The exhibition will run through Nov. 28.
“Our medium is Graffiti,” according to a statement from artist Paschal. “It can be found on the side of buildings, on an overpass, on a train car or on more traditional surfaces such as paper, canvas and in the digital world. For us it’s a way to learn and explore new ways to reshape letters and objects into something new or outrageous. It’s a gateway into expression through vivid colors, creativity and various techniques. At its core, Graffiti is here to interrupt your everyday lives through artwork.”
4P Studio’s Martinez Gallery on Roberts Road in Martinez will be the site of the annual under $200 exhibition beginning Nov. 1.
