Seek One, a Philadelphia street artist partnered with downtown Miami restaurant Zuma from for Miami Art week 2022. As Zuma’s first ever Art Week partnership Seek One created a one-of-a-kind artwork to sit at the front entrance of the restaurant. The mixed media piece is 4×12 feet and was created with the main lounge piece over the weekend.

Zuma is a restaurant that focuses on a modern take on Japanese meals. Seek One is known for artwork that mixes pop culture, vintage media, and street style and is a well-known artist featured throughout the world, including the Hamptons and Dubai.

The artwork was painted at Zuma during the event, and guests had the opportunity to talk to the artist while he painted. In addition to the artist and artwork, Zuma offered a custom cocktail and dessert menu to celebrate. Some of Seek One’s previous artwork has been printed on edible chocolate sheets and placed on top of the desserts.

When asked about the inspiration behind the event, Zuma’s PR team stated, “In curating a special artist collaboration for Art Basel, we wanted to bring together an activation that would really get the community and our beloved guests involved. Our collaboration is two-fold. To kick off Art Basel, our guests won’t just have the opportunity to see extraordinary art, they can be artists themselves, working one on one with Seek One to contribute to the community canvas. Closing out Art Basel, Zuma will feature NFTs created by Seek One, that guests can take photos with and create their own digital art that he will turn into an NFT and send to their digital wallet – again really getting our guests involved in this immersive artist collaboration.”

They hope this will be the first of many events. Seek One was the first as he has been a guest there for many years. Seek One stated, “I’ve been a patron of Zuma for years, Asian food is my favorite. So when I was approached by them I thought right away that this would be a great partnership.”

“In addition,” he continued. “I feel like they offer a high level of service and innovation which is something I strive for in my own work. We also worked on some cool details to make this event special. Some of which include a custom art week cocktail menu and special desserts with some of my art printed on sheets of chocolate.”

Zuma’s team has always loved Art Basel week in Miami and was excited to be a part of this exhibition and to bring the community together with a blend of art and food. “Zuma is all about vibrancy and energy and we found his contemporary style to have the same ethos and philosophy.”
