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

What does it mean when @rasterms37 is described as a "spiritual" artist?
Well, the central figure here, prominently displayed in the composition, commands attention.
The being is a captivating fusion of human, ethereal, and ancient qualities, with an aura that suggests a connection to the divine.
Radiating an otherworldly energy, their eyes seem to possess an ancient wisdom, as if they have witnessed the ebb and flow of time itself. Perhaps, Electro Funk energy flows through it.
The serene expression hints at a profound inner peace and understanding.
Each stroke and contour seems purposeful, deliberate, as if every mark conveys a sacred message.
Its spiritual essence is palpable, evoking a sense of awe and wonder at the depth of human spirituality throughout the ages.

The artist... And his work.
Explore the spiritual and thrilling world of @rasterms37
The "Electro FUNK" series is the namesake of his show and basis from which all other works were created.
These are some of the ONLY REMAINING PIECES from the show.
Each of the 6 masks are completely unique and adorned with a multitude of intricate details - drawing inspiration from ancient cultures around the globe.
The bottom half, painted in aerosol, mimics the natural flow of a graffiti artist. Bending at the knees with an arm bent - the movement made at the shoulder. (iykyk)
Best yet?! These can be shipped (at a discounted price!) or buy locally with the professionally framed work ready to hang in your home or office.

Wait a minute....!
It's easy to look around at big box store offers and feel the need to compete. Sifting through your inbox on holiday weekends almost gets to be a little overwhelming. 😱😱
This small business is... just that : A small business. We can't compete with the big box offers but, then again, we are not offering the same product.
We are in the business of selling artwork! Original, affordable artwork. Nothing in our current feature show is over $1250, with several pieces priced at 300 and 500. And that doesn't even cover the rest of our inventory!
Plus, we have a number of systems in place to make it easier for you to #becomeACollector. Like, payment plans that split your total into 4 zero interest installments so there's no stress if and when you decide to go for that big piece!!
Also, if you're considering multiple pieces, send over a DM and we'd be happy to hook you up with a discount code.
This holiday day weekend - if you're browsing for the best deals online don't forget the little guys (and gals!) Remember, when you #shopsmall you make a big impact.

The "ELECTRO FUNK" era of hip hop emerged during t

The "ELECTRO FUNK" era of hip hop emerged during the early 1980s and played a significant role in shaping the genre's sound and aesthetic.
It was a period characterized by the fusion of electronic music and funk elements which laid the foundation for future hip hop and dance music movements.
@rasterms37 entire solo show is inspired by this movement and the influence is easily seen in many of the works but none as much as...
"Electro Cypher"!! The shell toes, the bucket hat, the thick black rimmed glasses...This B Boy is about to set it off!!
This one...like most others in the show is #SOLD but there are still a literal handful of originals available on our website now.
Pick up locally or we'll ship it to you WORLDWIDE hit the #linkinbio to browse and #becomeACollector

Have you seen our new @rasterms37 window installat

Have you seen our new @rasterms37 window installations?
For every new exhibition, our featured artist does a total takeover of the gallery and paints not one but TWO site specific murals that align with their show.
Transcending time and space, this ephemeral mural channels the whispers of ancient glyphs, whispering tales of spirituality and wisdom.
Each stroke of paint unfolds a sacred and deeply personal narrative - inviting us to embark on a journey of self-discovery and introspection.
Lost in the mystic embrace of these timeless and completely original symbols, (seriously, no two are the same!) find solace and connection with the unseen realms.
No need to ask, he's a #smoothoperator

Symbolic Fusion : Past and Present At its core, @

Symbolic Fusion : Past and Present
At its core, @rasterms37 "Terockatron 23" pays homage to the rich heritage of ancient civilizations, drawing inspiration from the mystical world of hieroglyphics cave paintings. The primal strokes and earth tones evoke a deep sense of connection to the ancestral past.
As you delve deeper into the composition, you are met with a surprising twist—the introduction of graffiti via aerosol and the texture of paint sticks.
This infusion of #urbanmodernism adds a dynamic and rebellious energy to the piece. Vibrant splashes of color, bold lines, and stylized character work creates a juxtaposition of old and new, tradition and rebellion.
It's for these reasons and so many more - the centerpiece to "Electro FUNK" has #SOLD but will remain on display through the month of June.
