Devil's Disciple

Neckface will turn Miami inside out for his premiere solo exhibition in the Magic City as he deconstructs all 10,000 square feet of OHWOW and builds a world like no other. Featuring a haunted house installation complete with Neckface's iconic imagery, Devil’s Disciple is guaranteed to frighten viewers as they enter the exhibition. The crux of the exhibition though will surely be Neckface's new work. A deviation from the norm, it is chock-full of his signature imagery interweaved with a personal dimension that is much more palpable in the paintings. After so many years of crafting a persona and building up walls around himself and his moniker, the reclusive Neckface has finally cracked open the door ever so slightly and let us into his world.

Weaving pop culture references into the visual storytelling, the artist's paintings have grown more complex and more intricate. This newer imagery is balanced by considered application of wit throughout the work in the signature Neckface hand style. In addition to the paintings, a series of metal mask sculptures will be on display. Reminiscent of African Woyo masks, Neckface reworks creates sculptures with sharp edges and creates an object that is distinctly contemporary and unmistakably his.
