"Places Snake Plissken Escaped From"

Solo Exhibition

Marz Jr.

October 3-31, 2015

Artist Reception Saturday October 3rd 7-9pm

Wallspace is pleased to present the solo exhibition "Places Snake Plissken Escaped from" by Marz Jr. with an artist reception Saturday October 3 from 7-9pm.

"Places Snake Plissken Escaped from" is an homage to iconic buildings from New York City and Los Angeles, drawn with simple lines but imbued with bright color and nostalgia. "The pieces are based on my visual memory, mostly through movies, of the cities I loved before living in them myself. My goal was to create fun, simple, peaceful images that the viewer can relate to and allow them to connect to in their own personal way - either through their own memories of living in the cities, or through movies or images from books or photos," says artist Marz Jr.

Wallspace is a dynamic gallery that shows art in a non-conventional setting. Hung salon style on 14' high walls, the gallery’s aim is to create a floor-to-ceiling visceral experience. The gallery represents emerging and more established Los Angeles-based artists.

"Marz Jr. is able to pull you into his work with his use of sharp retro color blocking mixed with iconic landmarks and drawing on his skills and his background in animation. These works tap into the pride we feel in the city where we may have lived and a create a visual conversation that invites a comparison of East versus West. I am delighted to be hosting Marz Jr.'s first solo show here in Los Angeles at Wallspace where we are all about representing strong, emerging artists with different backgrounds," says Valda Lake owner of Wallspace.
