Nick Myerhoff
Performance Painting at GENART
EVENT
This was an extravagant party put on by Nokia at Mezzanine in
San Francisco. The party included live performances from Magic
Bullets and hand painted
kicks by Sole Junky. Charm from GenArt,
a leading arts and entertainment organization, discovered Nick
at a local trade show and recruited him to perform. Nick quickly
discarded the typical "single painting with an easel"
option for an ambitious approach where he declared he would
paint a wall of canvases.
Nick managed to paint over 15 canvases during the 6 hours of
live painting as well as 25 hats, many of which were sold at
the event. Nick gave 50% of the proceeds of the art to GenArt.
