Gerard Pefung draws upon the rich traditions and cultures of Africa and hip hop as inspiration, working mainly with paint and mixed media.
Gerard is also the 2012 Omaha Entertainment Award (OEA) Emerging Artist Recipient https://www.facebook.com/pg/ArtistGerardPefung/ |
The five facets to Pefung’s work include artwork, murals, merch, live art, and outreach.
ARTWORK Pefung’s art is influenced by rich African culture, hip hop, and the people he meets. MURALS Empty urban walls are the canvas, and aerosol cans are the brush; Pefung transforms cement walls into inspirational works of art. MERCH Pefung is a featured artist at Curbside Clothing and is always working on new creations so that people can make a statement with what they wear and support local art simultaneously. LIVE ART Art does not need to only be something we study once it's complete. Attending one of Pefung’s live art performances is a wonderful way to experience the artistic process firsthand. OUTREACH Pefung mentors inner-city youth to help them find a voice and confidently express it, using art as the outlet. |
