As the global art world descends upon Miami for its most anticipated week of the year, one event promises to cut through the noise with raw energy, vibrant color, and a mission that goes beyond the canvas.

Art Beast, the brainchild of the multidimensional creative known as Artlanta, is set to take over Miami Art Basel – offering an immersive experience that fuses fine art, high fashion, live music, and luxury automotive culture.

Known globally for his signature paint-splatter style on exotic luxury cars (having canvased everything from Lamborghinis to Ferraris for the likes of 6ix9ine and international collectors), Artlanta has carved a unique lane in the contemporary art scene. This year, he brings that same defiant, “create, don’t destroy” spirit to the 2025 Art Beast experience.

Unlike the traditional, often sterile gallery presentations typical of Art Basel, Art Beast is designed as a festival of expression. Attendees can expect a sensory overload in the best possible way. The centerpiece of the event is the live painting performance, where Artlanta transforms high-end vehicles into rolling masterpieces in real-time. It is a high-octane demonstration of his philosophy: that art shouldn’t just be viewed; it should be felt and lived. As he notes, the inspiration for his work comes from the vibrant, popping colors of Basquiat and the portrait mastery of Andy Warhol, influences that are palpable in his bold, uninhibited strokes. But Art Beast is more than just a solo showcase; it is a platform built to uplift others.

Motivated by his own struggles to find mentorship and support in the early days of his career, Artlanta established Art Beast as an “art label” akin to a music label— a revolutionary concept designed to sign, support, and launch emerging artists who lack brand awareness but possess undeniable talent. “The inspiration came from me not having anyone to help me out in the art game,” Artlanta explains. “So I created a whole new lane for upcoming artists to have a platform to sell their art.” This year’s event will feature a curated selection of these emerging talents alongside Artlanta, creating a community-driven atmosphere that celebrates collective success over competition.

With past events shattering expectations and selling thousands of tickets, the 2025 edition is poised to be the biggest yet.

For art collectors, thrill-seekers, and culture enthusiasts, Art Beast at Miami Art Basel is not just an event; it is a movement. It is a testament to the power of dreaming big and the belief that, in the words of ARTLANTA himself:

A true artist is not one who is inspired, but one who inspires others.
