A BIG high five to all the street art minded people in Bushwick! Bishop203 known for his street art, long beard and chill demeanor recently opened a street art boutique, or artique, what he lovingly calls his cute little shop Low Brow located at 143 Central Ave (corner Willoughby) in Bushwick.
We gladly accepted Bishop’s invitation to check out his impressive stock of spray paint and his walls, both indoor and outdoor, which are dedicated to street art.
Named as the opposition to high brow art, Low Brow Artique is both a (street) art gallery and a (street) art supply shop, which sounds like a great combination to us. One aspect of his business can support the other!
Low Brow carries the most beloved brands of spray paint at really favorable prices – Ironlak from $5.25, Black Montana for $6.25, and Gold Montana for $7.00. Sweet! Bishop203 also points out the Luquitex paints (both hard and soft body), canvases and wood panels. You can find gesso, sketch books and Krink. Soon you will also be able to find fun stuff made by artists such as jewelry in the store…
Above the counter you can observe in fascination (as I did) a collection of “vintage” Krylon spray cans. Not for sale, naturally…
Bishop203’s gallery space isn’t big but it looks great. Low Brow’s current art show opened this past Saturday and it features collaborations of two artists per piece. Every show at Low Brow will be complemented by a mural painted by the artists in the show. The mural is currently covered by awesome art by The Yok, Sheryo, See1, and Ski. However, this Saturday, August 18, our favorite street art collective Robots Will Kill is coming over and will be painting more stuff, which gives us a great opportunity to see some street art par excellence in the making…
