GoreB at Orchard St. Gallery
Posted January 4th, 2006 by eliot
GoreB is one of the most prolific street artists currently working in New York. He has a background in freight graffiti, and for the past year or two his hand-painted wood panels have been bolted to street signs in just about every neighborhood of Brooklyn and downtown Manhattan. He paints portraits of historical figures as often as friends and neighbors, often mixing in cryptic text. He’s been a driving force in the Endless Love Crew and is a really nice guy to boot.
Those all reasons not to miss his new show at Skewville’s Orchard Street Gallery:
