This month the Distillery Gallery is hosting a cool little show curated by the members of Project SF themselves…called “Friends With Benefits“. The concept, developed and pitched by Gregory Burdett of Project SF, was for each of the members of Project SF to pick an artist outside of the group to collaborate with on one new piece. Gregs’ awesome concept is an effort to get back to the roots of Project SF…collaboration!
For me it seemed like the perfect opportunity to work with someone whose work I admired but I didn’t know all that well… and enter Preys UPS.
I’ve known of Preys for a long time now… Been a fan of his graffiti and all of the UPS crew since I first started paying attention to them while I was living in RI in the 90s. He has been pushing the boundaries of traditional graffiti and letterforms since before it was cool. I didn’t get to meet and chill with him until I went to Miami for Art Basel last year.. only to realize he lived down the street in Boston. Funny how that happens….
Anyway… Preys and I made a painting together…and he made a few more of his own. They will all be on display along with several other amazing collaborative projects at the Distillery Gallery THIS THURSDAY!
Enough talk…time for the pics.
