Skewville

This piece of original artwork comes ready to hang.

This September 21st through the 28th, Murals In The Market makes a triumphant return to Detroit’s Historic Eastern Market as more than 50+ local and international artists will be painting live throughout the district over the course of eight days in the third year of the city’s only international mural festival. Adding to Detroit’s unique history of place making and public art, we are proud to announce our new partnership with the William Davidson Foundation and welcome back the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and Eastern Market Corporation for this magnificent public arts festival.

Skewville, formed in 1996, has been prolific in the street art scene way before it even became a scene. Most known for their silkscreen wooden sneakers that were tossed over thousands of telephone wires worldwide, Ad and twin brother Droo have now evolved into the gallery scene making paintings, prints and sculptures as well as elaborate installations.

While Ad, fully versed in all other skewville mediums, he solely tackles the painting aspect of the Skewville repertoire, while Droo is the master of his own 3D simplicity. Both artist often have different processes , but their final pieces always resonates that same Skewville Flavor.
