Burner: Exhibition of International Street Art
Making its North American debut at the Torrance Art Museum, presents a collection of street and graffiti art. The exhibition highlights works that are not simply painted or sculpted, but painstakingly crafted to “burn off the wall.” The term ‘burner,’ rooted in the street art lexicon, refers to a piece that stands out for its complexity and aesthetic boldness. Often illegal and always impressive, these works demand time, skill, and a bold style statement, setting the gold standard in graffiti and urban artistry.
One of the featured works is Waiting in Vain, a piece by Banksy, created in New York City and presented in its original form.
This exhibition is in collaboration with Fitz Contemporary.
