New York-based urban muralist and artist WK Interact has been papering the city with his trademark black-and-white street art since arriving from France 15 years ago. Fans will soon be able to see the world through his eyes at WK’s largest solo show in New York.
His images, often two-dimensional moving bodies, deliver social commentary and beauty in a raw, graffiti-like medium. WK’s shadowy and emotive characters range from soldiers to robbers to people screaming and jumping. Known for his New York street art, most notably his large scale mural above the parking lot at Prince and Lafayette, WK Interact has also done studio and commissioned art.
Epic mixed-media narrative “The Trail” finds its canvas in Williamsburg’s Espeis Archetype Gallery. Kinetic smaller works that snake around the walls inside will complement a 30-foot outdoor painting. “The Trail” also includes a custom bike and skateboard sculptures.
WK Interact has also gained popularity from collaborations with Obey, Dr. Martens, Nike, and others.
Opening Reception for WK’s “The Trail” is this Friday, November 30th. 7pm at Espeis Archetype Gallery, 90 Wythe Avenue (at North 11th), Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Works on exhibit November 30th 2007-January 13th 2008.
