Curated by Adam Abdalla in partnership with gallerist Nina Johnson, Sunset Flip is a two-person exhibition featuring professional wrestlers and artists Lee Moriarty (Ring of Honor Pure Champion) and Thekla Kaischauri (All Elite Wrestling Women’s World Champion).

On view March 19-29, the show includes ten works, among them three new tennis paintings by Moriarty created for the Miami Open. The exhibition also precedes Kaischauri’s participation in House Show: Power, Spectacle, and Pro Wrestling at the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg.

A limited-edition benefit print of Moriarty’s Pink Mink Portrait—released by NADA and Orange Crush—will be available throughout the run, with proceeds benefiting Little Oaks. 

The exhibition is presented alongside GAME TIME: Session 1—Dialogues on Art, Sports, and Headlines, a new cultural programming series Abdalla has organized with Pérez Art Museum Miami Director Franklin Sirmans and the museum’s education department.

Ahead of the opening reception, Sunset Flip will also be featured in an Art & Wrestling panel on March 20 from 11:30 AM-12:30 PM at PAMM, with Moriarty, Kaischauri, artist Shaun Leonardo, and myself discussing the intersection of professional wrestling, performance, and contemporary art.

Lee Moriarty is the cover star of the latest FLAUNT Magazine!

"What started off as a hobby quickly snowballed into a new career as an artist. In 2024, curator and independent wrestling promoter Adam Abdalla reached out and asked if Moriarty wanted to exhibit his work at NADA Miami through his publication Orange Crush. Moriarty showed eight paintings, which eventually sold out. The Pérez Art Museum Miami acquired one of them, making Moriarty the first active professional wrestler to have a work in a major museum’s permanent collection." - Elodie Saint-Louis

This marks Moriarty’s first-ever fine-art edition, arriving at a moment of significant visibility for the artist.

Looking ahead, Moriarty is positioned to be a key figure in the House Show exhibition at Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg in 2027.

All of this comes on the heels of a successful debut at NADA Miami 2024, where Orange Crush exhibited Moriarty’s work publicly for the first time.
