BROOKLYN STREET ART LOVES YOU MORE EVERY DAY
Museum of Graffiti Unveils “A Mouthful of Crome”: A Reflective Exhibition on the Evolution of a Graffiti Legend.
Set to debut on March 5 at Miami’s Museum of Graffiti, the “A Mouthful of Chrome” exhibition spotlights the work of Crome a graffiti artist who made his mark across South Florida in the 1990s. Alongside his roommate Crook, they tagged surfaces across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties, from stop signs to massive walls. One of their most notable works was a mural painted in broad daylight on the defunct RC Cola factory wall in Wynwood, visible from I-95.
Their bold actions attracted attention from law enforcement, leading to Crook’s arrest shortly after. The State Attorney General pushed for an extravagant one-million-dollar bond, which the judge rejected, sending a message to other graffiti artists.
Despite the legal trouble, Crome continued his artistic journey. He shifted to abstract portraits on canvas and paper, exploring new avenues beyond the streets.
“Guests of the exhibit can expect masterful paintings that communicate the artist’s raw emotion, a dedication to a life of art, and an honest perspective on life in an urban environment where people’s dreams are often lost and free thinkers are rarely celebrated, Crome’s paintings celebrate the marginalized and the fighters that inspire him to stay in the game as a working artist.” – Alan Ket
In an unprecedented homage to one of graffiti’s most transformative periods, the Museum of Graffiti proudly presents “A Mouthful of Crome,” a showcase of new works by the artist Crome, commemorating 25 years since his pivotal role in Miami’s graffiti history. The exhibition opens to the public on March 5, 2024, at the heart of the Wynwood Art District.
