Images of the Week: 06.16.13

June 16, 2013

Big week for street festivals on BSA where we blew up our server on the LODZ murals in Poland, the MURAL Festival in Montreal, and now the most community based of them all – the Ad Hoc Wellington Court block party Street Art jamboree thing in Queens, which we have some new images of today. Not to mention we got up on some roofs and Klub7 got down on the ground. So much fun, sun, and good times to be had with art and the creative spirit cut loose in the streets.

Here’s our weekly interview of the street, this week featuring Alice Mizrachi, Amuse, Andy Pants, Billy Mode, Chris Stain, Dan Witz, Dennis McNett, Droid 907, Icy & Sot, JCHM-IX, Lucx, Nice-One, Okuda, Olek, PRTL, Stefan Ways, This is Awkward, and UNO.

Shout out to Garrison and Alison Buxton for the big throw-down at Welling Court, which they do so well and with such love. We’ll have more images coming up.

Images of the Week: 06.09.13

June 9, 2013

Big murals are proliferating at the moment but it is still the domain of the individual street artist to smack up smaller works, stickers, stencils, wheatpastes and the like. We’re featuring quite a few of these smaller personal pieces this week in the mix of some larger ones.

Here’s our weekly interview of the street, this week featuring 1986, Bortusk Leer, ELV, FKDL, Icy & Sot, JR, Martha Cooper, ND’A, Pigeon, Wakuda and XAM.

Culture Fix Presents: Bortusk Leer “Monsters in New York” (Manhattan, NYC)

June 3, 2013 ,

Bortusk burst onto the street art scene in 2007 with naively spray painted and marker penned psychedelic monsters and characters. These characters have become a common sight on the streets of London, Amsterdam, Barcelona and countless other European cities. They have made their way around the globe by air, sea and land to far flung places such as India, Australia, Cambodia, New Zealand and of course the good old USA, (where they have popped up in New York, Seattle and Alaska to name but a few.)

A writer who has used Arabic lettering since 2003, A1one just completed this new piece and translates it for us. “The word is Love (Ishq). In all the Middle East they can understand the meaning of this word… It refers to the divine or clean kind of love,” says A1one.

JR and José Parlá Show the Wrinkles in Havana at Bryce Wolkowitz

May 15, 2013

While in New York for his “Inside Out” project, French Street Artist and photographer JR joined with American artist José Parlá to exhibit photos and a couple of new pieces to celebrate their collaborations on walls in Cuba last year. “The Wrinkles of the City, Havana, Cuba” at Bryce Wolkowitz continues in the route of JR’s ongoing photography project documenting people in a given city (Cartagena, Shanghai, LA) who have endured the tests of time and have lines on their face to prove it.

An original piece created for the show by JR and José Parlá for “The Wrinkles of The City, Havana, Cuba.” (photo © Jaime Rojo)

The Cuban heritage of the Brooklyn painter Parlá may have helped set the stage for a collaborative Street Art project in Havana during its biennale, adding context to the marked and distressed walls that characterize much of this city, whose mottled textures and subtle color washes in turn add character to the artists work. With his hand painted gestural movements and markings surrounding and anchoring JR’s photographic wheat-pastes, Parlá gives hand-hewn florid kineticism to the poignancy of the proud portraits; a powerful example of storytelling on the street.

MyPlasaticHeart Presents: Tatiana Suarez and Jason Levesque “Lush Natura” (Manhattan, NYC)

May 13, 2013 ,

Lush Natura

Lush Natura Opens Friday May 24, 2013

On Friday, May 24, mph will celebrate the opening of a new duo exhibit, Lush Natura, featuring the artwork of Tatiana Suarez and Jason Levesque. Lush Natura is the culmination of these artists’ exploration into the living world of the lesser loved fauna. In this show, Tati and Jason both draw inspiration from slimy slugs to universally loathed critters. Their artwork reflects the artists’ mutual fascination from opposite ends of what is typically considered beautiful, as they create stunning juxtapositions between big-eyed beauties and bug-eyed beasties.
