The Pandemic Gallery in Brooklyn presented the opening of UK street artist Sweet Toof’s second NYC solo show Derailed this past weekend. If you happen to journey around Bushwick or look out the windows of an elevated J Train; you would be hard pressed not to notice the bright pink gums, with bright white teeth, on Brooklyn’s streets and rooftops. Sweet Toof’s colorful cartoon iconography filled the large gallery, with a colossal mixture of works that included oil paintings, graffiti murals, sculpture and performance art.
The show’s vibe concentrated heavily on the U.S freight train graffiti scene, with handcrafted freight carsall covered with Toof’s iconic magenta gums with small additions made by NYC streets artists Keely, Smells, EKG and more. Toof clearly finds inspiration with this scene, one that fits more with graffiti’s NYC subway roots. Check out our gallery from our time at Pandemic, another successful opening that left smiles on everyone who got a chance to experience it.
