KR also hit a 4 story high street spot and had bikini-clad girls pose with his product.

The theme is not dissimilar from other recent shows, as it highlights the trajectory of street art from the 1980s to the present. In that span, the shift from street to gallery find shape and form, a constant now in larger graffiti showcases.

Digital Media finds Skullphone questioning the use of digital signage in his hometown of Los Angeles. His paintings are time consuming projects, using a dot-grid system on black aluminum panels. As a fixture on the LA street art scene for over a decade, Skullphone’s new paintings are somewhat of a departure from his previous output despite clear connection to the urban environment that has always inspired him.
Exhibition runs through to July 2nd, 2010.
