Hypeart Elevated Spray Paint at SCOPE Art Show in Miami
Hypeart, the contemporary art platform, recently showcased at the SCOPE Art Show in South Beach, Miami, delving into the transformative possibilities of spray paint in contemporary art. Running from December 3-8, 2024, the exhibition featured artists who transcend the traditional boundaries of street art and graffiti, reimagining the medium with experimental approaches to texture, layering, and mixed media to challenge conventional ideas of space, movement, and form.
Key highlights included KATSU’s “Untitled (Drone Smile)” series, created with autonomous drones, presented against a 12-foot vinyl wall adorned with his AI Criminal portraits—AI-generated faces of infamous figures. This installation examined the evolving interplay between humans and machines, blurring the lines between human craft and robotic precision.
Another standout was Stickymonger’s six-foot-tall shaped canvas, “Shall We Dance,” depicting her signature ethereal female figure embracing a spaghetti-like monster. Crafted with water-based spray paint, the work exuded a soft, pastel-like quality. Additionally, five unique works by Brooklyn-based UFO907 were showcased, featuring his quirky, hand-painted characters inspired by comics like Kilroy and street culture.
In alignment with SCOPE’s theme of Interdependence, Hypeart’s exhibition explored the evolution of spray paint as a medium for creative expression. It captured the tension between control and chaos, reflecting the unpredictability of the human experience. Spray paint became a symbol of artistic freedom, embodying the balance between intention and spontaneity in the act of creation.
