"Picasso Biggie"
Damon Dash'sPoppington art establishment, located in the lower east side of Manhattan, was poppin' this past week featuring illy artist Lawrence Atoigue, who goes by the moniker, Naturel. Naturel's pop culture, cubism illustrations took center stage of his first solo exhibition called "To Die For". His vivid collection of work references urban, popular, legendary icons like Notorious B.I.G, Kanye West, Tupac and Basquiat. He intertwines the fashion world, especially, high fashion signature designs in some of his pieces. Also, showing love to the sneaker head lifestyle to flashy, gold chains draped over delicate roses or a faceless 'nekkid' woman with a choice drink, clean kicks or something to puff isn't far from his mind. Naturel's work reflects the wants and desires of many of our daily lives.
