Adam Limbert's above picture art piece most certainly is meant to reference Snake Plissken's initial outing in
Escape from New York, but it might be more apropos as a reference to the poorly received sequel,
Escape from L.A.… since, as we
previously announced, the sixth installment of
Gallery1988's "Crazy 4 Cult" art exhibit will take place in New York City instead of the venues typical California locations.
The art series focuses on works inspired by iconic cult films, like the
Back to the Future print by
Jayson Weidel (above left),
The Professional interpretation by
Veronica Fish (above right), and Fred Harper's painting of
Fight Club (bottom left). Of course, the pieces don't have to reference a single movie, as
Jason Edmiston's painting (bottom right) — which is also used for all the advertising art — clearly shows; everything from
The Warriors to
Robocop,
King Kong to
Aliens,
They Live to
Akira,
Ghostbusters to
Star Wars,
Blade Runner to
Back to the Future, are fair game in his single piece.
"Crazy 4 Cult: New York" opens on Thursday, August 9th from 6-9PM and runs through September 1st at the
Gallery1988 NY Pop-Up Store, 64 Gansevoort St., New York, NY 10014.
