BROOKLYN STREET ART LOVES YOU MORE EVERY DAY‘Nature Will Always Win’
Street Artist Shark Toof clips the short chain on the animal inside for his debut solo gallery exhibit with paintings and portraits of fantasy future hybrids with an air of rough trade, yet cuddly.

Known around New York for his schools of large Zen master sharks swimming proudly and quietly in formation across ever greater lengths of the city’s walls, Mr. Toof brashly expands his animal vocabulary here to include furry chested lounge singers, knife carrying romantic astrologists, forlorn front desk motel tramps with long pointy teef – and any other kind of role playing character he can coax from your subconscious.

Cooking with a killer instinct, tonight’s chef Shark Toof blows the trucker caps off expectations with this astonishing painting/illustration/finished/raw visual stew served over a bed of fresh graffiti tags. You’ll be too full for dessert, but maybe you would like your paws massaged?

From the LeBASSE projects website:
“After being featured in the recent Portsmouth Museum of Art’s
‘Street’ exhibition, Shark Toof returns to LA for his first major solo
gallery show. ‘Nature Will Always Win’ will feature a series of
paintings in Shark Toof’s signature style, but will surprise his fans
with a greater technical acumen than his traditional work on the
streets”.
