The bold work of artist Skyler Grey (b. 2000, Los Angeles) explores the iconography of Mickey Mouse, Popeye and Batman alongside luxury brands Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Hermes. These maximalist compositions deftly combine silk-screens, acrylic, spraypaint and surfaces flocked with diamond dust. While the legacies of artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring inform Grey’s practice, his practive upends traditional notions of painting speaking to his experiences as a young Black male in modern America.

In 2019, Grey was commissioned to design and paint a unique Aventador S model by the Italian luxury sports automobile brand, Lamborghini. Only 19 years old at the time, he is the only artist to have ever touched a brush to a

Lamborghini vehicle, let alone “the first legal street art on wheels” (Forbes Magazine, 2019.) Gray’s work has been exhibited extensively at Avant Gallery (Miami and New York), at the Norton Museum of Art (Palm Beach, Florida), Trace Gallery (Switzerland), Graffik Gallery (London). His work is included in numerous private and public collections, including the University of Michigan Museum of Art, and Coral Springs Museum of Art (Florida). Among others, his work has been covered extensively in The Los Angeles Times, Forbes Magazine, Miami New Times, Paper Magazine, and The New York Post’s Page Six.

Grey has recently served as campaign creative director for brands such as McDonalds and Paypal.
