Urban artists Curtis Kulig and Skullphone recently opened their exhibition Scripture in New York’s Mallick Williams & Co. Each artist, known well for their outdoor installations, created indoor works for this show.
Skullphone continued his ultra precise dot paintings (previously covered) which mimic his LED panel installations which we have come to enjoy. Utilizing a meticulous painting process of altering the size of the paint, he is able to create a visual conceptualization of what he is trying to communicate. Next, upon entering Curtis’ space we were stunned to see all his canvas paintings still shrink-wrapped. At first, we thought it was not set up and just freshly arrived. But, upon further inspection & discussion, we realized that it was the intended effect of poking fun at the art industries and current collecting trends of multiples. Whether it be complementary colors or owning a set, he makes his classic “Love Me” writing into a interchangeable motif that can be customized to suit the specific buyer’s whim.
These two great shows will be up until November 8th so stop by if you can. More photos after the jump…
