Thrillist Miami
Tuesday March 31, 2009
Culture Kings Artist Collective
Now open, 4300 NE 2nd Ave, Miami; 305.573.2399
Everyone feels irrational pride in locally bred successes,
like "your boy" the CEO who learned his high school math
from the same teacher as you, or the big-time QB who didn't
learn math from the same teacher as you. For a gallery of
similar lovable local talent, check out Culture Kings Artist
Collective.
An annex to the Culture Kings clothing boutique, AC uses its
owner's connections in the music/graffiti worlds to deliver
a gallery of paintings, sculptures, and photos from artists
who're either connected to Miami's street culture scene, or
are so home-grown, you've probably purchased Big Bites from
the same 7-11. Artists include local boy Johnny Robles, who
polished his craft in Florence before creating "Plunge", a
slightly cartoonish sculpture of a toilet plunger reshaping
a massive wad of sticky pink stuff (a comment on the
artistic process), and the painting "Exterior Womb", using
dreamy realism to depict a tranced-out kid wearing
headphones while overhead floats a roiling ball of power
plants, dolphins, bombs, internal organs, and a couple
playing tonsil hockey, who seem more interested in each
other's external organs. Other masters include Crome, one of
Fla's preeminent graffiti/tattoo artists, whose "Purple
People Eater" is a diptych in which a demon-eyed tagger
emerges from under the nervous mask of a normal kid; and
Tatiana Suarez, whose "Candy Clown 1" painting depicts a
doe-eyed topless girl in smeared clown makeup preparing to
bite into a candied apple with a huge ant lurking on the
other side -- yo, topless chick: this bug's for you!
There's an opening party April 11 from 7 to 10pm, with
comped hors d'oeuvres, Red Stripe, and Ciroc Vodka, and
downtempo funk and soul spun by local talent, DJ Razor --
totally your boy, as you...cut yourself using a razor in 7th
grade!
