So, in no particular order, here are our favorite books published in 2022. ‘4000’ by INVADER The Parisian-artist’s global invasion is undoubtedly one of the largest and most ambitious art projects that has ever been undertaken.

Release/Benefit: Banksy – ‘Fragile/Agile’

Posted by feralthings, December 15, 2022

Continuing his support for humanitarian causes around the globe, Banksy is releasing a new screen print in partnership with Giles Duley’s Legacy of War Foundation. The proceeds will help those directly impacted by Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine by allowing the Foundation to purchase ambulances and generators as the country heads into the harsh winter months. The image features a white mouse whose claw marks, individually made by Banksy with a sharpened pizza cutter, have obscured the first two letters of the work ‘fragile’. The […]

Recap: Maya Hayuk – ‘Spin Cycle’ @ Alice Gallery

Posted by feralthings, October 27, 2022

Last weekend saw the conclusion of Maya Hayuk‘s Spin Cycle exhibition at Alice Gallery in Brussels. The influence of Hayuk’s history, identify and personal narrative stand visually proud in her abstract compositions: the X’s are evocative of the cross-stitching her grandmother taught her as a child, the kaleidoscopic rainbow of colors underscores her sense of queer kinship and the visual engagement of her work reflects her long history of social activism. But, her use of multiple transparent and opaque layers take individual paintings far beyond […]

Streets: Pejac – “WELCOME” (Nuart Aberdeen 2022)

Posted by sleepboy, July 3, 2022

Recently in Aberdeen, Scotland, Pejac completed his latest outdoor project which he entitled WELCOME. The whimsical and detailed work features his version of a classic doormat with a resulting piece that is more than the sum of its parts. The street intervention was placed in front of a building that the Spanish artist chose because it has hosted many charities as well as is a home for vulnerable residents facing social exclusion. Created for Nuart Aberdeen 2022, Pejac hopes the piece presents a “message of dignity, […]

Opening: Invader ‘Rubikcubist’ @ MIMA

Posted by feralthings, June 25, 2022

Invader (featured) has described his tiled global invasion as spreading like a benevolent virus, continually mutating and changing. If that’s true then the virus undoubtedly jumped the species barrier in 2004 when he created the first Rubikcubist piece from nine Rubik’s Cubes, each manipulated into his desired configuration to create an image from the just six colors available on the iconic logic puzzle. The technique is a natural development of his aesthetic which replicates the humble pixel and a major new exhibition of over 100 […]

Posted by feralthings, June 8, 2022

Showing: Os Gêmeos – ‘In the Corner of the Mind’ @ Lehmann Maupin (London)

Posted by feralthings, May 19, 2022

Almost unbelievably, In The Corner Of The Mind is Os Gêmeos’ first solo show in the UK. The exhibition at Lehmann Maupin’s new London outpost allows the viewer to once again dive into the twin’s playful, personal universe created from small memories which they call Tritez. A large canvases which shares its name with that of the exhibition depicts a head supported by crutches and, as a result, is strongly suggestive of Salvador Dalí’s Le Sommeil (Sleep). For Dali, the crutches hint at the fragility […]

Showing: Alicia McCarthy @ V1 Gallery

Posted by feralthings, May 17, 2022

Returning for her third solo exhibition at V1 Gallery in Copenhagen, Alicia McCarthy is currently showing her latest body of abstract, intertwined paintings and urban-rustic explorations of the nature of community. The Oakland-based artist’s work lies at the intersection of numerous subcultures including graffiti, skateboarding, folk art, social activism and punk. The latter’s ethos of ‘unity’, encompassing both meanings of the word, is particularly apparent; within the paintings, the threads are each rendered in different colors, underscoring their singular individualism, but they all share similar […]

Known for his Seismic series of black & white works, the Danish artist is venturing into new territory with color and a more sculptural aesthetic. “There was a time when my studio consisted of a pair of virtual reality glasses. VR showed me that my drawn line was thriving detached from the surface of the paper and was sculptural […]
