Last Saturday New Orleans based street artist Priest made his mark on the inside and out of East Williamsburg venue, Mecka Gallery. While I cannot find much information on Priest as he keeps a low profile, (especially residing in the southeast), he put on a stellar exhibit. Most of his work is seen on the streets of various cities in Alabama and Louisiana, etc., very little in NYC, so this was a treat.
A variety of original stencils, graffiti covering the walls and a southern style garage sale was placed in the center of the gallery. Additionally, the first few people in line received a free original print while the other 50 in the door received a signed spray paint can. Always a nice touch!
Here's what you will see outside the gallery , yes, you know you're int he right place...
Dumpster diving, a fitting theme - searching for the relic in the trash....yep, I was.
The garage sale...
The show will run through Febraury 23, 2014 and the gallery is located at 65 Meadow Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206. For more: http://www.meckagallery.com and @meckanyc on Instagram.
