Rhythm & Color: A Live Painting Performance with David Garibaldi
Tuesday, 06 Apr 2010 at 9:00 pm – Great Hall, Memorial Union
David Garibaldi is a performance artist who creates six-foot portraits of pop icons in minutes, working live, on stage to music. As a young man, Garibaldi walked away from a life of graffiti on the streets and turned his influences of hip-hop culture in a positive direction. He began to paint live at urban jazz sessions, nightclubs, and hip-hop events for the direct influence of the music. As he works, Garibaldi shares with his audience the personal struggles and life experiences that helped shape him into a painter and performer in the studio and on the stage. His success has led to a tour with the Blue Man Group; a collaboration with the clothing line Goodie Two Sleeves; and work with Fortune 500 companies, charities, and celebrities like Carlos Santana.View clips from Garabaldi's live shows at www.garibaldiarts.com.
