Black History Month at Museum of Graffiti ft. DAZE
This event has passed.
Join the Museum of Graffiti on Thursday, February 29, as they celebrate Black History Month with an Art Talk and exclusive print release featuring DAZE. Renowned artist Chris Daze Ellis has left an indelible mark on the street art and graffiti movements. Born in Brooklyn in 1962, Daze emerged during the early days of New York City’s graffiti scene in the 1970s, later transitioning to a studio practice. His dynamic artworks skillfully blend graffiti and fine art techniques, showcasing vibrant colors, bold gestures, and a unique fusion of lettering and figurative elements.
Recognized globally, Daze has been featured in exhibitions at notable institutions, including the Museum of the City of New York and the Musée d’Art Moderne et d'Art Contemporain in Nice, France. His paintings are found in private collections of notable figures such as Eric Clapton and Madonna, as well as permanent collections at The Whitney Museum and the Museum of Modern Art.
