If there’s one thing renowned celebrity graffiti artist, Alec Monopoly, knows how to do, it’s how to make a lasting impression. And that is exactly what Alec Monopoly did last night as he celebrated his 32nd birthday party as well as his exclusive representation by Eden Fine Art with the opening of his latest exhibition at the SoHo based gallery.
The show was inspired by Robert De Niro’s films, including Heat, Godfather, Taxi Driver and Goodfellas, as well as his signature muse: the Monopoly Man. In addition to unveiling over 25 new pieces of art, the party also featured impromptu dance performances throughout the 4-level gallery, sounds by DJs Alexandra Richards and Alix Brown, food trucks serving fries out of Monopoly-inspired top hats, and a custom designed graffiti cake.
Alec Monopoly is the alias of the unidentified art provocateur who makes it a point to never reveal his face. This fête marked the native New Yorker’s first NYC-based exhibit in over 10 years. His most recent collaborations include work with Madonna, AVICII, Philipp Plein and Tag Heuer.
Attendees included: The Clermont Twins, Julia Fox, Niki Takes, Nicole Pollard, Logan Horne, Ezra J William, Nick Murphy (also known as Chet Faker), Alex Carapetis, Oskar Metsavaht, Vika Levina, Riccardo Ambrosio, and Alex Ordonez.
