THE LAST SUPPER...But, make it...WILD.
Enjoy this peek into the process of @nicmaxjim as he created this site specific mural for his debut solo show "Thoughts and Prayers"
Many a late night was spent here as Nic prepared not one but TWO ephemeral installations that you can only see for the duration of his show!!
When the show comes to a close a new piece goes up so get on over here to flick it and enjoy the fruits of his labor.
OH and did we mention the CUSTOM neon? Guess what, that's for sale!
Take home a piece of the magic.

A return to innocence, if you will.
The embodiment of happiness, joy, being truly carefree. Autonomy, friendship, nature...
"Howling at the Moon" has brought all of these emotions and feelings of nostalgia to the surface.
One of only three remaining originals from @nicmaxjim "Wild Things" series. Available now.

Edit : SOLD (Reverend) Mother, May I?
Outstanding craftsmanship and execution from @nicmaxjim on his new series of "Mother's".
These custom cut wood panels are meant to mirror Lancet windows one might find in...Say a Church...!
Standing 40" tall, carefully applied in layers and sealed with resin : Religious iconography, with a twist.
Just imagine the dinner conversations you'd have with the Reverend Mother watching over you!
Original artwork available now online and instore, pickup in store or select worldwide shipping.

The art in the gallery looks freakin amazing on our walls but TRUST when I say - NOTHING transforms a space like new art. You'll love it so much you won't be able to stop staring (and let's be honest, your zoom background needs a creative upgrade).
How about this new @nicmaxjim Basquiat homage?! Not only does it LOOK GOOD but it feels good too.
Yes, FEELS GOOD. It's printed on diamond velvet so you can actually touch it and fully enjoy the most tactile experience you can get out of a piece of art.
Plus, the fabric is mounted on wood and framed so it's durable as hell!!
"Boom for Real" is just $375 and is the only one of its kind. Available now online and instore and ships worldwide.

"STAY GOLD" by @nicmaxjim may be one of the more difficult pieces to photograph but its absolutely one of the most enjoyable to view. 😍
Because the backround is black, combined with the gloss of resin - you will often catch a reflection of yourself within the piece. And this... Is no coincidence. 💯
The artist forces the viewer to SEE THEMSELF in his work. When we mention the fact that duality is a reoccurring theme, the notion of "Memento Mori" becomes painfully obvious.
So, for that reason - you'll notice a familiar face in slide 2 💀
Swipe through to see multiple angles and NO FILTER VIDEOS that show the power of his top secret iridescent metallic flakes that take the work to the NEXT LEVEL.
This ORIGINAL piece is available now, both online and instore so #ClickthePic and #becomeACollector

One of our favorite parts about the gallery (if we do say so ourselves) is our BACK ROOM! AKA the Black Room.
This is where we showcase other artists we represent who may not necessarily be in the featured exhibit.
This is very intentionally curated so if the work in the front room isn't exactly your jam - maybe one of our other artists will catch your eye. Why wouldn't we want to give every opportunity for each artist to succeed?!
At Saturday nights opening all three of these original pieces #sold - congratulations to @artistic.kind @eyez and @sunnieskiez 💥

If you are the type of person who has always dream

If you are the type of person who has always dreamed of a kneeling at @louisvuitton altar before a crucified Mickey Mouse... You've got just 24 more hours until you can come do something unholy with us!!
@nicmaxjim put together the most provocative installation to date for his debut solo show "Thoughts and Prayers" 🙏🏽
Not only are we encouraging the viewers to go up and use the altar but... All the custom made pieces here are also now available for purchase.
Can't wait to have you in this week and all month long to explore the details of this poignant show but... In the meantime, if you simply can't, wait the good news is...
ALL items are now listed on our website AND tagged in the reel below. The artist utilizes discarded and gently used handbags and luggage to create these one of a kind items.

Edit SOLD Less than 24 hours into @nicmaxjim debut

Edit SOLD Less than 24 hours into @nicmaxjim debut exhibition, “Thoughts and Prayers” we want to sincerely thank you to all who joined us for the artist reception. 🙏🏽
There are no ‘happy mistakes’ in Nic’s work - rather every detail is incredibly thought out and intentional. The work speaks to duality of life and death, light and darkness, sobriety and addiction, religion and secularism. Everything in it’s place - balanced and purposeful.
The most frequent comment of the evening?! “Pictures don’t do these justice!” Due to Nic’s in depth creative process and materials used, his works take on new depths in real life. Colors explode off the wall, layers emerge out from under the resin, and the metallic flake…Well. Simply put, it SHINES.
So - we invite you to see this show in person for the next month at the gallery beginning regular store hours this TUE. But, in the meantime...all work is now available online
Chicago Truborn is honored and so proud to be debuting work of this caliber and quality at price points that reflect our, near decade long, mission of affordability and accessibility.
As always, interest free “QuadPay” payment plans are available at checkout when you shop online. Split any payment into 4 manageable installments and #BecomeACollector
Every single piece is mounted on wood, resin coated, and framed. Meaning the durability and life of these works is guaranteed to last a lifetime.
