WALLWORKS NEW YORK WELCOMES PRIEST FOR AN EXHIBITION OF NEW AND OLD WORKS!​

​

Bronx, NY - WALLWORKS NEW YORK is proud to announce our next exhibition, PICK 'N MIX, a solo showing from New Zealand artist, PRIEST! In this latest exhibition, PRIEST offers a nostalgic twist on contemporary graffiti and street art, fusing recognizable characters with twisted views on the world. 

 

PRIEST’s satirical style contrasts playful and innocent imagery with dark, subversive subject matters. His compositions are bright and colorful, combining nostalgic cartoons, video games and street art in a tongue-in-cheek critique of capitalism and corporate culture. Toys also feature heavily in PRIEST’s practice, "the word doubling as a derogatory term for inexperienced painters in the graffiti scene while emphasizing the element of play that’s central to his approach" (Beyond the Streets).
