Urban Wild

May 10, 2019 – October 26, 2019 @ 12:00 am –

Urban Wild, curated by elizabet elliott, is an exhibition of work that sits at the intersection of Southern street culture and fine art traditions. The historical city streets and dirt roads of the Deep South are a whole other kind of backdrop for these works, inspiring art that is as eclectic as it is playful. These artists draw from graffiti, tattoo, skate, and hip-hop culture, as well as comic book illustration, pop art, folk art, and even old-fashioned sign painting. This exhibition aims to capture the breadth and diversity of art that makes public place its forum, as the Southern Street becomes a stage and canvas all its own.

Opening Reception

This exhibition looks at the range of creativity that is practiced throughout the streets, highways, and dirt roads of the South. Engagement with public space is a binding thread between a diverse range of practices. These artists draw from graffiti, tattoo flash, skate culture, hip-hop culture, as well as comic book illustration, pop art, and even old-fashioned sign painting to make objects, images, and environments.
