Openings: “Three Kings” @ Subliminal Projects

Futura

Over the weekend, Subliminal Projects brought in a power trio of graffiti legends in their show titled Three Kings. Featuring the work of Fab 5 Freddy, Futura 2000 and Lee Quinones, the show brought in writers who each have a different and unique style. Having these personalities under one space brought in fans of the artwork as well as those who wanted to finally meet the street luminaries.

The artwork covering the walls ranged from Fab 5’s old-school type lettering layered against images of trains to Quinones’ work which often focused on American iconography and a more classically trained style of painting. On the other end of the spectrum, Futura’s work included pieces that felt abstract but which also featured a sense of energy and color. Overall, the crowd on hand was certainly there to enjoy the art, but also to pay their respects and look back at those who set the path for today’s current graffiti generation.
