RAE solo show 'Nocturnal Trips'

About

Introducing the up and coming street artist RAE, born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. This will be his first show in London. The artists says: 'Nocturnal Trips' means everything and nothing about how art relates to my existence. In a literal sense, it deals with the the "trips" I take to install the work I put up on the streets at night and how the city seems a lot different when your scheming as opposed to getting a latte. In a more metaphorical sense, 'Nocturnal Trips' deals with the thoughts, flashbacks and projections I think about when going in and out of an awake-sleep state in the middle of the night. The body may be physically resting but the mind continues to work. I get more work done tossing and turning in my bed, getting up to take a pee or checking my front window for crimes being committed then I do most mid-days. Those nocturnal thoughts, however absurd or realistic they may be, play out as random images, in a non-sensical way, but are usually the most fruitful and translatable to my work'.
