The gallery at 17 Frost Street is  a large space for one person to fill, but Cassius Fouler gets it done with a slew of big, new canvases featuring his signature caricatures rife with graffiti symbolism. From caps to cans, from rollers to mops, from blunts to 40s, from yellow cabs to red birds, all the hallmarks of the NYC graffiti lifestyle are present and accounted for. Stop by the closing on Friday and see for yourself.

Erik Burke x Cahil Muraghu x 17 Frost

Heads up: collaborators Cahil Muraghu and Erik Burke are having a show at 17 Frost Gallery, opening tomorrow.

Burke and Muraghu’s collaborations are vivid representation of the American landscape. The show’s title, This Land is My Land, taken from Woody Guthrie’s landmark song, embodies the artists’ intent behind both the work and their own lifestyle. Guthrie describes the disenfranchised American staking a hypothetical claim to the landscape, reiterating native American concepts of land ownership. Their work inspired by the New York City graffiti movement and the Hudson River school not only attempts to document the American experience, but lay claim, even if only for a moment, to enlivening our relationship to the landscape through abstraction.

This Land Is My Land
Erik Burke & Cahil Muraghu
Opening: Friday, October 8th, 7-11pm
17 Frost Street
Brooklyn, NY 11211
Gallery Hours: Fri, Sat, & Sun, 3-7pm or by appointment.
