This exhibition is not just about displaying these diverse art forms; it seeks to ignite a broader dialogue about the evolving nature of art in today’s society.
The fine art scene is about to see a significant shift this Fall as Rehs Contemporary Gallery in New York prepares to unveil an unprecedented exhibition. Titled "The Art of Subversion," the show will launch on Friday, September 13th, from 5-8 PM, and promises to challenge traditional perceptions of art.
Curated by Lance Rehs, the exhibition will spotlight art forms that have long been marginalized by the fine art establishment. The showcase will feature a daring mix of tattoo-inspired art, street art, and functional glass art—genres often relegated to the periphery of the art world.

“The Art of Subversion” aims to redefine the boundaries of what is considered "fine art," embracing forms that have historically faced skepticism. Street art, once dismissed as mere vandalism, and tattoo art, long shunned despite its rich history, are finally gaining the recognition they deserve. Likewise, functional glass art, commonly associated with smoking pipes, has its own storied tradition but remains on the fringes of mainstream art circles.
This exhibition is not just about displaying these diverse art forms; it seeks to ignite a broader dialogue about the evolving nature of art in today’s society. Rehs Contemporary’s bold presentation of these underrepresented forms reflects a commitment to expanding the conversation around art and its cultural significance.
Contemporary Gallery is set to make waves in the art world with its upcoming exhibition, "The Art of Subversion," which opens to the public on Friday, September 13th. This ambitious show will run through October 11th and will be accessible free of charge.

The exhibition will feature a compelling lineup of contemporary artists who are redefining their genres. Street art will be represented by influential figures such as Chris Guest, Bloodshed, and Layercake, who bring a rebellious and vibrant energy to their works. Tattoo art will be highlighted through the intricate and colorful creations of Jackee Sandelands-Strom, offering new insights into this often-overlooked medium.
In the realm of functional glass art, the exhibition will make history by introducing prominent artists from the pipe-making community to the gallery scene. JP Toro, known for his innovative approach and artistic detail, and Nate Dizzle, renowned for his cutting-edge techniques in borosilicate glassblowing, will be featured.
Gallery director Lance Rehs describes the exhibition as a "revolutionary act," signaling a broader movement towards recognizing and celebrating diverse artistic expressions. "The Art of Subversion" aims to challenge conventional boundaries and pave the way for a more inclusive understanding of contemporary art.
An opening reception will be held on Friday, September 13th, from 5-8 PM and again on Saturday, September 14th, from 12-5 PM.
Rehs Contemporary Galleries, Inc., located in New York City, is a prominent venue for contemporary art, known for showcasing works that blend technical mastery with innovative approaches.
