Rime's Conclusions at Jonathan LeVine Gallery
B rooklyn-based graffiti artist Joseph Tierne, better known as, Rime has been M.I.A. for some time now but it may had been for the best. The Mad Society King's affiliate, Rime made his return last night, debuting his solo exhibition entitled Conclusions at the Jonathan LeVine Gallery in New York City.
Conclusions' included new work executed on both canvas and paper substrates filled with cartoon influenced, outlandish life experiences and idiosyncratic storytelling. Look below, for a behind-the-scenes pictorial of Rime creating for Conclusions, as well as a preview of last night's show.
"Social relationships are the main source of inspiration for RIME’s work. By combining an assortment of unique symbols, text and characters, he communicates erotic, dysfunctional and humorous stories taken from his everyday life. This autobiographical process allows RIME to emotionally invest in every piece, making the finished canvas true even if exaggerated."
