Buff Monster "Born of the Abyss"
This event has ended.
At Giant Robot New York
Media: Painting
Giant Robot presents new work by Buff Monster at the GRNY Gallery. The artist is best known for his wheat-pasted street art featuring lumps of ice cream, clouds, and squirting breasts. The disarmingly sweet imagery has spilled over into the worlds of fashion, collectibles, and galleries--as well as collaborations for the likes of The Standard, Hurley, Vans, Helio, and Nike.
Born of the Abyss represents a break from Buff Monster's public (and usually illegal) work, and reflects new themes, mediums, and directions. The show will include framed and unframed paintings on paper and wood panels. Inspired and influenced by typography, Christian demonology, heavy metal music, and Japanese monster toys, recurring elements will include geometric patterns and katakana, as well as a new character that he calls Demon Seed. These pieces will be complemented with a limited edition of hand-painted kaiju figures.
