Bigshot Toyworks and PIQ Products present All
City Style: The Grand Slam, an art show of one-of-a-kind custom painted All
City Style subway train models. The Grand Slam opens on November 22, 2014 at
4PM in the PIQ shop located in the Shuttle Passage of New York’s Grand Central
Terminal. The Grand Slam show runs concurrently with several different model
train shows on display in NYC during the holiday season.
Celebrating the
unique creative expressionism of late 20th century NYC, The Grand Slam art show
brings viewers back to the days when each passing train exploded with color and
style. The Grand Slam showcases the works of the pivotal artists that pioneered
this art form, as well as many others that have been inspired by the vibe,
aesthetic and spirit of the past. The All City Style 20-inch-long subway train
“canvas” allows these artists to express themselves freely while paying tribute
to the movement and culture that inspired a generation.
The idea for the All City Style platform was
conceived amidst the creative fervor of 1980s-era NYC by Klim Kozinevich of
Bigshot Toyworks. First unleashed in 2004, with the support of multiple gallery
shows worldwide, the All City Style trains were embraced by the global street
art, fine art, and designer toy communities. Artists of all styles agree that
the All City Style train is an excellent and unique platform for creative
expression. In celebration of a decade of All City Style trains, PIQ gallery
and Bigshot Toyworks proudly present The Grand Slam: the next chapter in this
ever-evolving concept.
