Matt Gondek
ABOUT THE MURAL:
Painted on the south side of Parlor KC, a collective type of restaurant incubator at 1707 Locust, this mural has been welcoming both mural enthusiasts and hungry mouths since the 2018 festival.
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
“Matt Gondek is a Deconstructive Pop Artist, whose work is possessed with a punk rock spirit, celebrating rebellion and destruction. With a visceral pop color palette and a disarmingly playful tone, he tears down cartoon idols, akin to slaughtering our modern day gods. Born in 1982, his creative voice is rooted in the 90s; as a true conduit of his generation and their potentially pointless search for meaning and purpose amidst a cruel life in a flawed world. He boasts sold out exhibitions in his home of Los Angeles as well as New York, Paris, Bangkok, and Hong Kong.” - MattGondek.com
