“‘I’m delighted Dr. Mulye and I came together in this. His pride for his adopted country encouraged me to create something dramatic, passionate in color and impactful in content. Art is a universal language with not just one opinion or one meaning. I hope my art inspires ppl to think … Act …and Vote”

Next stop is LA for the Divided State of America Tour it will be featured at the Broadway International Film Festival . Divided State Of America comes to Los Angeles beginning next Thursday, September 20 – Sunday, September 23, as part of The Broadway International Film Festival at the historic Los Angeles and Palace Theaters in Downtown LA! Be a part of the experience! See the art up close and personal, catch a new film, mingle with fellow Angelenos, Celebs, and VIPS! Meet the artist, Chor Boogie, in person! Or just belly up to the bar at The Los Angeles Brewing Company right down the street and sample any of their 100 beers while watching large screen videos of the artist in action as he creates this dynamic new exhibit that critics and the public have described as “groundbreaking”, “powerful”, “disturbing”, “provocative”, “impactful”, “inspiring”, and “controversial”!

“The Divided State of America” National Art Exhibition To Launch During Democratic National Convention

Featuring symposium to highlight solutions for an ideologically fractured America

PR Newswire

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — “The Divided State of America,” an innovative political art series, will make its national debut in a symposium for attendees of the Democratic National Convention at 12:00 PM ET onSeptember 6, 2012, at Gallery X (aka Elder Gallery) in Charlotte, NC. The session will feature a roundtable discussion with prominent thinkers about the themes of the exhibition, asking them fundamental questions about why America is currently polarized and how to solve the crisis before the election.

The “Divided State of America” is a larger-than-life collection spray painted by world-renown artist Chor Boogie and commissioned by pharmaceutical and biotechnology entrepreneur Nirmal Mulye. The paintings depict universal issues that have affected Mulye’s life and the lives of many other Americans – policies affecting immigration, energy, the economy, class, and religion – to stimulate discussion and political discourse.

The exhibition will be on show throughout the convention in the lounge of Gallery X, hosted by entrepreneur coalition StartUp RockOn, and later in a series of public events throughout the country in the run-up to the Presidential Election in November.
