Today we’d like to introduce you to Mitchell Schorr. Them and their team share their story with us below:
Mitchell Schorr, perhaps the best-known urban mural painter in the world, currently has an art truck, that drives across the country delivering art, inside of his art, he is seen on the roads threw out Utah making deliveries throughout Utah. Mitchell recently had art on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Mezzanine Gallery (part of 2019 Play it Loud exhibition), in addition to the renowned Galerie Mourlot in New York These exhibitions follow recent exhibits in Hong Kong, Paris, Rome, London and Art Basel in Miami. New York foodies can also view Schorr’s art on the walls of David Burke’s restaurants.
Schorr’s Da Race mural series have been displayed at more than 100 locations worldwide — and throughout NYC and Detroit — inspiring the painting, Ice Cream Truck, currently on view and part of the permanent collection at the Detroit Institute of Arts. In 2017, Schorr painted Da Race to NYC live at Rockefeller Center for Ferrari’s 70th anniversary after creating the Da Race to the East live in Hong Kong’s Lan Kwai Fong in 2015. Schorr has also muraled Da Race in Grand Rapids and Vermont after commissions by GM and the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy to paint Da Race on the Riverfront and GM’s Headquarters at the Renaissance Center.
Schorr has painted 3-D murals in and around many of New York’s parks for more than two decades. His murals have been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Huffington Post, The Miami Herald, ArtNews, Details, MSNBC, WCBS, UPN 9, MSG Network on NY1’s New Yorker of the Week, Fox 5’s Good Day New York and in the movie New York, I Love You, starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Christie.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The smooth road is a great question, specifically talking about my Race mural series called Da Race. I wouldn’t say it’s been smooth, making street art is never easy.
But I know it makes people happy when they view the work that keeps me going.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
So I am known for Da Race, which I have painted worldwide. Now it travels America as a truck, and it’s also conceptual artwork as my artwork carries other artwork, some of it very famous, as the truck is a fine arts moving company.
Da Race has been painted in Rockefeller Center and in the Hong Kong LKF area which is like their times square besides my street art, my paintings of ice cream trucks are part of the Permanent collection at the Detroit Institute of Arts, and I have had my drawings of rock and roll where shown at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s NYC as part of play it loud exhibition.
