The Eyejammie Fine Arts Gallery was founded in March of 2003 on the conviction that the time was ripe for a gallery devoted to hip-hop imagery. Hip-hop culture is now 30 years old. It's bigger and more influential than ever before. It's also popular all over the world. That combination of depth, reach, and ongoing vitality sustains eyejammie.
Hip-Hop's ceaseless production of lavish and eyepopping imagery has always been a large part of its appeal. Indeed, the culture's great stars - so vivid, passionate, and original -- are a photographer's dream. There's hardly ever been a photo of Flavor Flav, Snoop Dogg or Queen Latifah that wasn't iconic. Eyejammie will demonstrate that hip-hop heads feel about these photos the way that baby boomers feel about flicks of Mick Jagger or Aretha Franklin, and how even older folks feel about portraits of Armstrong, Ellington, and Miles Davis. |
