Greg Mike’s “Inside Voices.”
Internationally renowned urban contemporary artist Greg Mike is making his Los Angeles solo exhibition debut with “Inside Voices” a weekend-long showcase opening on Friday, October 19th, 2018.
Featuring 25 large works on canvas and a few surprises, Inside Voices is not only the artist’s breakout solo show in Los Angeles, but his first major exhibit since 2014. Greg Mike has spent the last four years traveling the world to paint murals (including the now-iconic “Bear Witness” on Abbot Kinney Blvd in Venice), with his bright, bombastic but polished style evolving to incorporate photorealistic animals. After defining himself throughout his career by his bold work, Greg Mike declares “Inside Voices” to be his loudest and largest show to date, coming after a period of immense creative growth, becoming a father, and a snowboarding accident that might have prevented him from ever painting again.
“As a kid, adults always tell you to use your ‘inside voice,’ Be quiet. Behave like an adult,” explains Mike. “There’s this belief our society keeps pushing that in order to grow up you have to give up your voice and stop expressing yourself. Inside Voices is a complete rejection of that. These new works leverage the style of my outdoor murals, but move inside of the gallery space — and inside of collectors homes — to explore visual representations of internal dialogues.”
The work will be exhibited at a pop-up gallery space located at 631 N. Robertson Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90069.
