LOS ANGELES—Kira Lee, aka adult star Dani Daniels, is returning to 212 Arts in New York for her new exhibit titled "Cartoons and Characters - A Small Canvas Show."
The show will highlight 50 small paintings of famous cartoons and characters all done in Lee's signature typographic pointillism style. The show's opening event will be from 6 to 9 p.m. on June 22. It will run for a month at 212 Arts located at 240 E. 4th Street, NYC.
"212 Arts will always hold a special place in my heart, it was my very first gallery show in NYC," Lee said. "I am looking forward to this show. This has been a fun show to create and I can't wait to show the work."
The paintings are all 12" x 12" and are priced at $550 per piece. The cartoons are all created with some of the characters' most famous lines and feature images from Archer, Adventure Time, Looney Tunes, Futurama, Rick and Morty, Jessica Rabbit and many others.
"We had a very successful first show with Kira and couldn't wait to have her show again at our gallery," said Marc Leader, owner and curator of 212 Arts. "Her unique typographic pointillism style is a must see and ever more of a must own."
Lee did her first show last year in NYC and has since shown at Art Basel, Smile Design Gallery and ACA Gallery to great success. She has created a new form of pointillism using lyrics and words to form the portraits of iconic people, characters and scenes.
Lee loved the idea of creating iconography with using connected typography. Using theories to outline horn-rimmed glasses. Song lyrics twisted and turned into locks of hair. Heart-aching poems carved into crow’s feet. Culture-defining philosophies stitched into a silk robe.
"I wanted to do a fun show that is at affordable pricing for fans of my art," Lee said. "I am really happy with the results. The pieces are fun and give a nice introduction to typographic pointillism. I can't wait to show off my newest work!"
