DEE DEE RAMONE: A Memorial Exhibition
Opening Reception: Friday, October 26 โข 8 PM โ 11 PM
Exhibition Dates: October 27 โ November 17
I have been a fan of the Ramones since I got into punk rock in 1984. The Ramones always impressed me with their style, blending a sense of humor with aggression and pop melody. I did not realize Dee Dee Ramone made art until a few years ago, but it does not surprise me that Dee Dee mixes the same sensibilities in his art that the Ramones had as a band. In Dee Deeโs art there is a connection to Warholโs Pop art, Basquiatโs street scrawl, and Punkโs sense of humor and antagonism that feels like an uninhibited visual manifestation of the fun and bizarre world of Dee Dee. I feel very lucky that Subliminal Projects can showcase these paintings and share the visual dimension of Dee Deeโs remarkable creativity.
