Sat 11/1 @ 5PM

If your eyes have been at all open, you’ve seen the work of Bob Peck around town. Unlike many of the pedestrian, somewhat anonymous murals popping up everywhere, his angular, movement-filled style is uniquely his. Like many of the better local mural artists, he started out as an “outlaw” doing graffiti before people started to pay attention and commission his work.

Now he’ll be doing what he calls a “retrospective showcase” of his work (even though he’s more mid-career), a one-night-only event taking place, appropriately at Graffiti HeArt, an organization dedicated to getting people to take graffiti taggers seriously as artists.

In the Blink of an Eye is a solo show that will include his work from the 1990s through today. The ground floor of the two-story space will feature prints of the graffiti art he did  around town in the ’90s and ’00s, along with sketchbooks and other original pieces from that same era. Walk up the stairs and you’ll see a mix of artwork, from abstract paintings to prints of some of his public art, to three-dimensional and sculptural work.  There will also be narrative blurbs on both floors sharing the background of the pieces, and how Peck’s work evolved on the street and in his studio.

There will be “plenty of refreshments,” we’re promised and “an awesome playlist of music” at this free event. He adds that it’s “child friendly, as long as they are supervised at all times by an adult.”
