Starting in September, DiverseWorks dock will be the backdrop for a rotating series of large-scale works by some of Houston’s most accomplished and sought after street artists. Every 8 weeks, a new artist reveals Grandalism, showcasing the raw talent and innovation of the city’s freshest and most prolific urban artists selected by GONZO247, one of Houston’s most notable street art legends.
Grandalism explores the combination of street art’s traditional large scale format, its “grand” reaction from the public, and sometimes its unappreciated label of vandalism.
GONZO247 is a native Houstonian who was exposed to graffiti and began his pursuit in 1984 as an artist. GONZO247’s list of achievements includes opening Aerosol Warfare Gallery, producing a graffiti video series, establishing a Houston Wall of Fame (the city’s largest art production of its kind) and working with top brands on advertising campaigns that speak to urban communities.
