Flights of Genius by Stephen Powers

Tonight I will be attending the premiere of “A Love Letter” a new film from art giant and 80's hip hop hair enthusiast Stephen ESPO Powers in conjunction with Ogilvy & Mather New York and Joshua Liner Gallery. The short film is part documentary part fiction and focus’s on a large scale mural project that ESPO undertook in his home town of Philly. Along side the screening is the opening of “Flights of Genius” a series of commissioned murals on display by the celebrated artist that reinterpret the words and quotes of agency founder David Ogilvy, one of the most influential and important figures in modern advertising. Power’s bold graphic style, reminiscent of vintage advertising illustrations puts a unique emphasis on famous Ogilvy sayings and transforms them into actionable words designed to inspire the viewer.  Check out the short clip below and stay tuned for more exclusive coverage of tonight’s event later this week.
