RISING Gallery with FGIIIART, is proud to present “Wonder Years”, a series of new works by The SourGrapes“Wonder Years” will take you through the collectives early years and the evolution of their lives as street artists turned fine artists.  The show will feature a few early works by the SourGrapes 13 collective, as well as new works by Carlos Donjuan, Ricardo Oviedo, Artura Donjuan, Miguel Donjuan, Eddie Castro, Isaias Torres, and Emily Donjuan. The intent of the show is to dive into their pasts and show the cultural aspect involved with the collective and how their early influences have affected the growth of their work.

The SourGrapes are coming off a successful graffiti installation at the Dallas Contemporary that showcased works that paid homage to fellow graffiti artists that have passed away.  Most recently they were signed by Neiman Marcus to produce the storefront windows for several of their locations.

The SourGrapes’ Dallas roots and loyalty are the soul of each of the artists. These influences are apparent in their particular styles in their graffiti work and fine art. They have developed a style that is gaining great respect throughout the graffiti and art communities. They have a respected presence throughout the region and their works are being seen more and more throughout the country.

The Sour Grapes graffiti works can be seen throughout Dallas in the numerous public works projects they have contributed to.
