Friend of MBP, Mighty Tanaka, kicks off new art space/show tomorrow, 12/3 in Brooklyn!
December 2, 2009
We’re pleased to announce that friend of MBP, Mighty Tanaka, who curated the amazing artists galleries at this year’s MBP Urban Arts Fest in Bushwick Brooklyn, are finally opening their own studio space in DUMBO, New York! Their first show kicks off tomorrow, December 3, with “Hybridism” – details below – see you there!

Mighty Tanaka is proud to present: HYBRIDISM, the premier show within our new DUMBO project/gallery space, on display from December 3, 2009 through January 7, 2010.
There’s a growing creative movement that we’ve dubbed HYBRIDISM: a blend of both street art and fine art – a hybrid – as the raw meets the refined. It is the juxtaposition of genres, which both compliments and conflicts; the balance between these otherwise artistic opposites.
HYBRIDISM, the show, captures a collection of both twisted fine art and underground street art in a span of mediums: vivid photography, collage, and rich oil & acrylic paintings on everything from canvas to found wood.
From classic oil paintings of alcohol-blurred nightlife, a squirrel riding a two-headed goat, and a trippy diorama of the industrialization age, to street-style satanic mummies, tribal paintings on book covers, and graffiti-influenced silkscreens on newspapers – HYBRIDISM displays the atypical and the urban within one space.
Featured artists include: Adam Miller, Alexandra Pacula, Alexis Trice, AVOID pi, Bruno Perillo, Destroy and Rebuild, Don Pablo Pedro, FARO, Hellbent, Infinity, JMR, John Breiner, Josh McCutchen, Katie Decker, KOSBE, Lionel Guzman, Mari Keeler, Miss Marlo Marquise, Max Greis, Mike Schreiber, Peter Halasz, Reginald Pean, Robbie Busch, Royce Bannon, Skewville, Vinny Cornelli.
