Bam Margera paintings

“Bam Margera & Friends” marks the first public exhibition for artists Bam Margera, Ryan Gee and Geoff “Red Mohawk”. The show explores edgy, satirical and contemporary punk imagery on topics such as social reform, sex, religion and law. Through the use of vibrant colors, exciting imagery, and uncommon choices in subject matter “Bam Margera & Friends” creates a lively exhibition that embodies the raw energy shown throughout the exhibition.

Key themes in Margera’s works are recurring religious, sexual and pop culture symbols, which are highlighted in his use of vibrant color. Margera creates a parallel of subtle social commentary that causes an echoing nostalgic theme consistent throughout his works that is both insightful and enjoyable.

Geoff Blake and Ryan Gee exhibit their expertise with signature panoramic views of skateboard sequences, muscle cars and classic pin-up model shoots. As Philadelphia natives, both Gee and Blake use key local landscapes as the backdrops for their raw and lively images.

With such a dynamic group show "Bam Margera & Friends" set in their hometown of Philadelphia, is certain to be a can't miss exhibition.
