The Russell Gallery, http://www.ricdetroit.com, is proud to present Acid Forest: New Paintings by Malt/BrownBagDetroit, a veteran in Detroit’s growing “street art” scene. Acid Forest runs from May 7th to June 13th, with an opening reception held on May 7th from 6-9pm at the Gallery located in Building 3 of the Russell Industrial Center.
Malt began his career as a teen writing graffiti on the streets of Detroit, and in the years since, has evolved to include canvas as his primary vehicle. Malt’s bold style and investigative mind have garnered him first place honors at the Hip Hop Olympics Graffiti Art contest in 2004 and 2007. His canvas paintings unleash drama, controversy and beauty. Malt’s professional arm, BrownBagDetroit, boasts a client roster that includes Coca Cola, Sirius Satellite Radio and Discovery Networks.
The Russell Gallery is located in Building 3 of the Russell Industrial Center, 1600 Clay Ave. Detroit, MI 48211.
