BIG
KILL-O-RAMA
ART

@, graffiti artists are capable of the
transition from the street to the art
gallery, but tradition has never stopped
the Lower Mainland’s “12 Midnite”.

Shon Franks, a.k.a. “12 Midnite”, is
bringing his infamous street graffiti art
to the Theatre Foyer Gallery at
Douglas College this February and
March.

The show, “Big Kill-O-Rama Art” will
feature |2 Midnite’s sometimes violent
and stark images of modern life.

The depictions are often brutal. The
work “Patriotism” shows a stylized
Statue of Liberty holding aloft a
handgun instead of the familiar flame
of justice. Other works show
warplanes dropping lifeless humans
instead of bombs.

“| like to show violence in expressive

ways, reducing it to the lowest

common denominator,” says |2 Mid-
ite.

The showing at Douglas College runs
from February 13 to March 13, and
admission is free.

|2 Midnite has presented several local

ing Emily Carr College of Art and
Design. He is also the lead singer for
the band Young Adults.
