The Charles Munka for JOYCE Exhibition is a captivating series of installation pieces reflective of the Hong-Kong based French artist's style. The gritty fusion of [abstract street graffiti](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1) and historic references is imaginative and worldly.

The [wall climbing canvases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorscape-installation) exhibit Munka's illustrative abstract doodles that surround visitors with a visually hectic environment. The childlike drawings appear as if they have been ripped straight out of Munka's sketchbook. The site-specific installations take inspiration from artifacts and primordial civilizations. The decal floor stickers are replicas of floor plans from ancient Egyptian buildings; the [neon light sculpture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crafted-world-exhibition-1) is a snapshot of the famed Rosetta Stone motif.

The Charles Munka for JOYCE Exhibition celebrates the artist's talent for pushing creative boundaries and honoring iconic fashion influencers.
