WALLWORKS NEW YORK WELCOMES MIAMI PHENOM ABSTRK IN HIS FIRST NYC SOLO EXHIBITION!

 

WALLWORKS NEW YORK is thrilled to open our doors for FRGMNTS, a solo exhibition by prolific Miami artist, Enrique "ABSTRK" Mas.

 

FRGMNTS marks the artist's first solo exhibition in New York and serves as a study of vintage Americana through the lens of Miami graffiti pop culture. The artist explains the new series as follows:

 

“…Metal badges from vintage American cars are scattered and broken up into freestanding letters and logos Each letter and logo has an unknown story and life that has led it to this point in time that we will never know which evokes a unique memory or nostalgic feeling of a time and place juxtaposed alongside pieces of wood panels and painted fabrics new and old that relate to origins of my own journey navigating through my development as a creative who’s moniker was inspired by customizing apparel…”

 

The works in FRGMNTS offer a glimpse into the artist's thought process while working--switching between mediums, surfaces, and compositions. The process is just as much part of the art as the finished work.
