Underground techno music inspired “Locked groove” paintings will be on display in Van Der Plas Gallery, New York, with a purpose to break cultural stereotypes.

Hungarian contemporary artist Hevesi Daniel Marcel will feature two of his “Locked groove” paintings in a Adriaan Van Der Plas’ Lower East Side Manhattan gallery from 17th to 23rd April, 2017. Through his artworks, Daniel wants to break cultural patterns and bring contemporary fine art and underground electronic music respecting people together.

According to the artist, arts can be one of the most effective medium to build bridges between fine arts and electronic music. “Underground techno music is most expressive genre among contemporary electronic music styles. Built on strong tribal roots, this genre has the ability to entertain the audience on many different levels, once understood. Close-minded, biased people tend to have negative associations with this form of music and art style, but once the details of its complexity and message is learned, previously formed stereotypes can be broken” Daniel says.

The name of the “Locked grooves” series is coming from vinyl records, which has few second-long endless loop pressed onto them. Daniel says “These artworks capture the best parts of underground techno tracks and translates them to visual format”.
