Art Direction / Project Manager - Green Villain
Green Villain announces an artistic partnership with Kearny Point, bringing local artists to create site-specific murals across their development site.
Kearny Point is a former ship-making facility which is currently being adapted to provide office space and recreational facilities for the region. Over 10 acres of park space and several environmentally sustainable buildings will house light industrial, office space and artist studios. Kearny Point’s goal is to engage emerging businesses across the Metropolitan area in their state of the art campus which will continue to evolve for years to come.
The first installation is a spray-painted wall by Jersey City based, Distort. He was educated locally and keeps his identity shrouded while he continues to blur the lines between graffiti writer and fine artist. His style range from Caravaggio-like etched portraits to highway side graffiti that makes you wonder, “How did he do that?”
The site is located on the South West side of the Kearny Point canvas or at about 135 Central Avenue, Kearny NJ just next to the South Kearny Police Station.
