On Saturday, June 15th CHG Circa will present international street artist Ben Eine’s first exhibition with the gallery entitled “Innocence". featuring an exclusive collection of his famed work, shown on the Victorian subway walls and rail yard fences of an Eine installation experience. Eine’s symbols of color, contrast and form framed by street, shutter, and canvas, create a living syntax: a recognition of letters and words at play, abstract in the street and the gallery. Eine’s art is figuratively laconic with its graffiti origins, and ironic with phrases as “Vandalism” co-opting criminal mischief for the bright aesthetics of his urban art. In the graffiti underground, Eine conceptualized the outlaw tag as a medium of innocence resistant to control - art versus vandalism. Within the exhibition space, his street themes find new mercurial contrasts - art versus business. Art’s innocence, resilient to control, is what Eine calls happy graffiti.
Saturday, June 15th 7-10pm CHG Circa 8530-A Washington Boulevard Culver City, CA 90232 chgcirca.com.com
