ABOUT THE EVENT

This weekend, Sneaker Con will take over the Guangzhou Station in China for its second festival of the year. The perennial, streetwear-centric fair has invited LA-based artist Steven Harrington to spearhead the artistic design of the fair including the hosting venue’s interiors, installations, and exclusive brand collaborations.

For the installment, Harrington will purvey co-branded apparel and merchandise with Sneaker Con alongside a BABY MILO collaboration comprised of a 300-piece joint capsule that will be made available only for attendees. The artist joins a number of participants that will “create multiple entertainment scenes, presenting a unique sneaker show and community platform,” as per the organizers in a statement.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Cited as the leader of a contemporary Californian psychedelic-pop aesthetic, Los Angeles–based artist and designer Steven Harrington is best known for his bright, iconic style that encourages a two-way conversation between the artist and viewer. There’s a timeless quality to his playful yet contemplative work, which is inspired by California’s mystique, vastly diverse landscape, and thriving mix of cultures. Embracing a multimedia approach, Harrington’s portfolio includes large-scale installations made of plaster and stone, handscreened prints, limited-edition books, skateboards, and sculptures. Alongside his commercial work, Harrington has exhibited artwork in Los Angeles, New York, Paris, Berlin, Milan, Barcelona, Tokyo, San Francisco, Chicago, Philadelphia, Montreal, Melbourne, and Dallas.
