Los Angeles, CA (December 29, 2021) - Thinkspace Projects is thrilled to present two brand new shows to kick off 2022. In Gallery One, Imon Boy’s latest solo show, ‘No Regrets’ explores the crossover between the multi-disciplinary artist’s graffiti work and studio practice. Imon Boy creates varied work by placing characters within universally popular memes, representing people, and different destinations. He brings to the artistic plane everything that has formed him as a person throughout his life: graffiti, video games, internet, cinema, music, travel, etc. The key to the production of his art is the union of all of these influencing factors. These pop elements and his natural curiosity motivate the search for new forms and settings, leading to ultimately surprising work.

In Gallery Two, Stom500’s debut US solo show, ‘CORTEZ’ pays tribute to the different states of the USA. Stom500, who is based in France, wanted to travel throughout the country, despite finding it increasingly complicated due to the COVID health crisis. Determined to safely find inspiration, he planned a road trip designed to take him through as many states as possible. Drawing inspiration from this trip, Stom500 created ‘CORTEZ.’ With 8 pieces representing 8 different states, this exhibition plays with the notion of living together. Balance between the mature and the innocently curious is what exactly makes this collection so engaging.

In the viewing room, Chigozie Obi’s layered works and multi-disciplinary artist Z the Rat (aka Zeinab Diomande) will be on view.

All shows open January 8, 2022. On view until January 29, 2022 at Thinkspace Projects.
