Laura Rathe Fine Art presents "PunkMeTender," the first solo exhibition in Houston by internationally acclaimed artist PunkMeTender. The artist will be in attendance.

PunkMeTender is a Parisian street artist that came to Los Angeles to follow the American Dream. Growing up in France, he knew early on that he has to chase this passion and see where this path will lead. Right now, PunkMeTender is living the said dream in his studio at the heart of Hollywood.

Beauty, spirit and transformation are the major themes that come up in PunkMeTender’s art. His creations are fully instinctual, there is no specific rule that the artist follows while working on his pieces. PunkMeTender’s legendary butterflies have become the artist’s hallmark and inspiration to many. Embodying freedom, beauty, and transformation the butterflies impact everyone providing a full sensorial experience to the viewer. Spin art is one of the techniques the artist uses to create his masterpieces, he says that this process is as transformative as the caterpillar turning to a butterfly. PunkMeTender is also known for his original photography, bold and bright colors and high-gloss embellishments like glittery Swarovski crystals, diamond dust and glossy acrylic coatings that take his work that extra mile.

His work is exhibited in over 30 high-end galleries around the world and is sought after by international collectors and luxury hotel brands like Miami South Beach, SLS, Nobu and others. Pumkmetender often works with famous clients on their personal projects. To name a few - Khloé Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Kylie Jenner, Mariah Carey, and Dave Navarro.

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display until November 13.
