Style Savage | April 2008

111 Minna Gallery is delighted to present Vulcan’s STYLE SAVAGE.  Bred in New York and based in San Francisco, Vulcan is now firmly entrenched in the modern school of street art and fine art convergence. Breaking out of stereotypical generalizations like “graffiti” and “street art,” terms misused to denote a diluted or primitive art form, Vulcan empowers his work with color, rhythm, grace, movement and style.

April 3-28th.

“I have always been fascinated by graphics in motion. Growing up in New York City, I would watch pieces go by on the subways. My brain would snap a picture and capture one particular detail of the whole piece. Now I paint with the same approach. I want to capture the color and energy of a particular moment in time.” –Vulcan

Starting his gallery career at New York’s FUN GALLERY in the mid-1980s, and with group shows in New York and Switzerland soon after, Vulcan is adept at making art both in public and for a gallery setting, viewing the diverse modes of exhibition as powerful ways to display his unique artistic vision to a wide audience. As a master of the modern school of street and fine art, Vulcan has guest lectured at such universities as NYU and Yale.

With commissions ranging from painting servers at Google’s Mountain View headquarters, creating wallpapers for a European mobile phone company, executing a mural for the Hall of Fame in Spanish Harlem and designing artwork for Twisted Sister’s Come out and Play album, Vulcan has an eclectic diverse patron base that mirrors his revolutionary and inclusive style.ntinuum movie father
