Baby it’s a Green Light

Display Gallery’s latest exhibition, Baby It’s A Green Light showcases work by London born, New York based visual artist David King Reuben.
Fluent in multiple artistic practices – etchings, lithographs, silkscreens, coloured drawings and digital-hand-mixed prints – Reuben doesn’t fit one particular mould. Growing up in an orthodox Jewish household the artist sought escapism through art, a world without rules and boundaries.

With tongue in cheek, Reuben plunders references from history, mythology, religion and social culture before giving them all a mighty spin, resulting in a humorous satirical twist on social commentary.
Alongside the pictures exhibited upstairs, the artist is also planning to place his artistic practice directly to the gallery walls downstairs, truly making the gallery his own. Baby It’s A Green Light will be previewing simultaneously with a large painting show in New York City in Andy Warhol’s late studio – now Soho Arts Club.
