KID ZOOM "THIS CITY WILL EAT ME ALIVE"

Last night, Saturday December 11th, NYC’s Meat Packing District was introduced to the talented, ingenious and inimitable Kid Zoom as he opened his first solo exhibit “This City Will Eat Me Alive”. The title of the exhibit brilliantly plays on words and almost conceptualizes the fact that this NYC based artist is a native of Australia. Contrarily, the caliber of his work and the large turnout unquestionably signifies that Kid Zoom is in his element as his art brings that breath of fresh air that NYC was more than ready for. Upon entering the show room one can see canvases lining the walls (most of which are on a larger scale), various color coated machetes, and dead in the center of all the creativity, stands a gigantic yet captivating bear. Kid Zoom utilized aerosol spray cans in each of his pieces but on first glance one might have thought otherwise because of his controlled hand skills, attention to detail, and execution. As a graffiti artist emerging into the NYC gallery scene Kid Zoom is raising the bar. Words cannot express his art so take a look below and let his work speak for itself. You can see the exhibit in person at:
