Shark Toof – “Nature Will Always Win”

LA artist, Shark Toof has been on his grizzly for a minute now, throwing up his renditions of the Great White shark (the illest predator on Earth) via wheat paste and other messy mediums around town. This past weekend, Toof had his first major solo exhibition in the sprawling Culver City art district at LeBasse Projects Gallery.

Not knowing what to expect, I assumed there would be a gang of wheat posters glued to the walls, which wasn’t the case (although that might’ve been dope). Instead, Toof broke out with some pretty interesting works on nice panels of wood. Dude’s definitely on some getting in touch with his inner-beast as all of his paintings depicted bugged out amalgamations of humans and animals. It will be interesting to see his technique and subject matter progress in the future. Next time I’d like to be served a full can of Tecate though. Just a little in a cup isn’t very beastly!
