For three days in November, you can walk into a room on Scotts Road, stand in front of paintings that hang in the homes of Will Smith and Robert Downey Jr. (RDJ, as the internet knows him), and watch a Lamborghini become a canvas, all without spending a cent. From 19 to 21 November 2026, American painter Danny Minnick takes over 67 on Scotts at Shaw Centre with 21 new works and a Lamborghini Temerario that he’ll paint live. Entry to Six is Before Seven is free, but every slot is ticketed through Eventbrite, so the only cost is remembering to book.
This is his second Singapore show. His 2023 debut sold out entirely, and the organisers call this one his most significant showing in Asia so far.
At a Glance: What to Book and When
- What runs out: There are only three public days, and each hour is capped by ticketed slots.
- Best window: Minnick meets guests from 2pm to 4pm each day. Book then if you want a handshake. Book earlier if you want a quiet look at the canvases.
- Getting there: Orchard is the nearest Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station.
- Buying, not just looking: Works are indicatively priced from S$25,000 to S$190,000, and serious buyers can reserve ahead of opening through Art Vault Asia.
From Blown Achilles to Barbican
Minnick’s route to the gallery wall ran through a lot of concrete. He was born in Seattle in 1973 and spent two decades as a professional skateboarder, riding for sponsors like Vans, Spitfire Wheels and H-Street. Along the way he worked as an on-camera stunt double for Shaun White, and he shot, directed and self-distributed five feature-length skate films on the side. Then, in 2010, a ruptured Achilles tendon ended his skating career and parked him on a couch for two long years of recovery.
In 2011, his close friend Chad Muska, an artist and pro skater himself, taught him to stretch and build his own canvases. His debut solo exhibition, 17 Pieces, opened at Rico Adair Gallery in Los Angeles (LA) that same year. That is a remarkably fast turnaround for someone who had only just started holding a brush instead of a board. “Don’t call it a comeback. Call it a resurrection,” as Minnick puts it.
His signature figure, ‘Character’, showed up almost straight away. It’s a skeletal human with a plus sign on its torso, painted in bold, instinctive strokes, and Minnick means it as a symbol of hope and resilience. In 2017 he painted it beneath London’s Barbican Centre as a response to Banksy’s homage to Jean-Michel Basquiat, and the Barbican kept it on the wall with the City of London’s approval. His work also hangs at Banksy’s Walled Off Hotel in Bethlehem, and he’s represented by Carpenters Workshop Gallery across LA, London, Paris and New York.
The show’s title comes out of that long, winding road. “Six is before seven. Always has been. You can’t skip it, can’t rush it, can’t get to the good part without doing the part before it,” Minnick explains. He adds that between the kids yelling “six seven” at each other and hosts who happen to be called 67, “the show named itself.” The result is a title that works as a life philosophy and a playground meme at the same time.
The Collectors, and a Wall for the Avengers Directors
According to the organisers, Minnick’s collectors include RDJ, Will Smith, LeBron James, Lionel Richie, Jessica Alba, Jason Momoa, Cindy Crawford, Fred Durst, Beck and film director Gus Van Sant. That list spans film, basketball, soul, pop and nu-metal, which shows how easily his cartoonish, big-hearted figures fit into very different living rooms.
Hollywood’s interest goes beyond living room walls. In late 2024 Minnick completed a full-wall commission for AGBO Studios, the company founded by the Russo Brothers, who directed the Marvel Avengers films.
A Temerario Becomes the Canvas
Lamborghini Singapore is the exhibition’s Official Automotive Sponsor, and it’s bringing a Temerario to 67 on Scotts to serve as the canvas for a live painting installation. Singapore has seen this before. His 2023 debut, 18 Workz, opened with a 30-minute live performance on a Lamborghini Urus S at One Holland Village. “Having witnessed Danny’s distinctive artistic vision on the Urus S in 2023, we are excited to reunite for this next chapter,” says Andy Goh, Deputy CEO of Lamborghini Singapore.
The timing makes the trip more of a detour than it looks. On 25 August 2026, Wynwood Walls, the Miami street art museum, named Minnick the first artist in residence in its history. His LA studio is being rebuilt on the museum campus from 1 November 2026 to 31 January 2027, which means he’s flying out to Singapore in the middle of that residency. He also regularly builds pieces of his own studio floor into finished canvases, so painting on a supercar’s bodywork is less of a stretch for him than it sounds.
21 Works, Five Worth Chasing
If your slot is short, head for these first:
| Work | Size | Price | Why stop |
|---|---|---|---|
| I Don’t Have a Gun | 226 × 376 cm | S$190,000 | The giant of the room, and a canvas that big is best seen in person rather than on a phone screen |
| Six is before 7 | 162 × 162 cm | S$65,000 | The title work, and the painting the show’s whole philosophy hangs on |
| Top of the Mountain Has the Best Signal | 162 × 162 cm | S$65,000 | A title you’ll probably remember on the walk home |
| Brilliant Minds Think Alike | 102 × 102 cm | S$25,000 | The smallest entry point |
| 3 D 4 Two | 122 × 122 cm | S$34,000 | The other smaller entry point |
Serious buyers can reserve works ahead of opening through Art Vault Asia, the Singapore art advisory that represents Minnick in Asia Pacific. Its partner, Robbie Hoyes-Cock, argues that “the auction market has not caught up” with the artist’s recent run.
Booking Your Free Slot
The organisers list opening hours of 9am to 4pm daily across the three public days. Minnick will meet guests from 2pm to 4pm each day, so aim for that window if meeting him matters more to you than having the canvases to yourself. Admission comes in one-hour slots that must be booked in advance, and Orchard is the nearest MRT station.
The room has more than paintings. Infiniti Jewels has a gemstone display on the mezzanine, and Campari Singapore is pouring Champagne Lallier alongside a Glen Grant cocktail programme. If Scotts Road already feels familiar as an art stop, that’s because a Banksy exhibition landed at 25 Scotts Road not long ago, which made our list of must-see exhibitions to start 2025.

🔗 Details: Book on Eventbrite
Most of us will never own a Minnick, but this is three days of free access to a painter whose work sits in Hollywood homes, under the Barbican and inside Banksy’s hotel. With only three public days and ticketed hourly slots, the smart move is to grab yours on Eventbrite now and aim for the 2pm to 4pm window, when you might catch Minnick himself somewhere between a canvas and a Lamborghini!
