Streets: Jeremy Fish & Sam Flores in Guadalajara

Posted by sleepboy, July 29, 2010

After Jeremy Fish (featured) finished up with his show at Fifty24PDX (covered), he traveled to Gudalajara, Mexico to give a talk and run a workshop with Sam Flores (interviewed).

Posted by juggernut3, July 29, 2010

The cool thing about the “Annual Summer Invitational” at Jonathan LeVine Gallery is that we get to see some fresh faces that haven’t had an opportunity to grace the gallery walls before.

Artists such as Nicoletta Ceccoli (interviewed), Tran Nguyen, Alex McLeod, Andrew Hem (interviewed), Becca Midwood, Evol, Judith Supine, Lola (featured), Morgan Slade, Marco Mazzoni, Nate Frizzell (featured), Oliver Warden and Oscar de las Flores […]

Streets: Blu in Berlin

Posted by sleepboy, July 29, 2010

Blu, whose stunning mural in Warsaw we recently pointed out, apparently was also in Berlin. The Italian street artist, who likes to work in large scale, put up a more simple piece, but no less poignant. With what looks like a representation of the Berlin Wall coming down, there also appears to be a wall of Euro’s that replaces it or is also about to fall, depending how you look at it. Is he referring to the unity of Europe (represented by the Euro) that […]

Streets: Blu Hits Warsaw

Posted by sleepboy, July 28, 2010

Wow! It looks likes Blu is continuing to go big with his murals. This time the Italian hits up Warsaw with this “war” mural (no pun intended) but also digs a little behind the real motivations of why it happens – look at the puppet strings and the badges with the dollar signs. Next up for Blu will be Nuart 2010 (The Landmark Series) with other participants including Vhils, ROA, Dolk, Ericailcane, Evol, Alexandros Vasmoulakis, Sten & Lex, M-City, and Dotmasters. More detailed shots of […]

This Saturday, July 31, Merry Karnowsky Gallery will be hosting a new show, “Vivid Fiction,” a joint venture between artists Junko Mizuno, Aiko, and Samuel Lowder aka FrePrs. Although it seems to be a somewhat discordant grouping, each artist has something to offer to those that attend. Aiko Nakagawa, formerly part of the Faile (featured), continues to develop her own imagery and style, showing a feminine touch that has been missing from the Brooklyn collective since she left. Junko Mizuno will be bringing her unique […]
