New York, NY, 10-12-2020. Sour Mouse, a new venue that opened on the lower east side (110 Delancey St. @ Essex St.) is thrilled to present “Electro Magnetic,” a solo show by Indie 184. The native New York street-artist of Dominican descent has been a female pioneer in the graffiti and street-art arena for two decades. “Electro Magnetic,” is a colorful collection of new artworks that pay homage to powerful icons of the present and past, including Madonna, Jayne Mansfield, Rhianna, Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor and more.
Indie 184 aka Soraya Marquez is best known for her eye-catching mixed media pieces featuring the glamorous American film stars of yesteryear with a “happy and flamboyant” twist. While street art and old Hollywood seem an incongruous combination, the timeless countenance of the seductive starlets appear to be right at home – immersed in a colorful thicket of neon paint, and bubble text; often of dynamic messaging.
The opening reception will take place on Thursday, Oct 15, from 6pm to 10pm, and the show will be on view until Sat, Nov 14th. The artist will be attending the 6opening, and press are welcome to do a walk through of the space from 5pm to 6pm leading to the public opening.
Lower East Side native Aaron Ho, the co-founder of Sour Mouse, will also be on site and could discuss the challenges of opening a new business during the pandemic, as well as his plans to provide fun recreational opportunities for New Yorkers who are still navigating a difficult year.
