A visual exhibition is set to open on September 8th and 13th at Subliminal Projects and FACTION Art Projects respectively. While the former is located in Los Angeles, the later is in New York City, making this art exhibit a bi-coastal experience. The two organizations tap into renowned talents like Shepard Fairey, Guerrilla Girls, Wayne White, Scott Albrecht, Jenny Holzer and more for a visual exhibition simply titled 'Visual Language.'
The themes of the event concern themselves with imagery, symbols and words associated with contemporary Western culture. The featured works display a wide sense of diversity and produce relevant social commentary through different mediums — from D*Face's gun sculpture that fluidly traces the word 'Peace' to Fairey's stylized stencil advocating for free speech.
