“Within this collection, there is a world of Kre8tion. You will see a lifetime of trials and tribulations in which I formulated Kre8ism,” KRE8 said. “It’s the sheer perseverance and dedication that allowed my passion to speak for me. I am abstract in its purest form. I am obscure, and complex at the same time. The mind of a madman is visionary. Seeing what can’t be seen. I will be the light that you need to pull you out of the dark. Because there is no darkness like ignorance.”
Complimentary admission is available to art museum members. Tickets for non-members are $25.
