After decades of being underground, graffiti art is now in vogue. In fact, today, graffiti art is many a collector’s art of choice and is being used by numerous brands as they continually strive to be contemporary, compelling and relevant.
As graffiti art continues to grow in popularity, other areas of style and design will be influenced by its aesthetic sensibilities including modern architecture, furniture, lighting, house wares, fashion, etc.
URBNLUX: Graffiti For Life is a new, first-of-its-kind, art and design exhibition that will explore this convergence by showcasing several collaborations between renowned L.A. graffiti artist Man One and some of the today’s best industrial designers, architects and manufacturers. Man One will also be debuting several new original paintings.
Participating URBNLUX collaborators include: Reza Feiz, Cory Grosser, Benjamin Rollins Caldwell, Ando Pndlian, Roger Bennett, Brian Rupp, and Lantern Masters.
URBNLUX: Graffiti For Life opens on October 8, 2011, from 6-10pm, at Crewest Gallery in downtown Los Angeles; the address is 110 Winston Street, Los Angeles, CA 90013. Exhibit closes on October 29, 2011, from 6-10pm.
