After working and exhibiting for many years as a street artist, abstract painter and photographer under a variety of pseudonyms, the artist will integrate for the first time his differnt approaches under the artistic concept of XOOOOX. Like a modern day pilgrim, XOOOOX wanders through the various paths of art.

This Spring 2011 Circleculture Gallery is exhibiting new works by the Berlin-based artist XOOOOX. His third exhibition at the gallery, PILGRIM, BABY! is the most personal thus far, merging the artist’s mediums of street art, abstract painting and photography for the first time.

February, 25 - March, 26

Opening on Friday, February, 25 from 6 pm
