ABOUT BREAKING RAD
Kyle Confehr primarily creates ink on paper drawings focusing on the absurdity of brand allegiance, irony, consumerism, social media, the notion of an “in” crowd and many other facets of modern culture.
Breaking Rad will feature new and recent works on paper as well as a collaborative site specific painting installtion with Favio Moreno of The Bodega Negra. This is the artist’s first solo exhibition with The Public Trust.
ABOUT KYLE CONFEHR
Influenced by artists such as Jim Stoten, Geoff McFetridge, Chad Vangaalen, Andy Goldsworthy and Edward Gorey, Confehr’s quick-witted delivery is satirical in nature and outsider in its perspective. Further influences include Legos, Where’s Waldo, Batman, rednecks, Ren and Stimpy, old Trapper Keepers, unicorns, laser beams, Pokemon and awkward conversations with his best friend Pete. On a personal note Kyle loves pizza, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, Sharpie’s, his dog Oswald and most of all his wife Meaghan. Kyle hates bad people, boy bands, country music and working out.

Minus WON

On 10-15-2011, our good friend Alvaro "Minus WON" Angeles passed away. We were very sadden by the heart breaking news. Minus was one of the original members of The Infinity Crew (IC), which is Dallas first graffiti crew. He was a huge inspiration to the Sour Grapes and we were extremely honored to have earned his respect. The amount of support that he showed us was very inspirational to keep us active as a crew. Minus was one of the guys that we looked up to because he was a true pioneer to the Dallas graffiti scene. His letter styles were very unique and original and they developed throughout his years as a writer. He was a true artist and his passion radiated so much that you could sense it in the aura that he had. We have the most highest amount of respect for Minus and we plan on keeping his legacy alive. Without all of his contributions to the Dallas art scene, a lot of artist would not exist today.

The day following his passing, a big group of writers got together to paint a wall in his memory. It was great to see everyone coming together in remembrance of our fallen brother. We will always remember him and we will keep his name alive. May he Rest In Paradise.
