Art Show: Alexone Paris France May 15th

Possibly one of my favorite artists, AlexOne, has been consistently producing great works of art long as I can remember. He’s one of the few artists that can use cartoons and not get thrown into the “funny art ghetto”. Anyways, long story short I got an email from Alex a little while ago and it said:

My next solo show will be held right behind the centre ! Rue du renard, n°23 to be pricese, at galerie LJ beaubourg.
Its title (of the show !) is “assez d’essais” (enough drafts / it’s a joke about how the french say “AC/DC”) and will be on view from may 15 til june 10 2008.
You will discover new paintings and drawings. Opening reception is Thursday, may 15, 7pm… With – for the ones who know it – a musical ‘ambiance’ by Jerk45.

Go see this show if you are anywhere near Paris on the 15th you’ll thank me

APAK!
May 17 – June 18, 2008
Reception: Saturday, May 17, 6:30 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.

Giant Robot is proud to present new works by the husband-and-wife team, APAK! Living among the furry conifer giants in a little cabin on the outskirts of Portland, Ayumi and Aaron Piland unite to bring you into their fantasies, as if going on magical journeys and returning with pictures of what transpires in their collective imagination. Their works transplant the bold colors and simplicity of Japanese pop into an expansive mini universe reminiscent of “Gnomes” books from the ’80s.

For APAK!’s Worlds of Wonder, the collaborative art duo is preparing 35 medium and small gouache paintings on wood and 6 mixed-media sculptures, as well as a special window installation. The show will depict tiny races of creatures living harmoniously with magical plants and friendly animals in rich, colorful lands.

A reception for the artists will be held from 6:30 to 10:00 on Saturday, May 17.

Art Show: Tropical Storm May 15th NY NY

Magnan Emrich Contemporary is pleased to announce the debut solo show of Puerto Rican artist Sofia Maldonado. The exhibition presents video, paintings, and a large sculpture installation. The exhibition will be on view from May 15th – June 23st, 2008.  
 The Tropical Storm is a three-part project blending elements of street culture like skateboarding, punk rock and graffiti with a feminine Latina aesthetic and the chaotic natural energy of the Caribbean. The different elements of the project -The Bowl, Broken Boards and The Skate Bags – originate from the artist’s objective to open a dialogue on the renovation of neglected public spaces and how fashion and consumerism influence counterculture youth movements (particularly how these movements are integrated into products and industries).

A skate mini-ramp will be installed in the center of the gallery designed and painted by the artist and will be available for local urban daredevils to attempt during the opening .

Sofia Maldonado was born in Puerto Rico in 1984. She received her BFA from Escuela de Artes Plasticas in San Juan and will complete her MFA in Painting from the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY this spring. She has taught various workshops on murals, as well as exhibited in Europe, New York, and Puerto Rico. Her collaborations with the exit collective were recently included in the “S” Files” Biennial at El Museo del Barrio in New York, NY. She lives and works in Brooklyn.

Artist Feature: Ruben Ubiera

Filed Under Artist Feature | 5 Comments

I got an email last week from Ruben Ubiera, an Artist living in Florida. His work is so clean and spot on I had to post pictures of his work and sign on as his newest biggest fan. He kind of takes the whole “Urban Art” thing and really makes it legit doesn’t he? I mean lets face it, Urban Art as a genre is pretty stereotypical in subject matter and the execution is scattershot at best. Ruben really takes some familiar mediums and turns them on their ear by delivering the goods where so many others bring the weakness. Hats off to Ruben for reinvesting the medium with a breath of life that you rarely see anymore!

Space Invader up in India

Posted on April 15, 2008
Filed Under Artist Feature, Street Art | Leave a Comment

I saw a link on Boing Boing today on Space Invader’s latest exploits in South East Asia. I saw that he’d done some murals in Nepal, but now he’s hit up the ancient city of Varanasi. I’ve been to Varanasi before, and hated it, but it’s great to see Street Art up in far reaching places such as India.He’s really adopted the look and feel of the hand painted signage that is ubiquitous all over India. Probably my favorite series of the year so far.
