Preview: “the GREAT outDOORS” @ Artbreak Gallery

Posted by Ken, May 1, 2009

The most striking, inherent fallacy of street art displayed in a gallery setting is undoubtably the loss of contextual reference for both the viewer and the artist. Just as the adrenaline rush or illegality of street art can never truly be conveyed in a screenprint, the dirt, grime and overall pith and timber of the street can never truly be conveyed on a canvas or for that matter, the internet. It is this intrinsic issue that curators Luna Park and Billikid have attempted to tackle […]

Video: SÃ£o Paulo Street Art and Pixacao Graffiti

Posted by stephen, April 29, 2009

Here at AM, we simply can’t get enough of Brazilian street and urban art. The unique style, flair, vibrancy and most importantly its underlying grittiness create the perfect mind and retina stimulating combination.

We bring you two videos to temporarily satisfy your cravings. The first video is a peek inside the Brazilian urban art scene, exploring how Choque Cultural got […]

Releases: Aiko – Original Spray Paint & Gallon Paint Cans

Posted by juggernut3, April 28, 2009

Last week when Aiko opened her dynamic show “Love Monster” (covered) at Joshua Liner Gallery, we noted a great installation created out of hand painted, stenciled and collaged spray paint and gallon paint cans.Â Since the doors opened, there have beenÂ numerousÂ inquiries and requests, butÂ these little gems were unfortunately not available for sale. Well, fans are now in luck because Aiko and the gallery have decided to make theseÂ hand created originals available. The price on these gems is a steal: the spray paint cans are $120 and […]

Souther Salazar – “Above the Influence” Video – Family Guy Parody

Posted by sleepboy, April 21, 2009

Remember the “Above the Influence” anti-drug ad (seen below) done by artist Souther Salazar a while back. Well, after many amateur parodies done by netizens (some NSFW), popular TV show Family Guy has stepped in with their own version a couple days ago (seen above at the 7:31 mark). An obvious statement, but as the art of our generation gets more mainstream and advertisers realize the power of being in touch with our demographic, we will see more and more references (ie: parody of Shepard […]
