Wood You March: Plywood as Canvas

Photos by Kurt Boone

Renowned NYC graffiti artist Optimo NYC curated an exhibition of plywood boards painted on retail storefronts in 2020 in support of the Black Lives Matter movement at Sun Art NYC gallery in Brooklyn. In addition to plywood boards from 2020, the show displayed other works of art on wood at the opening reception on 3/8/2023.

The gallery had great lighting with plenty of space to enjoy the art on the wall and some of New York’s top artists were in attendance, including Konstance Patton, Amir Diop, SacSix, Jeff Rose King, and J. Roberson. Notably, Daniel Sacks of Mana Public Arts and Kevin Mastman, director of Plywood Renaissance, also showed up. Check out the photos from opening reception in the gallery.
