Actually it’s just a street art tour, complete with map
French Street Artist Monsieur Invader, a favorite of New Yorkers and Jonathan LeVine Gallery, has created a 21 stop Invader Tour in the streets of San Diego for visitors to the new show “Viva la Revolucion: A Dialogue with the Urban Landscape” opening at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCASD).
The show features 21 artists from 8 countries including Akay (Sweden), Banksy (U.K.), Blu (Italy), Mark Bradford (U.S.), William Cordova (U.S.), Date Farmers (U.S.), Stephan Doitschinoff [CALMA] (Brazil), Dr. Lakra (Mexico), Dzine (U.S.), David Ellis (U.S.), FAILE (U.S.), Shepard Fairey (U.S.), Invader (France), JR (France), Barry McGee (U.S.), Ryan McGinness (U.S.), Moris (Mexico), Os Gemeos (Brazil), Swoon (U.S.), and Vhils (Portugal).
After two very successful New York shows, Brooklyn born artist DAIN, makes his first solo show in europe at the Lebenson Gallery in Paris. His love for old Hollywood glam is evident in all his work. This, along with his roots in graffiti, create a gritty yet classy street art style . ” BORN AGAIN” will bring back to life an era long gone..”
The Bearded Brooklyn Brotherman Readies His Solo Show at Galerie Itinerrance
Sunday afternoon stencil artist Logan Hicks had to “take it outside” – so often the case with artists who use cans to create.
The artist who celebrates the vanishing point perspective is framed here by the streetscape of Paris.
His intricately cut stencils were there for any passerby to see as Logan set up shop on the street, carefully placing layer after layer, strategically sticking a bit of blue gaffers tape here and there to keep them in place, and wielding well-rendered plumes of colored aerosol above the templates to fill the empty shapes.

“The Long Road” by Logan Hicks
By nightfall he finished preparing his latest pieces, including his near classic “The Long Road” and a new addition “Life Line”. Today he’s taking it inside to paint a mural inside the gallery.
“Geishaglass” by Exart created with nine layers of stencils on glass.
Welcome to l’hermitage, have a seat! This attractive and airy solarium sports a tribute to the 90’s movie “Trainspotting”. Samantha translates the text loosely as “When you’re a junkie, your only trouble: Get Dope”.
Stencil artist Spizz names this one “Sound System is the System Sound”
In this scurrilous depiction of what appears to be UK politians hanging by the neck, T-Wat urges viewers to Vote Green next to a pile of tires. Gordon Brown, Nick Clegg, and David Cameron, all running for the top post in Britain appear to be "hung" - a reference to a "hung parliament" possibility, and not an advocation of actual hanging (Please note that BSA would never advocate violence toward anyone. Period. )
In the past I breezed by destroyed posters and flyers that amass on construction worksites and abandoned buildings with little thought. Thanks to the work of photographer Vinny Cornelli I have learned to see them entirely differently – like Earth Science, like strata; a layer of text or design or photography with internally consistent characteristics that distinguishes it from contiguous layers.The destruction and consequent revealing of shapes, color, and texture create haphazard new compositions. Sometimes it doesn’t work, but hell yeah, some times it does, and Vinny is always on the lookout.
After my recent trip photographing street art in Hamburg, it brought me back to some of the photos I took last summer in Paris, Berlin and Vienna. I thought it would make the perfect follow-up piece for my bi-weekly posts for BrooklynStreetArt.com. I think I would rather let the pictures speak for themselves. Hope you enjoy them.
