The two-day collaborative exhibition will kick-off with an exclusive VIP launch party at a private bungalow at the W South Beach on December 1. The bungalows will undergo a dramatic high-impact exterior takeover, where Theodore has created a custom 25 feet high and 33 feet wide mural wall that sweeps across the exterior, starring diverse global icons throughout history, such as Freddie Mercury, Prince, Jimmy Hendrix and Josephine Baker, on view through Sunday, December 5. Additionally, the event will showcase a curation of Theodore’s new work that reimagines Shutterstock Editorial’s premium photography, transformed through the creative vision of his trademark artistic style.

During the event, the multidisciplinary artist will encourage guests to participate in a live studio art project in real-time, where together, they will paint over iconic visuals of Whitney Houston, Andy Warhol, Marilyn Monroe, and Albert Einstein.

While sipping cocktails poolside, guests can immerse themselves in the lawn exhibition decorated with Theodore’s six feet tall sculptures, or be photographed in the portrait studio hosted by Shutterstock photographer Andrew Walker. Inside the bungalow, guests can experience the exclusive gallery of Theodore’s diverse art. Theodore will also perform a DJ set alongside DJette Kiwii, as he prepares for the launch of his upcoming album with Michael Moog.
