Mixed media artist Ben Moon and the renowned artist William
Quigley, known as “The Pleasurists,” have joined forces and are collaborating
to bring the Hamptons their second annual soiree, "Mash - Up
Society," taking place in the midst of ArtHamptons weekend. The opening
night party will take place on Friday July 11th at Quigley’s studio on
Schenck’s Alley, Skrapper Studios. This exhibit will be a beautiful composition
of sights and sounds, and will showcase the art of William Quigley and Ben
Moon. The exhibit will showcase Moon's new
work in his BEFORE/AFTER painting series, as well as his mystical musical
visual wonderland, “ROKLYFE” featuring performances by DJ Monikkr, and
RockStarlet Bella Saona, “Bella and The Beast”, who Quigley found through his
collaborations working with the band Dispatch. Additionally, the work of local
fledgling painter Alex George McCue will be debuted at the exhibit.
From July 11th through July 19th, a portion of sales from
SkrapperStyle Tshirts, Ben Moon merchandise, Quigley prints and Casamigos
Cocktails will be donated to Soldier Ride, a Wounded Warriors event in
Amagansett on July 19th which aims to use cycling and the bonds of service to
overcome physical, mental, or emotional wounds. Moon has also been selected to
paint the exterior of a 1985 Rolls Royce "Silver Spur" with his
signature black and white designs, which will debut at the opening night party.
The car, owned by New York Collector Frank Marzano, has been prepped with a
special temporary paint known as "plastic dip." This car will be
auctioned at the end of the summer, with 100% of proceeds going to the Wounded
Warriors charity.
