The 'dAP presents its most progressive exhibit to date with graffiti art by Brown Bag Detoit at Energie Coffeehouse through July....
Brown Bag Detroit is not about painting overpasses or illegally adorning buildings with their creations. On canvas and found objects this creative duo, Rick Butynski and Jordan Roxwell, mastermind with paint markers, acrylic, house paint and of course spray paint fantastic wall art that still celebrates the rebellious artform of graffiti.
Rick Butynski's resume includes clients such as Coca Cola, Sirius Satellite Radio and the hip hop magazine- XXL and events such as the 2007 Fringe Festival and the Hip Hop Olympics sponsored by Red Bull. Butynski doesn't stop there he refines his craft enough to present it on canvas in the walls of such galleries as C-Pop, Detroit Contemporary and Johanson Charles Gallery. His urban expressionistic murals and wall art has pushed him to the forefront of the contemporary urban art scene.
Jordan Roxwell discovered his first inspiration in the flourishing Midwest 90's graffiti scene, where he was quickly considered to be one of Detroit's graffiti innovators. After spawning countless styles and techniques, Roxwell has turned his tastes to mixed media endeavors. Constantly merging mediums, he is inspired by varied combinations of caffeine and nicotine, no two works are ever the same. He brings the temp while trying to keep his art above par and manages to succeed every time.
This event is produced by the 'dAP, the 'dotte Arts Project. The 'dAP's goal is make Wyandotte and all of Downriver the venue for progressive and emerging art. With galleries and art friendly spaces like Energie Coffee and Smoothie Bar, River's Edge Gallery, Biddle Gallery and Modern Exchange Downriver is an extremely art forward area in Metro Detroit. The 'dAP is presenting an emerging and progressive arts, music and performing arts area at the Wyandotte Street Art Fair and it includes a graffiti wall painted by Brown Bag Detroit.
Butynski and Roxwell are painting the wall located on the corner of Sycamore and Biddle throughout the four days of the fair. They will be doing a collection during the show at Energie Coffee and Smoothie Bar to pay for the paint for the graffiti wall. Come to Energie Coffeehouse Friday June 22nd to meet, greet and donate to one of the most progressive events the city of Wyandotte has ever seen.
