Brooklyn-based artist Anthony Michael Sneed is having a pop-up show at ARTJAIL this Thursday (from 7 to 10 p.m.), before heading to LA where his work was hand-selected by Shepard Fairey to be part of a West Coast exhibit. At this week's hometown exhibition, titled Hell For Hire, he introduces innocent, childlike Legos and 1980s 8-bit aesthetics to the evils of the world... like the KKK, and 9/11. (Do you think one day Lego will introduce sinister sets depicting these events?) For the above piece he used acrylic on canvas... and makes 9/11 look like a video game. Eh, we prefer his Kanye West piece.
