AM last showed you street artist Judith Supine’s colorful psychedelic imagery with the unveiling of his massive 18 x 16′ kinetic sculpture piece at the 15 Years of New Image Art show back in January.

Some pieces look slated for the street and others for gallery shows. Either way, we’re interested […]
Tessar Lo made his solo exhibition debut this past Saturday with “Future Perfect†(previewed) at LeBasse Projects.

Though I’d want to know what it’s like to not rely on, need or respond to anyone but myself, no man is an island.” The show also features a notable installation from Lo […]

The Neo-Con Collective and London urban artist Zeus overhauled the rear of the gallery with “Hollowood,” featuring Ellis G’s (Seen […]
