New York City, New York Mar 29, 2018 (Issuewire.com) - Sonny – South African (British-born) street artist with international recognition will be exhibiting a new body of work, with never-before-seen canvas pieces titled, To The Bone in New York this May. The exhibition marks the culmination of a worldwide tour of mural painting in various cities around the world, including The Netherlands, Canada, Russia, USA, South Africa, UK, and others.
Sonny is using his exceptional artistry and this art initiative to increase awareness of the fast-approaching demise of our world’s wildlife and how this is intrinsically tied to humanity’s own ability to thrive.
A selection of limited edition hand-finished prints will be available for purchase during the show. Through the sales of Sonny’s artwork, he will also be raising funds to benefit Project C.A.T., a collaboration between Discovery Communications and World Wildlife Fund (WWF) which aims to ensure a healthy habitat for future generations of tigers by helping conserve nearly two million acres of protected land in India and Bhutan. One of the original artworks will be auctioned off at the event to further support Project C.A.T. and their work towards doubling the number of tigers in the wild by 2022.
Venue : 393 Broadway, New York, NY, 10013 (One block from Canal Street).
The exhibition will commence on Thursday May 17, 2018 through May 19, 2018. There will be a Press/ VIP Preview from 6-7 PM on that day, with the public opening commencing from 7PM. The exhibition will be open for viewing during the day, May 18 - 19, 2018, Noon - 6pm. Public can RSVP for opening night at https://sonnytothebone.splashthat.com/
Best known for his enormous and exquisitely detailed spray-painted murals, Sonny has recently honed his painting skills to present a series of large-scale canvas pieces. In To the Bone, Sonny depicts a story of regression and destruction - an epic of nature and our heritage deteriorating under the twin pressures of civilization and expansionism.
