This dude is nice with the brush and graphics!
Whaddup!!!On Thursday, July 17th, one of my homies, the extra talented graphic artist and painter Craig "Flux" Singleton aka C. Flux Sing, is set to launch his website and show off some new work from 7 to 10 p.m. It's free, plus free valet and some surprises at the posh gastropub in Midtown, TAP!
It is really cool of a hot eatery like TAP to support phenomenal local talent like C. Flux Sing along with Subculture Art and Cathead Vodka, who also keeps it real when it comes to the arts! Try and stop by for some free bites, drink specials, and the live spinning by the lovely DJ Aquaria upstairs. This will be a great way to start your weekend.
Here is Flux's Bio:
Craig “Flux” Singleton aka C. Flux Sing
While hundreds
of clubgoers danced to the infectious rhythms honoring the African music legend
Fela Kuti, there was also a large crowd incredibly standing still gawking at
the live artwork being created by Atlanta-based artist Craig “Flux”
Singleton aka C. Flux Sing. Using marker and acrylic
paint, Sing's amalgam of pastels and primary colors bordered by bold black
lines collectively tell the story of the Black struggle, unity, humor, beauty…
Somehow he takes themes from opposite extremes and vibrantly fuses them
together to create masterpieces that quickly are purchased to adorn walls
throughout the U.S.
Whether it’s a
hipster or an executive of a major corporation, a growing legion of admires are
happily supporting C. Flux Sing’s amazing work.
An import from
Laurelton, New York, Mr. Sing has made Atlanta his home for more than a decade.
However, getting his just recognition as one of the city’s most revered artists
took patience. Currently, Georgia's capital is taking on a revolutionary stance
by finally embracing art in all its facets; in particular, Sing’s penchant for
using vibrant color schemes which captivatingly tell the true story of the
Black experience. But while he shines as a fine artist who consistently sells
his artwork during exhibits including the globetrotting Art, Beats + Lyrics,
“24 Reasons to Live”, I'm A Beast, and other productions which strive on
showcasing particularly urban art created by the avant-garde, Sing refuses to
be pigeonholed. Major corporations including Boost Mobile, And 1, Scion, and
New Balance regularly hire him and his effortless grasp for graphic design,
print media, and branding.
So is there a
way to describe Sing’s style?
“I could never
define what my style is,” Sing says after deep thought. “It's continuously changing
due to my self-growth and inspiration. I get bored easily so I am always driven
to do something new that pushes the boundaries. I am inspired by comic strips,
comic books, graffiti, abstract, graphic design, urban decay, surrealism and
people; these are things that change randomly so there is always something new
to create.”
Although Sing’s
creativity can be fueled from numerous outside sources and appear impulsive,
his goals are very solid and leave no room for debate. “I really want to travel
and spread my fine arts across the world,” he unveils. “I want to do large
conceptual installations that inspire change; especially murals. It would be
great to do it by myself, but I am equally open to do it with a union of
artists.” Laughing, he concludes, “The end result is I really want to inspire
children. It may sound cliché, but they truly represent the future. No one can
argue that.”
So whether it’s
heading a new branding project for a major corporation based in a skyscraper in
Atlanta’s bustling Midtown business district, or adorning a side of a building
in Nairobi with a vibrant mural promoting self-determination, C.Flux Sing will
always have an audience who will appreciate art that comes from the heart.
