Around the Corner: We Outside

M2 and Corner Boys Gallery presents
Around the Corner: We Outside

These artists don’t color within the lines—they draw their own.

Around the Corner: We Outside is an unapologetic celebration of creative freedom curated by Corner Boys Gallery. This show brings together six artists who aren’t just participating in culture—they’re shaping it. Their work lives at the intersection of personal truth, cultural legacy, and bold experimentation.

These artists move differently. They make art that’s unfiltered, street-rooted, and deeply intentional. Whether it’s through ceramics, finger painting, augmented reality, abstract storytelling, or tattoo-based murals—every piece is a statement of autonomy, hustle, and creative rebellion.

Hosted at the Switzer Gallery inside the Factory Artist Warehouse, the exhibition transforms the space into a raw, immersive environment. Street signs, caution tape, wire-hung sneakers, and painted floor lines invite you to step into a visual cipher—where each artist claims a corner and commands the space.

This isn’t a quiet moment.
This is presence.
This is what’s next—already here—just around the corner.

Kevin West
Painter of joy and legacy. Kevin’s vibrant, technicolor canvases celebrate Black youth and community with every stroke—capturing truth, triumph, and transformation.

Omar Rashan
Afrofuturist architect of vision. Omar fuses fine art and augmented reality, creating spiritual and tech-driven work that bends perception and opens portals to Black possibility.

Will Woodrow
The fabricator of memory. Will reimagines nostalgia through sculpture, engineering, and pop culture icons—fusing tradesman grit with gallery-level imagination.

Rob Sloan
Tattooist turned muralist. Rob’s visual language draws from street calligraphy, tattoo culture, and urban storytelling—built on ink, loyalty, and freehand conviction.
