lOAKal Presents: “By The Numbers” (Oakland, CA)

January 31, 2013
While the master painters of the past are often romanticized for their singular virtuosity, many great artists throughout the course of history created their masterpieces with help and a clear delegation of tasks. In today’s day and age, this structure has changed, but originality and technical skill are still polemic topics. As an experiment, lOAKal has invited Kelly Allen, D Young V, Nite Owl, Lisa Pisa, Reggie Warlock, Onedr, and Chris Micro to design pieces for our upcoming exhibition, “By the Numbers,” opening February 1 during Oakland Art Murmur.

White Walls Gallery Project Space Presents: Word to Mother “Fuck You Pay Me” (San Francisco, CA)

January 30, 2013

Fuck You Pay Me is an ongoing project from London based Artist, Word To Mother. Being self employed for a decade and frustrated with the constant struggle of getting paid by clients, WTM has been producing “Fuck You Pay Me” Bats as an embodiment of his disdain.

“Any self employed Creative will understand how frustrating it is to get paid by clients who want work done immediately but then are reluctant to pay. I have devised a solution to the problem, the ‘Fuck You Pay Me’ bat. If you have not received your payment within 30 days of completing the job, simply take the bat to the employer who is reluctant to pay and let the bat do the talking. 100% success rate guaranteed.”

Weldon Arts Gallery Presents: Nether “Crumbling Cities” (Brooklyn, NY)

January 22, 2013

Weldon Arts Presents “Crumbling Cities” – A Solo Exhibition by NETHER

Weldon Arts is proud to present Nether in his first New York exhibition. Nether is an urban art campaign that hopes to impact and beautify the bleakness of the city of Baltimore through vibrant street art with the aim of evoking public discussion. The pieces that are wheat pasted to the selected (usually vacant) facades comment on the city below the smog as well as the forces that have brought it to its shameful state. Nether sees his work as a force that solidifies people’s connections to the city Baltimore. The quest is an attempt to reclaim and recycle the tragic landscape all while opening people’s eyes to often ignored issues in the city, such as mass vacancy.

Opening Thursday, January 24th, from 6pm to 9pm. The exhibit runs through Saturday, February 16th.

Turner Galleries Present: Kyle Hughes-Odgers “A thousand lights from a hundred skies” (Northbridge, West Australia)

January 22, 2013

‘A THOUSAND LIGHTS FROM A HUNDRED SKIES’
OPENS 6PM 8 FEBRUARY – 9 MARCH 2013
TURNER GALLERIES
470 WILLIAM STREET, NORTHBRIDGE WA 6003

Kyle Hughes-Odgers is better known in Perth as Creepy, the popular street artist, renowned for his large scale murals and wall paintings.

These adorn the walls of the Norfolk Basement, the Condor Tower Carpark, the Northbridge Western Power building, Bar 399, and Juicebox Creative. His most recent commission is a whopping 40m, 7 panel mural for Murdoch University. You’ve probably also recently seen his work on the wooden hoardings surrounding new developments on William Street in Northbridge, and around the city in laneways, music festivals and on forgotten walls. His street work is not confined to Perth, he was very happy to discover that some street art he did in New York had been selected for Street Art New York, published by Prestel (Random House) in April 2010. Other travels and interactions with city walls include London, Barcelona, Berlin, Sydney and Melbourne.

Lazarides Gallery Presents: Dan Witz “Prisioners 2012-2013” (London, UK)

January 22, 2013

New York-based artist Dan Witz makes his solo debut with Lazarides at our Rathbone Place gallery with Prisoners 2012-2013, displaying paintings from both his Prisoner and Mosh Pit series.

Dan Witz has been at the forefront of artists working on the street since the late 1970s. Combining digital reproduction with the old master’s technique of illusionism, the artist’s lifelike figures appear as if from nowhere on signposts, walls, windows and manhole covers across the world. Painted and layered over digital photographs, each image is designed to surprise the viewer, taking them aback and from the expected into an alarming state of disbelief.

New Heart City Gallery Presents: FKDL “Midi – Minuit” (Paris, France)

January 19, 2013

When the speed of an object approaches the speed of light, time slows down, and the space distances contract. With the exhibition “Midi-Minuit” – “Midday-Midnight” – shown from January 25th to March 10th, 2013 at the New Heart City Gallery, Franck Duval gives us an artistic reflection on time and light and involves us into an imaginary experience of these two components of our universe.

For this new exhibition, the artist abandons the Scotch tape in favor of collage and painting. He remains true to his feminine silhouettes, but creates new characters and highlights them by making them ambassadors of different times of the day or night. He especially addresses in some of his works the question of the volume with installations made by accumulations of objects in connection with time and light like old clocks or flashlights.

Galleria Adiacenze Presents: Nomadic Landscapes Elements” Andreco and Luca Coclite (Bologna, Italy)

January 17, 2013
NOMADIC LANDSCAPE ELEMENTS

di LUCA COCLITE e ANDRECO

venerdì 25 gennaio alle ore 20.00
alla galleria ADIACENZE
Piazza San Martino 4f

Venerdì 25 gennaio alle ore 20.00 Adiacenze inaugura la mostra “Nomadic Landscape Elements”, doppia personale di Luca Coclite e Andreco.
Per questo progetto espositivo l’incontro tra i due artisti è stato fortemente voluto e determinante per la creazione di un discorso univoco riguardante il tema della mostra: il paesaggio e la sua fruizione estetica. Rispetto ad un tempo in cui c’erano città, territori e posti geografici differenti, ci troviamo oggi a vivere con modelli unici e stereotipati, che hanno generato flussi di immagini amalgamate e sovrapposto paesaggi differenti.

Fabien Castanier Gallery Presents: TILT “All You Can Eat” (Studio City, CA)

January 15, 2013

All You Can Eat

January 19 – February 17, 2013
Opening Reception | Saturday January 19th 7-10pm

Fabien Castanier Gallery is proud to present All You Can Eat, solo exhibition by Tilt. All You Can Eat will exhibit new work by Tilt, including paintings, works on paper, installations, and sculpture. In his signature bubble-letter style, Tilt serves up the quintessential American feast. He has always played with the conceptual and literal application of words, and for All You Can Eat, his evocation of the “throw-up” aesthetic is no exception. Both a reflection of the American appetite and a commentary on consumption habits in general, his work uses the instantly recognizable iconography of classic American foods to present the stereotypical over-indulgent lifestyle.

The Outsiders Gallery Presents: Nina Pandolfo “Feelings” (Newcastle, UK)

January 15, 2013

NINA PANDOLFO | FEELINGS

Artists: Nina Pandolfo
Location: The Outsiders Newcastle

There’s never been a better time to be a young lady, thinks Brazilian artist Nina Pandolfo (almost certainly correctly). Her Spice Angels portraits are part Manga, part bandes desinées, and part fashion illustration presented with all the lurid and enthralling fantasy of feminist novelist Angela Carter. These large, ambitious canvases in beguiling bright pastels will bring a balmy dollop of sunshine to The Outsiders Newcastle this January.
