Graffiti Art by Xavi heats things up in August at Nuwandart

On Friday August 1st, Nuwandart presents their new exhibition of cutting edge artwork. Local artist Xavi, (AKA Jason Pannenton) will present his newest creations as well as some old favorites.

Xavi, discovered Graffiti art at the tender age of 11. This awakened in him deep feelings of wonder, passion, and recognition of the unspeakable beauty and potency of God's Creativity. Graffiti Art became Xavi's primary passion throughout High School while he simultaneously received traditional schooling in art.

During High School Xavi experienced the power and expression in the techno music and art of the rave scene. Xavi was inspired by the music and artwork of the whole rave scene. The combination of the graffiti and the rave art resulted in an alchemical combination of the two, which lead to a volcanic explosion of creative
expression.

We are excited about sharing this original and passionate artwork with the public. The show will run through the month of August. For more information please call the gallery at 488-4ART or visit the artist's website at www.podcollective.com.
