"Immersive Exploration of the Urban Maze: RAE BK's 'Smash & Grab' Exhibition Uncovers the Pulsating Rhythms and Stories of New York City's Street Landscape.”

[Berlin, September 2-23, 2023] - Neurotitan Gallery transforms into a vibrant portal echoing with the spirit of New York City as Brooklyn-born artist RAE (aka RAE BK) presents his solo exhibition, "Smash & Grab." Prepare for an immersive experience delving into a vibrant world where raw energy and cultural innovation intersect in a dynamic and fast-paced rhythm.

"Smash & Grab" will serve up a tantalizing mix of RAE’s captivating found object sculptures and vibrant canvases. Drawing inspiration from the audacious spirit and competition that permeate the city's streets, RAE’s work serves as a fragmented tapestry of urban life, exploring themes of crime, financial struggles, race, overcrowding, and the fusion of cultures. Amidst this gritty backdrop, glimmers of hope emerge throughout RAE’s work as bursts of color, bits of text, shimmering glitter and enigmatic figures act as conduits for him to tell abstract tales from his distinctive perspective.

"Smash & Grab" is an invitation to the people of Berlin, a manifestation of New York City culture that defies clear definition yet exudes unmistakable authenticity.
