Write On Bros at Eyejammie Gallery


Sacha Jenkins SHR and Livingroom Johnston Star in “Write on Bros.”
Joint Show at Eyejammie Opens Tonight, May 9th, 2007

The artist/writers Sacha Jenkins SHR and Livingroom Johnston are teaming up to exhibit their works in a show entitled “Write On Bros.:  Paintings and Words by Sacha Jenkins SHR and the Legendary Livingroom Johnston.”

Hosted by the Eyejammie Fine Arts Gallery, the show will begin with an opening night reception tonight, Wednesday, May 9, 2007, from six until nine o’clock.

The exhibition will remain up through Saturday, June 2, 2007.  The Eyejammie Fine Arts Gallery is located at 516 W. 25th Street, Suite 306, in Manhattan.

“Write On Bros.” will be devoted - in Jenkins’s words - to works exploring “New York, slavery, clandestine emancipation, and the notion that God is one of us.”  For the most part, these works are paintings on canvas (Johnston) and on wood, canvas, and corrugated plastic (Jenkins).

Jenkins is variously known as the editorial director of Mass Appeal magazine and co-founder of the ego trip collective, whose most recent project was the reality television series “The White Rapper Show” for VH1.  His first show at Eyejammie, “Writers Convention:  A Collaborative Study of Pigments,” ran in November and December of 2005.

Johnston is a pioneering skateboarder, self-published novelist, and painter.  In 1989 he became the first black man to grace the cover of Transworld magazine.  Since March of 2004 he has written six well-received hand-made novels, beginning with “Harlem Remembers the Bronx.”  Johnston’s first one-man show of paintings occurred in New York in July of 2006.
