First Friday Event at Matthew Izzo: Featuring Artist Hilary White and Trunk Show by Wrath Arcane


Philadelphia artist Hilary White will be the featured artist at Matthew Izzo for the First Friday of May from 6-10pm. She is currently collaborating with fashion label, Wrath Arcane to create graphics and jewelry. Hilary White and designer, Scott Bilovecky, from the eco-conscious clothing line will be attending the event that will display both art and a trunk show of Wrath Arcane apparel.

Hilary White graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design and describes her work as being a blend of religious Byzantine art and the modern philosophy or “art for art’s sake.” She describes her aesthetic as, “A reconciler between the graceful and the grotesque.” Her pop art religiosity makes her the perfect match for Wrath Arcane whose name literally means “secret rage” or “forgotten anger.” Wrath Arcane creates utilitarian street wear using domestic eco-conscious fabric mills. Their line is dedicated to not only bringing fashion’s production back to US soil but also to retaliate against the industry’s reliance on beauty and models to sell clothing that is damaging to the earth and the people who sew it.
