Opening this Saturday, May 13th, 2017 at Jonathan LeVine Projects in Jersey City, New Jersey is British artist Prefab77′s exhilarating new solo exhibition, “Gangs, Tribes & Fraternities.”

Through an incredibly detailed process, Prefab77 creates visually powerful mixed media artworks merging the popular with the underground to strike a distinct, resonating anti-establishment chord against money, power and politics.

“Riot: Tired of Shit” by PREFAB77, 2019

The Art Scoop: PREFAB77’s work is political, anti-establishment, and unapologetically direct. "Riot: Tired of Shit" doesn’t ask for agreement - it reflects a state of exhaustion that comes from experiencing the same failures.

“Exhaustipated" (adj) too tired to give a shit

"Riot: Tired of Shit" is a great example of PREFAB77's social-political commentary.
