Human-Animal Hybrids Courtesy Kaff-Eine and Lil-Hill in Bushwick

Kaff-Eine hails from Melbourne, Australia and has spent two weeks in Brooklyn in June doing her first paintings here ever. The dryly warm days have provided a perfect opportunity to bask in the sun and paint her slender and sexy animal/human hybrids in repose.

Toronto born and based Li-Hill samples a larger swath of the graffiti/street art style continuum but overlapped Kaff-Eine in the animal world when they collaborated as a crew in the BK last week.

Their Fantasy-Figurative Vs. Abstracted Vs. NeoRealism styles could not be more disanalogous, but this is the age of the mashup-transformer-cyborg so this sweet pair of walls at the Bushwick Collective served as an open laboratory of skin grafting and limb planting for Kaff-Eine and Lil-Hill and all to witness and behold. The resulting futuristic energy field envelopes a darkly quiet otherworldly scene that plays either side of a steer barred window beneath a coiled razor wire.

“Welling Court” 2014, a Grassroots Mural Event Turns 5 in Queens

“Welling Court” 2014, a Grassroots Mural Event Turns 5 in Queens

When the revered graffiti holy place named 5Pointz in Queens, New York was buffed and slated officially for demolition last fall the collective response of the graffiti / Street Art fan base and community was horror and lament. Nonetheless, community persists, and art in the streets is stronger than ever in many cities, including right here in Queens which has played host to an ever growing grassroots exhibition on the walls for five years called Welling Court.

Imagined and produced by two advocates of creativity in the public sphere and run on a shoe-string budget, Welling Court is a series of 100+ walls throughout this largely working class neighborhood that feels like it perhaps has been overlooked by the rest of the city. With a mix of some of New York’s newest immigrants and families, the modest residential/light manufacturing neighborhood has had a eye-jolting injection of spirit and free art every summer since 2009.

We look forward to this annual event for a number of reasons, among them: the unpretentious spirit of community creativity at work as tens of artist straddle ladders and stepstools side by side painting walls, the friendly inquisitive neighbors who hang out and discuss the art and prepare a variety of foods to share on folding tables in the middle of the street, and the unbridled enthusiasm of the kids who race through the neighborhood on foot, bicycle, scooter, even grocery cart.

Unsponsored by brands and run by community elbow grease, Welling Court brings lots of Street Art / graffiti / public art enthusiasts and almost no police presence or crime for that matter. Breaking their own record this June at 127 painted walls, organizers Garrison and Alison Buxton help hook up the opportunity and artists are happy to take advantage of it. Here is just a relatively small selection of images taken by photographer Jaime Rojo at Welling Court 2014.
