Dr. Romanelli x Oliver Peoples: “Dr. Goodfellow” Sculpture

Posted by juggernut3, November 19, 2010

Check this figure designed by our friend Dr. Romanelli and optics retailer Oliver Peoples. Inspired by a mythical sprite known to many as “Puck”, the figure blends a mix of the vintage Victorian style with Dr. Romanelli’s fresh eye to revamp this collaboration into a modern classic. The details on the figure are pretty well thought out as we spy the miniature stethoscope, scissors, and of course the obligatory chained monocle. It comes in a very limited edition of ten – six bronze that ages into into a […]

Previews: RAE – “Unconventional Conviction” @ Brooklynite Gallery

Posted by juggernut3, November 19, 2010

Opening this Saturday at Brooklynite Gallery is “Unconventional Conviction,” the first solo show by Brooklynite’s own Rae McGrath. Stepping out from his role as the gallery’s owner and curator, RAE will now get to experience how the other half lives by exhibiting his own artwork. Rae’s work consists of pop-art mixed media pieces created from the vivid colored plastic and labels of laundry detergent bottles, as well as black and white photography of everyday people. The combination of styles exemplifies the energy and diversity of […]

Preview: Cleon Peterson – ‘Daybreak’ @ New Image Art

Posted by Patrick Nguyen, November 19, 2010

The art of Cleon Peterson has never been for the fainthearted. Like Pieter Bruegel the Elder‘s painting The Triumph of Death, his unapologetic, graphic depictions of acts of brutality are both disquieting and strangely captivating. Daybreak is the artist’s latest solo show opening this Saturday, November 20th at New Image Art Gallery. The exhibition, which draws inspiration and its title from Nietzsche’s Daybreak: Reflections on Moral Prejudices, marks Peterson’s powerful return with another morally ambiguous and beautifully composed orgy of violence. See our preview of […]

Streets: Aiko (New York)

Posted by sleepboy, November 18, 2010

It looks like Aiko recently completed a new mural in the Bronx. The wall references much of her recent imagery as well as big “Bunny” tag. If you are in NY, head over the 163rd and Park Ave and take a look for yourself. More photos after the jump…

Teaser: Travis Louie – “The Ghost of Delilah and Other Stories” @ Gallery 1988 (Melrose)

Posted by sleepboy, November 18, 2010

Coming up in early December, Travis Louie (featured) will be starting off your holiday season with a solo show at Gallery 1988 (Melrose). Notice that we say Melrose and not Los Angeles because the gallery will be opening up a second space in Venice very shortly and will be closing their branch in San Francisco. We are looking forward to seeing Travis’ new body of work and from the octopus tentacles we see peeking out, he might be bringing something a little different. Discuss this […]

Teaser: Basel Week Miami ’10 – “Urban Alchemists” @ Jonathan LeVine Gallery

Posted by lowpro, November 18, 2010

With Art Basel Miami Beach swiftly approaching more and more details are beginning to surface from galleries involved in the new contemporary and street art movements. To coincide with this years event, Jonathan LeVine Gallery will be taking over a cavernous 2,200 square-foot space in the Wynwood Walls section, which last year was a successful inaugural run at an outdoor mural space within the fair conceived of by legendary Jeffrey Deitch and which will now become a permanent fixture for street artists to showcase their […]

Showing: Josh Keyes – “Collision” @ David B. Smith Gallery

Posted by sleepboy, November 18, 2010

Unfortunately, for the vast majority of the Josh Keyes fans who don’t live in Colorado (like us), seeing the new body of work entitled “Collision” in person will not be possible (unless you bought one). However, we are lucky that there are some exhibition photos of the beautiful pieces in situ at the David B. Smith Gallery through December 11th. The ten paintings in this show were conceived and based on a complex 16th century mythology (explained in detail in our recent interview with Josh) […]

Streets: Hush – “Found” with White Walls in New York

Posted by juggernut3, November 18, 2010

Hush (interviewed) is in the Big Apple and already making his mark on the Lower East Side. In preparation for his upcoming show “Found” on Friday (Nov 19th) at the White Walls‘ pop up location of Angel Orensanz Foundation For Contemporary Art, the UK street artist is busy elevating his exposure to the streets of New York. Braving windy conditions of up to 50 mph, AM and Hush caught a (legit) wall on the corner of Stanton & Norfolk to display a live painting session of one of […]
