The Gold Coast Arts Gallery will present the exhibition Art on the Edge: Pushing Creative Boundaries.
This exhibit highlights how artists associated with this movement continue to evolve, using graffiti’s foundational elements in drawing, painting, sculpture, and installation to honor and elevate their street origins. Join us for the opening reception at Gold Coast Arts Gallery, located at 113 Middle Neck Road, in Great Neck, on Sunday, June 23, at 4:00 p.m.
Urban art has come a long way. The history of graffiti is a testament to the resilience of art in all its forms. From ancient inscriptions to contemporary street art, graffiti has defied societal norms, evolved with changing times, and found its way into mainstream art and culture.
The influence of graffiti on modern art cannot be understated, as it continues to inspire artists to push boundaries, challenge conventions, and make their voices heard. As long as there are walls to be painted and stories to be told, graffiti will remain a powerful medium of expression, shaping the art world for generations to come.
Exhibiting artists: Lenny Achan, Chris RWK, Jose Marti, Valeri Larko, Wane COD, Steve Wasterval, Zimad BA, Koz One, and Veronique Barrillot. This exhibit is curated by Jude Amsel. For more information, please get in touch with Gold Coast Arts Gallery at (516) 829-2570.
