17Nations
art exhibition
I rarely participant in gallery shows or exhibitions however prompted by a few friends I hold in high regard i was motivated to be in this Art exhibition entitled 17 Nations. It was curated by Pick -up -LA and shown in InnerSpace Gallery Downtown Los Angeles. This exhibit art by male artists of color showcased their creative exploration of masculinity. In this exhibition I painted 5 canvases showing my perception of manhood from our ancestors , present and future. I was a great turn out and I was honored to sell 3 out of the 5 paintings! Here is pictures and a recap video of the event , enjoy! Thank you to my team and Art dealers.
PLEASE ENJOY!
Events
​
As a traveling muralist I also often preform at events where I create live art mural and/or large style canvases at all kinds of festivals and events. Painting at events is one of my favorites because its a great way to incorporate the powerful influence of art, creativity, and expression at all sorts of gatherings that bring all kinds of people.
