Unleashing the mystic within, @rasterms37 conjures

Unleashing the mystic within, @rasterms37 conjures ancient symbols through the stream of consciousness.
The symbols mimic runes and glyphs but none are premeditated or planned. The artist taps into something outside himself - truly allowing the message to flow through him.
Not only are these symbols created at the spur of the moment, but they are never duplicated. Each tells it's own story and is completely unique.
Witness this timeless magic unfold, as art dances with history, and imagination paints the path to eternity.
💫 🎨✨

✨ Oftentimes, beauty and brilliance are born from the deepest realms of darkness. Even the darkest moments can give way to vibrant shades and endless possibilities. Without one there is no other.
Dare to embrace the shadows, for they often hold the promise of a breathtaking transformation!
I recall this conversation as @rasterms37 and I discussed our shared passion for dressing mostly in black. 🖤
Let your spirit shine with resilience and embrace that which emerges from the depths of darkness. 🌈
The "Electro FUNK" series can help guide the way. Original 1/1 acrylic and Aerosol on paper, framed available now online and instore

DID SOMEBODY MENTION ART?! 👏🏽
Heck yes, that's literally the only song we're singing over here. Art is our business. And business is boomin!
These two "Electro B-Boys" embody the spirit of 80s hip hop CULTURE. From fashion, to breaking, to the Electro Funk era, to the artform known as Graffiti...even the color palate!
@rasterms37 created two of these Electro B-Boys and while the neon colors and content are close in nature (as they're a part of the same series), the actual details of each really stand out as unique individuals pieces.
One has #SOLD and that means just ONE remains.
"Electro B-Boys 7" is available now both online and instore so #ClickthePic and #becomeACollector
(don't forget, if you select shipping you'll receive $250 off!!)

Spent a beautiful Sunday afternoon catching up wit

Spent a beautiful Sunday afternoon catching up with the incredible @lgray1222!
She's out here touching up a privately commissioned mural she painted at this suburban residence two years ago. There's about 30' of mural here!
Can't say enough about this woman - her drive, work ethic, and talent 🥰🥰 she's truly one of my favorite artists.
We've had the honor of working with Lisa on several projects over the years and you may recognize her work from the hugely popular mural she painted down at Chicago and Lessing 🌿🌿🌿

What does your collection say about you?! 🏳️‍🌈 🖤 🌈 Say it loud and say it proud!
"Untitled Abstract" by @lerk920 now available online and instore #ClickthePic and #becomeACollector

As the celebration of Pride Month is just beginnin

As the celebration of Pride Month is just beginning, we've discovered an unexpected connection in our current show!!
Beyond the vibrant color palate - which is what might catch your eye at first glance...
Ancient totems have served as symbols of strength, spirituality, and unity for generations.
They remind us that diversity is a source of beauty and strength. And, that art is truly the most powerful and timeless medium.
The nature of this piece is so unique when compared to the rest of the show - there's a simplicity, while at the same time, a complexity to the design and imagery in "Electro Geo Totem".
This stunner is a part of our new show by @rasterms37 - "Electro FUNK" and is available for purchase both online and instore.
Buy it framed if you're local or...
Receive a considerable discount when you select shipping (will ship without the frame).

STOP 🛑 Another #sold piece? Yup. Just because

Talk about the PERFECT audio 🔉
Is it just me or does this piece echo the essence and vibe of an entire era - multiple eras, actually?!?
@rasterms37's signature colors mirror the energetic nature of this absolute banger of a bop! His use of yellows and reds mixed with a traditional thick black outline...
The end result, a dynamic composition, utilizing the full space from floor to ceiling, mirroring the rhythm and flow of (ELECTRO) FUNK
In the 2 weeks since this mural has been unveiled to the world, it has quickly become a focal point of the community, attracting curious onlookers who are drawn to the vibrant and soulful energy it exudes.
Passersby on Chicago Ave have been captivated by the imagery and the way it seems to come alive, especially at the right time of day!!
Have you seen this piece in @westtownchicago yet?
Make sure you stop by and snap a pic before the end of June and while you're here, come on in and view his entire solo exhibition.
Work available online and instore! #becomeACollector
