We are related are thrilled to present the graffiti legend Ghost, NYC and his first exhibition in Denmark.

Ghost was born in the Bronx New York in the mid 60’s. In the graffiti world he is known and infamous for his humorous and ground breaking paintings as well as the iconic “GH” throw up on and around the NYC subway system.

His colorful and satirical drawings and paintings are often celebrating underground comics and poster artists such as Rick Griffin, but with added elements of an LSD nightmare.

The opening is Friday May 7 from 19-22 where original art works and silkscreen prints are available for sale.
There will be music from the psychedelic 70’s on the turntables and cheap drinks in the bar.

Exhibition date: Friday May 7 to Saturday June 19, 2010.
