Posted by sleepboy, October 15, 2014

With this latest edition of our Streets: World Roundup article, we turn our eyes to Las Vegas for our featured mural from ROA.

Tonight, February 2nd, Luke Chueh (interviewed) will be bringing a body of work inspired by the seven deadly sins to the Brett Wesley Gallery in Las Vegas for a joint show with Juan Muniz. The collection of paintings will certainly be appropriate for “Sin City,” as is the title of the show Primrose Path, an old idiom coined by Shakespeare to refer to a pleasant path to self-destruction. With such a dark topic, expect Luke to go to town on his poor animals as he explores […]
