.
POST GRAFFITI is anchored by a virtuoso ensemble of celebrated artists that include Blake Kunin, CHITO, Conor Harrington, CRASH, Eric HAZE, Felipe Pantone, FUTURA2000, Gregory Rick, Katsu, Kenny Scharf, LADY PINK, Madsaki, Maya Hayuk, Nehemiah Cisneros, Ozzie Jaurez, Othelo Gervacio, Paul Flores, Paul Insect, POSE, Timothy Curtis, and Todd James. The artists of POST GRAFFITI continue to embrace all that has come before. They incorporate technology, the internet, fashion, film, photography, and often use new techniques to apply to the original spray can art foundations. KATSU uses drones to paint tags. Felipe Pantone makes interactive, Op-Art installations that channel the use of spray paint.
POST GRAFFITI showcases the work of those who risked it all to leave their imprint on culture and the ones who continue to revolutionize the art form today. Some continue to utilize letter-based graphics, while others create figurative and abstract forms, but all use the mediums of drawing, painting, sculpture or installation to blur and elevate their source inspiration— graffiti.
