111 Minna Gallery: ‘HOME’ Solo Exhibition by Lady Mags (opening reception)

OPENING RECEPTION: Friday, February 7th 2025

For our February exhibition, 111 Minna Gallery will be showcasing Lady Mags in both our 2nd Street and Zappa Galleries.

About LADY MAGS

Raised in New York City, Lady Mags now lives in California’s north bay with her two children. She has been a graffiti muralist and fine artist for over 20 years. She started writing “Lady Mags” over 30 years ago, and never stopped.

Lady Mags has been a graffiti writer since the early 2000s, gaining her chops in her home town of New York City. She really took off in 2006, when she started painting track sides in Chicago and then all over the world. She exhibited her first fine art pieces in 2012 when AmandaLynn invited her to be part of a group show at Cassel Gallery in SF. Lady Mags then co-founded Alynn-Mags, a two woman graffiti and street art crew. Together, Amandalynn and Lady Mags have painted all over the world, and been in magazines like Juxtapoz and Inked, featured in local news stories and in documentaries and shown in fine art galleries around the globe. Painting art in the street and large scale fine art pieces are her passion. Over the last two decades, Lady Mags has painted thousands of graffiti pieces in alleys, tunnels, trains, walls and more.

In San Francisco, Lady Mags has worked with 111 Minna Gallery, Luna Rienne Gallery and 5 Olive Gallery.

About HOME:

Lady Mags has lived and travelled all over the world. As a child, she moved a lot; and as a young mother, she has moved her children several times as well. She has had to make a HOME wherever she resided. Most recently after an immense spiritual experience, she had come to realize that HOME is within. We make our own HOME inside us- wherever we go. This show represents the heart and hearth within us all.

For ‘HOME’, Lady Mags will be collaborating with other artists of whom she has admired over the years. Artists that she feels bring a feeling of safety and HOME wherever they go. She wishes and hopes that all feel at HOME when experiencing her exhibition while viewing the pieces, hand upholstered furniture and murals that come together to make this exhibition come together at 111 Minna Gallery.

HOME brings together decades of fine art and street art into one comprehensive show. Lady Mags has designed furniture and textiles for the event, while creating a series of fine art works of various scales to coincide with her installation works.

For this exhibition, Lady Mags will be collaborating with a stellar group of local and world renowned street artists including: Apex – (@apexer), Ian Ross – (@ianrossart), Amandalynn – (@alynnpaint), Margaretta – (@gretta_g), MadC – (@mad_c1), Merlot – (@merlotism), Lady Henze – (@ladyhenze) and more.
