About The Show
In his first Midwest solo exhibition, Patrick Martinez examines a contemporary crisis: the dwindling quality of life due to the consumerist and nutritional choices of mainstream America. Buy Now Cry Later poses as a metaphor for the overall consumption and insatiable need for “more” in the modern world. We are stressed and medicated, balancing our fears over job security, guns, cost of living, violence, diet, money, race relations, education and health. All of these issues weigh the same when it comes to societal problems in dire need of solving; all are symbols that point to a troubled collective culture–a melting pot identity in crisis.

Following up the successful collaboration with Estevan Oriol, Big Chris’ Car Parts follows up with the heavy hitting holiday collab with contemporary visual artist Patrick Martinez. Taking cues from store front neon signage and a Nas rap quote, Martinez delivers a strong piece compounding the two. The Martinez collaboration tee is limited to 60 pieces. The next collaboration BIGCCP taps contemporary artist DZINE for a limited edition tee which will be out after the new year. Also be on the look out for a special tee drop between BIGCCP and Stalley’s Blue Collar Gang.
