Opening Reception and Book Signing - December 8th at 7pm
A collection of Morley’s art, featuring fan favorite prints, as well as some new original pieces, “A Million Fractured Moments Made Whole” will be showcased at Ewkuks Gallery on Fairfax in Los Angeles. During the opening of Morley’s new show, we will also be celebrating the release of Morley's new book: "Let's Burn This Moment Down to the Filter" featuring original art and a book signing.
"Morley mixes the immediacy of street art with the revolutionary qualities of empathy and wisdom. His work surprises me every time I see it in the wild, and does something that is increasingly hard to pull off: it reminds me that there is beauty and kindness in the world.” - Dave Holmes, author of: Party Of One: A Memoir in 21 Songs
Morley is a Los Angeles–based street artist. Blending humor, hope and his unique perspective on life, he specializes in bold, typographic posters that he wheatpastes throughout the urban landscape. Disregarding legal boundaries and personal safety, Morley’s art is a desperate rallying cry against cynicism and apathy. His newest book, LET’S BURN THIS MOMENT DOWN TO THE FILTER collects hundreds of pieces of art created for the street, alongside intimate commentary from the artist, a foreword by Everclear frontman Art Alexakis, and a two-sided detachable poster! It offers a rare glimpse inside a clandestine art form and insight into the motivation that leads someone to risk life and limb in the pursuit of creative expression.
Join us in celebrating a milestone in Morley’s prolific art career by taking in his collection of work, as well as grabbing a copy of his new book on Saturday, December 8th at 7pm. Buy or bring a copy of the book and you'll receive a free 24x36 inch poster!

— Davy Rothbart (creator of Found Magazine, author of My Heart is an Idiot, and contributor to This (American Life)

He provides a cool tonic for the heat and isolation of Los Angeles. "
