ARTS EVENTS: Kevin Lyons is Armed and Dangerous
More than a mere hair salon, American Mortals utilizes its space as a constantly evolving tribute to local art and design, changing their décor as often as you change your hairstyle. Their next transition revolves around Armed and Dangerous, an evening of libations and Lyons. Kevin Lyons, that is.
ARTS EVENTS: Kevin Lyons is Armed and Dangerous
More than a mere hair salon, American Mortals utilizes its space as a constantly evolving tribute to local art and design, changing their décor as often as you change your hairstyle. Their next transition revolves around Armed and Dangerous, an evening of libations and Lyons. Kevin Lyons, that is. The local artist — famous for his balloon-shaped creations that recall Roger Hargreaves’ “Little Miss” characters — has doodled all over American Mortals’ neatly wallpapered walls. And for fun, he incorporated classic hairstyles into the work, so expect the wall art to humorously teeter the line of unexpected and fitting.
Lyons, who has been a creative force behind Urban Outfitters for seven years and, in 2001, was named one of the “Top Forty Designers Under Thirty” by ID Magazine, will also bring copies of his new art book, Miles Runs the Voodoo Down.
Other activities on the menu/agenda? Drinks served by Art in the Age, hot chocolate chip cookies from Cookie Confidential and Julian from Pink Skull will spin a live DJ set to keep things peppy. Rock a fierce hairdo.
Fri, Oct. 28, 6-9 p.m., free, American Mortals, 729 Walnut St., 215-574-1234, americanmortals.com.
