The One Man Army

A solo show by Flying Fortress

 

 

Sound the alarms!  Teddy Troopers are invading our shores!  They are storming the beaches and parachuting down from the sky, driven by their insatiable appetite for world domination.  Wearing oversized helmets for protection, these restless little bears are descending upon the streets of NYC and will stop at nothing until their goal is accomplished.  Is there anyone who can save us from this occupying force?  Luckily, mankind has a champion who can turn the tide and bring us salvation through his astute knowledge of the Teddy Trooper.  Mighty Tanaka is pleased to bring you The One Man Army, featuring the explosive artwork of Flying Fortress.  Armed only with a paintbrush and spray can, he is this nations best line of defense.

 

The One Man Army heralds the arrival of Flying Fortress, in his first solo show in New York City.  He has been consistently progressing his art form in both galleries and city streets throughout the world, building a strong international following in the process.  Based in Hamburg, Germany, this Street Art legend has been active for well over a decade and his unique “Teddy Trooper” iconography can be seen on nearly every continent.

 

Through a variety of interpretations, Flying Fortress provides fun and exciting artwork that anyone can enjoy.  He will be showing both original artwork as well as limited run prints.  The One Man Army has something for everybody.
