PRESENT First Solo Exhibition of Emerging French Street Artist in New York

Studied and graduated in 2003 obtaining a "Diplome Superieur" at ESAA (Ecole Superieure des Arts Appliques) Duperré, Paris, France. He worked briefly in the Fashion design industry then shifted with devotion towards the fine arts. Gumo's work is motley Gumo and finds no constraint. Gumo speaks as freely as possible with what our environment offers, media and entertainment. Graffiti in the street, at a canvas, in a cellar, a collage or a text down on paper, his work has no real strings attached but seems more driven by the fused energy that surround us, a mixture of anger, passion, trash, naive, sometimes borrowing a rare physical and moral violence, rarely quiet as a reflection of what we see around us, this world and life we've chosen."As far as I'm able to remember, I've always been fascinated by painting, pictures and words…more Opening reception is from 6-9pm, June 23 GUMO with Guest Artist BIZARD BIZARD is a French performer and visual artist.

(Click to Preview Exhibition) GUMO& Guest Artist BIZARD will present "MASK" a live performance.BIZARD and GUMO's collaboration experienced a series of "performed" portraits inspired from Haitian Carnival and expressed via western street art media, nude body and head covered by tape and graffiti When I last visited the Dorian Grey Gallery, a relatively new space in NYC's East Village that has already featured solo shows by such artists as Crash and LA II, I was drawn to a few images — almost hidden from view — lying on a desk. I discovered that they are the work of the Parisian street artist, Ugly Kid-Gumo. Working in a New York…more To create graffiti is to engage in urban guerilla warfare.
