Openings: Mode 2 – “Reality, Fantasy, And The Web” @ Lazarides (Newcastle)

Posted by juggernut3, August 26, 2009

Who can take a stack of hard cardboard or a cold brick wall and create aÂ sensually hypnotic work of art? Mode 2 can. The artist known for his erotic urban techniques opened “Reality, Fantasy, And The Web” (previewed) at Lazarides last weekend. For a show that was created completely on location in the Newcastle gallery, it’s fascinating how Mode 2 was able to work with the gritty surroundings he was given and transform it into visually arresting and erotic snapshots. Check out all the images […]

Teaser: Kris Kuksi – “Beast Anthology” @ Joshua Liner Gallery

Posted by sleepboy, August 26, 2009

AM just saw the one of the pieces from Kris Kuksi for his upcoming solo show at Joshua Liner Gallery and wanted to share it immediately with our readers.Â This piece is entitled “The Temptation of St. Anthony,” which refers to the temptations faced by Saint Anthony the Great during his times in the Egyptian desert (a common subject in art and literature – probably the two of the most well-known, for us at least, were by Hieronymus Bosch and Salvador DalÃ). We can’t wait […]

FAME Festival: Ericailcane and Word to Mother (Part II)

Posted by Elisa Carmichael, August 26, 2009

We recently brought you news of Ericailcane (here) and Word to Mother (here) painting murals at FAME Festival (full coverage here). The artists have since stepped into the studio to create a fantastic selection of artwork. We are loving these little ceramic sculptures by Ericailcane (above). For everyone who gets excited when Erica’s anthropomorphic creatures leap into the three-dimensional, now is the time to start jumping up and down, as there look to be quite a few little monkeys running around Grottaglie. Word To Mother […]

Update/Releases: “Che” Print by Ernesto Yerena

Posted by juggernut3, August 25, 2009

Last month we brought you a exclusive peek into Ernesto Yerenaâ€™s “Che” project and hinted at a pending print release. Well, the wait is over because this awesome image has been made into a special hand pulled silkscreen print to be released tomorrow August 26th at Hecho Con Ganas. Last week Ernesto and Richard hand-pulled the freshly made prints at Modern Multiples (same print studio thatÂ printed Banksy’s LA prints)Â in preparation for the pending release. The print comes in two colorways (green & red) and is […]

Posted by sleepboy, August 25, 2009

Here are some new images of the collaboration release from Undercover with their classic “eye-censored” bear and Kaws’ companion figure.Â Sitting together, perhaps Mori Chack-style, the figure comes in white as well as black.Â Priced at about $135, look for the release on August 29th at Undercover locations across Japan and perhaps Original Fake as well. More images after the jump…

Streets: New Banksy – “Roller Zorro”

Posted by sleepboy, August 25, 2009

No official word from the Banksy camp yet, but some signs point to a new stencil from Mr. B up near the A40 (looks to be on top of the Great Western Studios building) featuring a Zorro figure holding a roller and the words “Live Fast Drive Slow” on the other side of the building. With so many fakes and copycats out there these days, one must be careful identifying alleged pieces. But, the size of the piece as well as the fact the this […]

Jeff Koons’ Diamond Lights Up Manhattan Skyline

Posted by juggernut3, August 24, 2009

What would you do if you had the money to get one of Jeff Koons’ famous “Diamond” sculptures? Where would youÂ place it to get the most out of your new found bling? On the roof of your luxury penthouse? Apparently that’s exactly what hedge-fund mogul Richard Perry did. After buyingÂ the sculptureÂ for 2.3 million dollars in 2005, he installed his flashyÂ green diamond on the roof using a crane in 2007. That’s when the complaints started coming in. The 5ft tallÂ (size of a buffalo) stainless steel metallic […]
