Posted by sleepboy, May 12, 2010

After stellar shows in Cologne, Paris and London, street artist Roa moves on the next big city – New York. We expect some large installs in the Big Apple as the Belgium-based artist likes to go big whether inside or outside of the gallery. The show opens Friday night, May 14th at the Factory Fresh Gallery in Brooklyn but for now, take a look at the video above to get an idea of the treat you are in for. Showcard after the jump…

Teaser: Pedro Matos – “Reality Show” @ Montana Shop & Gallery

Posted by sleepboy, May 11, 2010

Portuguese artist, Pedro Matos aka DRONE, will be opening a new exhibition in June at the Montana Shop & Gallery in Lisbon. Mixing his figurative painting skills with urban sensibility, the young and self-trained artist works on capturing the “fading” and slowly “disappearing” under-privileged in our society, often placing his gritty work on the streets. Expect some paintings like the one above as well as some site-specific installs for this upcoming show. Showcard after the jump…

Celebrated street turned contemporary artist, KAWS, will be opening his first solo museum exhibition next month at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum. The show will include “his most recent paintings, sculptures, and drawings, as well as a survey of apparel, product and graphic designs, and limited-edition toys.” We can’t wait to see the whole setup, but we imagine it will be similar to what our friend Pirovino has in his collection (well, at least the 4 Foot KAWS figures).

Teaser: Yoskay Yamamoto – “Familiar Strangers” @ Lebasse Projects

Posted by sleepboy, May 8, 2010

One of the shows we are really looking forward to next month is Yoskay Yamamoto’s (featured) return to LeBasse Projects. It’s hard to believe, but his last solo there was over a year ago and now he’s back with a new body of work entitled “Familiar Strangers.” Along with some sumptuous paintings with iconic characters and the thematic use of flowers (like the piece above), you can expect that he will continue to explore his sculptural work as well. More to follow as the show […]
