Parlor Gallery presents the opening of “Shaved Apes Will Paint”
New Lowbrow Art Exhibit to Open in Asbury Park
On Saturday, July 18 the Parlor Gallery presents the opening reception of “Shaved Apes Will Paint.”
This show features the work of lowbrow artists, KRK Ryden and Martin Moore.
They may share a last name, but make no mistake: Keyth Ryden is not The Artist Formerly Known as Mark. As his alias suggests, he’s an enigma unto himself, creating paintings that draw from past, present, and future all at once. KRK Ryden’s art is a record of mongrel pop culture. His aesthetic is informed by comic books, punk rock, and cartoons, while his worldview is strictly DEVO. KRK’s work embraces everyday absurdity and a cartoony view of reality. His paintings are colorful and visually appealing reflections on discarded icons, and his graphics are well-realized snapshots of cartoon life. For over thirty years KRK has been creating illustrations and paintings for underground bands, publishers, and institutions.
Martin Moore is an illustrator hailing from Florida. He and KRK are long time friends and have been looking forward to doing this show together!
Gallery 2 will feature the work of local artist, Jamie Patterson and other gallery artists.
Please join us in Asbury Park for this exciting art event! It will be held from 7:00 to 11:00 pm. at The Parlor Gallery located at 717 Cookman Ave, Asbury Park, NJ 07712.
