Young Basquiat by Hebru Brantley

Beginning in the Exhibition is Hebru Brantley, one of the countries fastest rising artists who skate boards with Lil Wayne and smokes cigars with Carmelo Anthony. Emerging from Chicago, the artist debuts at Guy Hepner with his Sean Samo Samo painting. The piece incorporates a major idol of his, Jean Michel Basquiat, nodding to black American history and gritty urban life. Signature of Brantley, he paints Basquiat as a child, exploring the optimism and possibilities of youth. “The paintings don’t take themselves very seriously,” he says. “I’m a kid at heart. But they still have some of those darker undertones.”

Bottle Service Too in the Pink by Market Price

Another piece included in this exhibition is Bottle Service, Too in the Pink by fine artist Market Price. Unlike Brantley, Chicago’s Hip Hop art star, little is known about the artist known as Market Price, however, his paintings are nothing short of enthralling. The artist takes one of the most prestige vintage bottles of Champagne, Dom Pérignon, whose auction prices are record breaking, and turns it into a molotov cocktail. His piece, along with its’ title creates a bigger picture, putting his own ironic interpretation on pop culture, society’s strive for wealth and its’ perception.
