Devin Troy Strother "They should've never given you niggas money" @ Richard Heller Gallery in Los Angeles

On view now, Los Angeles-based artist Devin Troy Strother presents "They should've never given you niggas money" at Richard Heller Gallery. The exhibition takes its name from a line in a comedy sketch about Rick James by the great comedian Dave Chappelle. Artist Statement: "Behind any work that I do there’s always an element of humor. The current works revisit some previous motifs, such as the aluminum painted sculptures, but also go in a new direction with installation and neon. Neon, wallpaper and carpet are all areas that I’m interested in exploring more, as well as how to do a show that may have a lot going on in a room while, at the same time, have the room not feel overbearing with works."  They should've never given you niggas money will be on view until December 19, 2015 at Richard Heller Gallery in Los Angeles.
