The Outsiders London Present: “A Study of Studies” A Group Exhibition (London, UK)

May 22, 2013 ,

The Outsiders
The Outsiders London presents an exhibition of preparatory studies from a stellar international line-up, featuring many of the gallery’s most popular artists. Studies are drawn or painted by artists in the earliest stages of planning a new work, and offer a fascinating glimpse into their methods. Although these works are sometimes small they are always spirited, with a notable vitality provided by the artist’s imagination springing into gear. A study can be a fantastic addition to an existing body of work, or an affordable way to start such an anthology.

A superb exhibition for both discerning collectors and besotted admirers, browse through A Study of Studies this May for an engrossing contemporary art experience.

Artists: Jonathan Yeo, Lucy Mclauchlan, Conor Harrington, Dan Witz, Sage Vaughn, Charlie Isoe, Jacques Floret, Oliver Jeffers, Chloe Early, David Hochbaum, Mimi S.
Location: The Outsiders London
Dates: Friday 31st of May 2013 to Saturday 29th of June 2013

Don John Takes a Bite In Copenhagen

May 22, 2013

Using a Thick Marker to Ink Out His New “Bird With A Bite”

Street Artist Don John takes a monochromatic tip as he rocks his new illustration on in this clean wall in Copenhagen, where he hails from. Audacious and clean, the black marker lines morph the soaring and fierce together seamlessly and make the stuff pop off the wall.  It helps that he has been cutting stencils for a few years and that he continues to work to evolve his own style in group shows, festivals, and on the street.  If your stuff is this tight, you don’t need a lot of color to make a statement.

May 21, 2013

Brett Flanigan and Cannon Dill just finished this huge mural in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood combining abstract black and white renderings of the animal world and bright popping abstracts wrapping forms from head to toe. On their way across the country from hometown Oakland they stopped off to see their buddies at Pawn Works for this ongoing “Art in Public Places” project, before they continue on to New York. Expect to see more from these two.

Ad Hoc Arts Presents: 4th Annual Welling Court Mural Project. (Queens, NYC)

May 20, 2013 ,

4th Annuak Welling Court Mural Project

70+ artists from around the world painting 100+ spots!

Now it is 4th year, the Welling Court Mural Project began when the community of Welling Court in Queens, New York asked Ad Hoc Art to help them spruce up their neighborhood in 2009. Ad Hoc Art enthusiastically rose to the occasion in May 2010 organizing a project fitting for the diverse and energetic inhabitants. Each year after, Ad Hoc assembled a spectacular crew of legendary and groundbreaking artists spanning more than 50 years of activity to transform the neighborhood into a 24/7 street-level gallery and public art experience.

Renowned artists with deep roots in the movements have created site-specific works for this project. This new array of visual experiences provides fresh contexts for how people working, visiting, and living in this diverse cultural gem of Queens think about and interact with their environment. Bringing art from around the world directly to the heart of this community and NYC, the project has received remarkable support and interest as it grows more vibrant with each wall, artist, and enthusiast that comes on board.
