On view in the CityArts Café: “Foeism” by ETCH
“My name is ETCH, and the work you will see here is about the process of transforming raw, destructive, and opposing ideas about the outside world into a meditation through art.
As a graffiti writer my artistic language is the medium I use to communicate with the world. Through it, I express the views, glory, and plight of my community and myself. Graffiti is an act of vandalism - an exercise that connects my inner world to the reality of what is happening out on the streets.
Rebellious by nature, this process of purging breeds a hatred toward the establishment. But hatred is insidious and usually turns inward, creating self hatred and ultimately destruction.
This body of work (2023-2026) represents an awakening - allowing negative energy to transform naturally and flow through focused awareness and acceptance into wisdom, compassion, and peaceful protest.”
On view until September 12th at 6:00 PM
