Clutter Gallery is a leading contemporary art gallery specializing in the vibrant world of designer toys and lowbrow art. Located in the artistic community of Beacon, New York (home to the world famous Dia museum), Clutter Gallery has established itself as a premier destination for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Since its inception in 2011, the gallery has been dedicated to showcasing the work of both established and emerging artists who push the boundaries of pop culture, street and low-brow art. In addition to its dynamic exhibitions, Clutter Gallery also houses an impressive permanent collection of Designer Toys, curated by the team behind its renowned print publication. This collection serves as a testament to the gallery’s deep-rooted connection to the designer toy movement and its commitment to preserving and celebrating this unique art form. Marshall Ballantyne aka Mr. Mars, is constantly pushing the boundaries of his own work. From spray-can ‘Bombers’ to custom toy ‘Burners’, his style has evolved to become brighter, bolder, and more collectible than ever! A mix of graffiti, hip hop, and extreme colors, his melted, dripping creations are great examples of the street meets designer toys. MR. MARS. AIRBRUSH ARTIST. DESIGNER. “ART IS NOT WHAT YOU SEE, BUT WHAT YOU MAKE OTHERS SEE.” -EDGAR DEGAS GRAFFITI STARTED MY PASSION. THE PROCESS OF CREATING, BENDING AND TWISTING LETTERS TO CALL YOUR OWN STRUCK ME FROM THE MOMENT I FIRST THEM SPRAWLED ACROSS MY HOMETOWN IN HOUSTON. OVER THE YEARS I HAVE DRIVEN MYSELF TO CREATING NEW LETTER FORMS, COLOR COMBINATIONS, AND BALANCING MY PIECE UNTIL I REALIZED THAT GRAFFITI WAS JUST THE BEGINNING TO MY LIFE OF CREATING. MY WORK IS CREATED FROM THE INSIDE OUTWARD TWISTING IT WITH POPULAR THEMES. I EMPLOY BOTH TRADITIONAL AND “NEW SCHOOL” TECHNIQUES. THE REPETITION IN MY WORK ALLOWS ME TO SHOWCASE PIECES OF MY OWN LIFE AND HISTORY ON MY PIECES, REGARDLESS OF THE THEME.
