Posted by sleepboy, May 9, 2013

The last time we met up with Martin Wittfooth (interviewed), it was during a group show in New York (covered) and a solo show in Los Angeles (covered). Since then, the Brooklyn-based painter has taken time to work on some commissions he has lined up for the rest of the year including this massive piece that we just have to share with you. In this in-progress shot, you can see a powerful leopard stretched above a view of TriBeCa, the Hudson River, and Jersey. Look for [...]

Posted by sleepboy, May 9, 2013

If you remember from earlier this year, Belgium-based artist ROA put on a homecoming show in Brussels at Bodson-Emelinckx Gallery entitled Stop Over. Although we covered the exhibition extensively, photos sometimes don’t do justice to the interactive nature of his works. This latest video that Colin M. Day put together follows the street muralist as he hunted in the city for found materials and also includes footage of the opening as patrons and collectors played with the panels and moveable parts to ROA’s pieces. As a bonus, also check [...]
