St. Petersburg, FL – This January, art enthusiasts and culture seekers are invited to experience Internal PainT, a dynamic solo exhibit by artist Flaitz Whatever. The event will take place on Saturday, January 4, 2025, from 7 PM to 11 PM at Coastal Creative in St. Petersburg. Admission is free with RSVP but space is limited, making this an exclusive opportunity to witness a transformative evening of contemporary art.
Known for his bright colors and unique cardboard medium, Los Angeles-based Ryan Flaitz, who creates under the name Flaitz Whatever, has developed a style that defies artistic norms. His work draws deeply from his upbringing in the small city of Hornell, New York, and his love for the fast-paced energy of big-city culture. Inspired by street art, 90s hip-hop, sneaker culture, and sports, Flaitz transforms overlooked materials like cardboard into vibrant, thought-provoking works of art that speak to his personal journey and creative philosophy.
Ryan’s path to full-time artistry was anything but traditional. In 2007, he co-founded PSD Underwear, an athletic brand recognized for its bold designs and ties to professional athletes and celebrities. His entrepreneurial success allowed him the freedom to fully embrace his passion for art. Flaitz’s signature style reflects the same daring energy that drove PSD’s rise to prominence. Each piece carries the distinct branding of “Flaitz Whatever.”
Internal PainT showcases a collection of his most captivating works, offering a window into the evolution of his artistic journey. Using freehand techniques and bright colors, Flaitz explores themes of transformation, resilience, and the beauty of individuality. His ability to elevate discarded materials into art echoes his message of finding value in what others overlook.
