Fresh Flavor: Wall Bait Is A Catch!
You know the school of thought; one man’s trash is another’s man’s treasure? Well, Brooklyn-based artist Duke Riley really examines that trope through eye-catching, conversational work that dives deep into environmental dilemmas to connect the past and present…and future. With Wall Bait - which features playful and provocative fishing lures created from detritus found on northeast coastal beaches - Duke tells a tale of local pollution and global maritime effects in a fresh, thoughtful and dare we say, alluring fashion. This Flavor is a full on sensational sea of discovery, and once you lay eyes on it you’ll be hooked. Trust us!
P.S. If you're in NY now through April 2023, we highly recommend you catch Duke's DEATH TO THE LIVING, Long Live Trash exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum...where you can experience the wonder of Wall Bait and Tidal Fool (another fantastic Flavor) as they make a major splash on the entryway and main gallery walls!
