Entitled “Punch,” the extensive presentation features original artworks by Abney’s close friends and leading creatives such as Nina Chanel Abney, Reginald Sylvester II, Derrick Adams, Trevor Andrew aka GucciGhost, Alexandra Bell, Katherine Bernhardt, Koichi Sato, and more. Pieces include paintings, sculptures, and photographs that draw inspiration from graffiti, design, and the digital age. Collectively, the works are predominantly figurative in nature, highlighting socio-political issues and current events.
