White Walls is pleased to present The Unearthly Paintings, the latest solo show by Amsterdam-based Calligraffiti artist Niels Shoe Meulman. The opening reception will be held on July 12 from 7 pm to 11 pm. The exhibition will be on view through August 9, 2014 and is free and open to the public.
In his third solo exhibition with White Walls, Niels Meulman (Shoe) expands on his philosophical musings on existence, outer space and science through a new series of typographical paintings.
These majestic paintings are a continuation of the signature style Shoe is best known for: a medieval style of “Calligraffiti” in which he uses the prefix, “un” as a symbol of reversal and words as images to express abstract ideas. However, in this body of work, Shoe also introduces new aspects such as technologically advanced paint and a non-linear writing order.
