Posted by sven, June 26, 2010

UK artist duo and graffiti crew Best|Ever are set to bring a sampling of new work to a pop-up show in London next week entitled “The Delicacy of Passion”. Best|Ever bring a classy take on street art with their unique anatomically themed subject matter and exquisite can control resulting in some of the best looking photo-realism achieved with a spray can we’ve seen. The canvas works this duo will present bring their compositions into a smaller, indoor scale. The focus on the darker side of […]

Posted by sven, June 26, 2010

Dan Baldwin (interviewed) is currently putting the finishing touches to a new body of work set to be shown next month at Signal Gallery in London. “A New Life” opens on Thursday, July 1st and looks to reflect upon recent changes in the UK artist’s personal circumstances, such as a change of location and also the great tamer that is fatherhood.

Preview / Setup: “Not Quite Open for Business” @ The Hole

Posted by juggernut3, June 26, 2010

A few weeks ago, we updated you on the creation of “The Hole” gallery by two former directors of Deitch Projects (Kathy Grayson & Meghan Coleman) and that they were planning some sort of group exhibition with at least nine artists. A pretty ambitious plan for a gallery put together in the past two months to fill “the hole” left by Jeffrey Deitch right? Well, great projects tend to snowball and now this show now has over 20 key artists and the opening is in less […]

Preview: KAWS @ Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum

Posted by lowpro, June 25, 2010

Here’s a quick sampling of what fans of Brooklyn-based contemporary artist, KAWS, will have in store for themselves tomorrow night during the opening of his first museum exhibition at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum. Bringing his own brand of street inspired pop art to such an elevated stage is no doubt a crowning achievement for an artist who initially made his way bombing billboards and beautifying phonebooths and bus-stops in and around NYC. With more attention deservedly being paid to the artist as a result […]

Teaser / Installation: Matt Haber “The Little Voyageurs” @ The Bldg.

Posted by sven, June 25, 2010

Brooklyn based artist Matt Haber opens a brand new solo show this week at The Bldg in Covington, Kentucky. We’ve followed Matt’s work for a number of years with his regular showings at Jonathan Levine in New York. However, this is his first showing in the Bluegrass state, and the latest in an exciting line of new contemporary exhibitions The Bldg have been bringing over the last year, following the UK’s Prefab77 and everyone’s favorite monochrome dynamic duo, The London Police. Haber’s folk art inspired […]

Streets / Video: Twist, Amaze, Resq, Stefan, Deej, CBT Crew in San Diego

Posted by sleepboy, June 24, 2010

So, that epic wall chock full of handstyles that we posted up last night was actually from San Diego where Barry McGee and the rest of the crew (Amaze, Resq, Stefan, Deej) were in town to prep for the big “Viva La Revolucion” exhibition opening next month at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego. If you want to check some of this work out, you’d better hurry as apparently the San Diego residents aren’t as into art as some towns and have been raising […]

Posted by sven, June 23, 2010

It’s hard to keep up with events surrounding Remi/Rough, but we try! Between his solo projects, collaborations and his work with Agents of Change, Remi is certainly not one to sit still for long. Last weekend, Remi and Jaybo (aka Monk) opened their two person show in Spain at Galeria Nuble directly after their collaborative live painting event in London with Juice 126. “No Beginning, No End” collects a series of works on canvas and board from the artists, plus some especially sweet looking work […]

Check out the latest from Natalia Fabia (interviewed) as she gets ready to show at Corey Helford. The new body of work, “Fashionable Aftertaste Without End,” moves to a new focus into the magical world of “Kawaii” (cute in Japanese). You’ll see her subjects as a mix of Japanese & Western pop culture flourishing in fashion forward designs. Often using familiar subjects, Natalia is known for sliding in friends in her paintings. Check out the painting above, do you see Mari Inukai? Definitely a departure from her “hooker” […]
