Yeelen Gallery BACK TO BLACK Basel Reception

Saturday, December 9th from 10pm – till, join us at Yeelen Gallery for their annual BACK TO BACK Reception celebrating the creative influence of diversity, and is designed as a beacon to light the way for future collaborations and projects amongst cultural tastemakers. Guests will enjoy music by DJ LL Cool Blaze and many more, sip signature cocktails and experience the gallery’s Basel exhibition SUBTEXT December 5-10. Yeelen is pleased to present SUBTEXT, a solo exhibition featuring the work of New York City based artist Wyatt Gallery, during Art Basel Miami Week. The artist will be present. Exhibition is on view December 5th – January 31st, 2018.

In SUBTEXT, Wyatt Gallery transforms temporarily unused advertising walls within the subway of New York City from unintentional, evolving abstractions made from remnants of torn posters, paint, graffiti, and glue – into UV cured photographic palimpsests that reference the period of black paintings by Robert Rauschenberg in the 1950’s or French décollage art of the 1960’s Nouveau Réalisme movement.
