Streets: ROA (Los Angeles) Part II

Posted by sleepboy, December 4, 2010

Unurth recently published a couple new street pieces (with a third huge piece yet to be revealed) from ROA while he was in Los Angeles for his pop up show (covered). We’re sure you can guess that something anatomical is inside this box by the LA River, but take a look at the full reveal after the jump. Also, another piece following the life cycle of mice can be seen outside the gallery space where he showed. And, in case your wondering, wanderlust has hit […]

Streets / Basel Week Miami ’10: Jeff Soto

Posted by sleepboy, December 2, 2010

Our friend Jeff Soto’s (featured) just sent over photos of some of his escapades in Miami with his old graffiti partner Maxx242. In town for Art Basel Week (he is painting a mural for Wynwood Walls and is listed for Primary Flight), you can be sure the Sotofish sure knows how to have a good time (see last year). Stay away from the alligators this time! More photos after the jump…

Streets / Basel Week Miami ’10: Gaia

Posted by sleepboy, December 1, 2010

It looks like Mr. Gaia is getting things started down in Miami with this piece on 14th Street. The hybrid owl-human-rabbit looks similar to a piece he did for All City Block Party recently and has been layered on top of some Dick Chicken and Shark Toof (you can see this better after the jump…)

Streets / Basel Week Miami ’10: Shepard Fairey

Posted by sleepboy, December 1, 2010

We already brought you a look at the Wynwood Walls project from Shepard Fairey, but now comes more images (North Miami St. & 28th) as he and his posse continue their assault on Miami. Expect more walls as Mr. Obey has plenty of events to keep him in town through the rest of the week including a brunch to honor him for being guest editor of PAPER’s art issue, DJing the Trespass release and signing / Miami New Times Party / Fountain Party, and hosting […]

Studio Visits / Interviews: Greg Lamarche

Posted by AM Editor, November 30, 2010

Although we’ve been familiar with Greg Lamarche’s work for some time, it took seeing his installation at Scope NY 2010 (covered) for us to start to realize that there was definitely much more to his art than cutting and pasting paper. From his obsessive stockpiling of found and vintage papers to his keen ability to highlight specific or overlooked aspects of those materials, such as bar codes or patterns, Lamarche has a unique talent for collage and a clever approach to the medium that is […]

Studio Visit: Pete Watts

Posted by AM Editor, November 29, 2010

Brooklyn-based artist Pete Watts was nice enough to invite AM to come by his Greenpoint studio recently to check out what he’s been working on as of late. We first had the pleasure of seeing the Rhode Island School of Design graduate’s work at Joshua Liner Gallery’s 2010 summer group show (covered), and were certainly impressed by the intricately detailed graphite-drawn environments. Watts obsessively researches interesting natural and man-made structures, and then unifies specific aspects of each into images that are at once architectural, geological […]

Streets: Claudio Ethos (France)

Posted by sleepboy, November 29, 2010

The street surrealist of Sao Paolo, Claudio Ethos, (Brazil certainly is one the hotbeds for street artists isn’t it?) recently threw up this sick piece in what looks to be in Paris. Known for his intricate work and signature fluid characters, this piece certainly doesn’t disappoint. Luckily for us, Vitostreet was on hand to document all the action. More views as well as in progress shots after the jump…

Overtime: Nov 21 – 28

Posted by sleepboy, November 28, 2010

Cai Guo-Qiang is commissioned by the Museum of Fine Art Houston (MFAH) to produce Odyssey, the largest gunpowder drawing he has made to date (10 by 162 feet) Adam Lindemann has a seven-story townhouse in Manhatten filled with blue-chip art. Richard Avedon’s “Dovima with the Elephants” set a record for the artist’s work at auction when it sold for $1,148,910 at Christie’s Paris last Saturday. The photograph was purchased by Dior fashion house (Dovima is wearing a Dior dress designed by Yves Saint-Laurent). When young […]

Streets: El Mac (Mexico)

Posted by sleepboy, November 27, 2010

El Mac, who just showed at Joshua Liner Gallery with Damon Soule (covered), recently threw up a massive mural in Campeche, Mexico. The piece is the second in a series of murals he is working on for the Seres Queridos project which celebrates the unique Dia de los Muertos tradition. More detailed views after the jump…
