“Battle of the Heroes” by Brandon Bird (Click to Expand)
Our man Brandon Bird, the New Painter of Light, has this wonderful piece in the I Am 8 Bit exhibition at Gallery 1988 here in Los Angeles. I hit up the opening last night, and it was pure madness — a line of maybe 150 people snaking out the door of the jam packed gallery, all there to see an art exhibition inspired by video games.
Interpretations and styles ran the gamut, though I noticed a particular fondness for Wario and Joust. If you’re in LA, it’s worth a visit, as the exhibition runs through May 12th.
