Promoting his new exhibition at Cory Helford Gallery this weekend, street artist/muralist/fine artist D*Face paints a new mural in Beverly Hills that will make you think. And wonder.
Who is she remembering? And is the person she’s speaking to trapped alive underground?
Art is open to interpretation, and the best stuff leaves the questions open.
We wrote about his new exhibition Painting Over the Cracks at Corey Helford Gallery HERE.

2012 London Gymnast by #CodeFC (VIDEO)
Watch the Street Artist create a stencil and watch 50 other graphic elements fly, flicker, and shimmer across the screen at the same time. It’s the Gymnastic Minority Report!
Voice of Art with Enik One. Los Angeles and the crackdown on murals. (VIDEO)
It’s weird how they disguised his voice and face on this, like he’s an international extraterrestrial terrorist of some sort. Dude, he’s smacking up some wheatpastes. Calm yourself.
Conor Harrington Will “Meat” You on the Street and in the Studio (VIDEO)
Giving us the lowdown on his formative graff years and his subsequent transition into fine art and his continuing love for both games – a promo from his show at Lazerides.
YO! It’s ND’A Up on a Roof in Bushwick, BK Baby! (VIDEO)
Dan Gingold and Andrew Morton shot and produced this very atmospheric time-lapse video of ND’A just off the train tracks of the JMZ – a ghostlike shimmer on a rooftop. Well done.
On a side note, we hear that the primary goal of this video is to bring fame to the participants, which hopefully will result in a yacht filled with whiskey and strippers. If you are invited I would wear my life preserver the entire time just in case. Nothing else, just the life preserver.

Lazarides LA is proud to introduce, EuroTrash: a stellar line up of some of the hottest European artists around.
Hailing from France, JR will bring his unique vision to Beverly Hills. Immersing himself within cultures where struggle and conflict are rife, he presents his monochromatic photographs and installations.
Renovating the urban environment much like JR, is the innovative Portugese artist Alexandre Farto aka Vhils. He manipulates a variety of surfaces to create his extraordinary vision. From the brick facade of buildings to peeling off layered flyposters, he reveals images that explore the sub-cultures and dynamism of a city.
Cork born painter Conor Harrington explores the illusion of power and the emotional side of masculinity in his large-scale paintings. Combing the fast pace of grafitti art with traditional oil painting, resulting in energetic murals of soldiers and conquerors existing within a chaotic abstracted landscape.
Antony Micallef returns to LA with his distinctive style of painting. Drawing on icons of contemporary society which both celebrate and condemn modern day living. His most recent works are built upon a profound belief in the act of brushstrokes and animals and humans merge in the happy accident of the artist’s extreme stream of consciousness.
Immortalising the individual in monumental proportions is what these exciting artist do best. Using the overlooked, misunderstood and mundane elements of our everyday, each artist captures our attention with their distinctive style and alternative approach.
