Images of the Week: 03.24.13

March 24, 2013

March 21 hit us this week and that means Spring and that means more birds, flowers, sidewalk sales, thigh-high shorts, and Street Art and graffiti are on their way! Great to find this new brick wall falling apart by Aakash Nahalini in the subway this week, and then to learn that it is a sketch for future ideas. Also we’re on the look out for a new sculptural Faile tribute to Revs somewhere on NYC streets, and you might have seen a few new bird houses from XAM. Aside from some of the regular players, you can be sure there are some new kids on the block because this form of expression continues to expand and whether its a one-off, or the start of a long career, the street continues to inspire artists to get their stuff out there and skip the proscribed route.

Meanwhile, here’s our weekly interview of the street, this week featuring Aakash Nihalani, Ayatollax, Bast, Be Super, David Gouny, El Sol 25, Foxx Face, and Oculo.

BSA Film Friday: 02.15.13

February 15, 2013

 

Our weekly focus on the moving image and art in the streets. And other oddities.

Now screening: Miss Van in São Paulo, Ronzo and “Roachio”, and David Gouny: Gouny the Froggy and his Polaroid 1000

 

BSA Special Feature:

Miss Van in São Paulo, Brazil

“I’m trying to find a way to do painting the same way I would do a throw up.”

“I’m over sensitive and I have to use it somehow.”

In this film by Dscreet the Street Artist and fine artist Miss Van shares some insight of her personal approach to her fwork, her roots in graffiti, and her feelings about getting up in the street.

Ronzo and “Roachio”

A short time-lapse of Ronzo on a rooftop in East London doing a painting of his cockroach character “Roachio”.

David Gouny: Gouny the Froggy and his Polaroid 1000

Parisian Street Artist and performance artist David Gouny also creates a bloated form of sculpture and costume – mirroring the full-figured roundness of his ladies on the street. In this brief vignette we see him as frog, taking his polaroid camera to the park to do some photography.

New David Gouny in Paris

November 12, 2012

New images here of a curious collection of curvaceous ladies from Paris by David Gouny. Meant to be amusing and empowering, the messages and symbols they appear with are aimed at the French but have a wider appeal in their simplicity and cheekiness.

Fat Riot Invades Montmartre Streets in Paris

October 13, 2012 , , ,

Wheat-Pasting Botero, David Gouny Rolls Out a New Collection

Like a tray of hot chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies these one-off hand painted wheat pastes have been just been served in the area of Montmartre to the streets of Paris. A Botero for the urban art fan, Street Artist David Gouny has specialized in plumply chunky everyday characters and idealized rotund super sheroes in bikinis and high heels in top-down convertibles since the mid-2000s.

Often comical, fashionable, or even erotic, the strutting ladies in Gouny’s scenes can be comical in their placement or tableau. With this little chubby collection Gouny appears to widen his family of characters to include a more cultural references than previously- including one Russian hatted tribute to the activists Pussy Riot. As ever, the central focus continues as the heralded full-figured gals he loves who have so much to offer.
