Galerie Itinerrance
Jeudi 6 février de 18h à 21h
Né à Paris, Seth commence à s’exprimer sur les murs de sa ville au milieu des années 90.
Son terrain de prédilection est alors le 20ème arrondissement où il se fait connaître dans le milieu graffiti en se spécialisant dans la réalisation de personnages.
Diplômé de l’Ecole Nationale des Arts Décoratifs, il publie avec Gautier Bischoff en 2000 le livre Kapital, qui reste jusqu’à aujourd’hui le plus gros succès sur le graffiti français. Ils créent ensemble une maison d’édition consacrés aux artistes urbains, Wasted Talent en 2004.
Avant d’être artiste à plein temps, Seth travaille dans les industries créatives : en publicité, dans les dessins animés, dans la bande dessinée. Il peint alors dans la rue pour son plaisir.
À partir de 2003, Il part en voyage autour du monde pour échanger avec des artistes issus de cultures différentes, et s’ouvrir à de nouvelles manières de vivre et de peindre en milieu urbain.
De cette expérience naitra le livre Globe Painter en 2007 et par la suite le programme de documentaires Les Nouveaux explorateurs diffusé et produit par Canal + où Seth propose de découvrir un pays par le prisme de ses arts urbains. Pendant 5 ans, il parcourt et partage ainsi 15 destinations riches de sens.
Au cours de ses explorations artistiques, Seth a développé une peinture reconnaissable en travaillant souvent sur l’enfance. Sur le mur qu’il aborde comme une page blanche, Seth s’appuie sur l’imaginaire, individuel d’une part ou collectif – dieux locaux, mythes, contes. L’enfant devient porte-parole, messager de son questionnement. Il met en jeu son image d’innocence et place son personnage dans un contexte social, politique, géographique difficile.
Une démarche souvent en double lecture mais jamais cynique, une peinture urbaine engagée pour alerter sur l’état du monde et le faire avancer.

Samuel Owen Gallery Presents: Shepard Fairey "Facing The Giant" (Greenwich, CT)
Samuel Owen Gallery Presents: Shepard Fairey "Facing The Giant" (Greenwich, CT)
February 7, 2020 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
382 Greenwich Ave, Greenwich, CT 06830, USA
|
Samuel Owen Gallery is proud to present a selection
of original works by Shepard Fairey |
|
| Propagandist, arch manipulator, inciter, provocateur, these are all words used to describe the artist Shepard Fairey, the man many hail as the originator of the modern urban art scene and an undeniable phenomenon.
It began with an absurd sticker illustration of the wrestler André The Giant, which then evolved into an exploration of control, questioning control, and questioning the giant monolithic forces that we are all subjected to, confronting these giant issues with his work, revealing the duality to the name. The title ‘Facing the Giant’ references the giant of Fairey’s prolifically disseminated Obey Giant art campaign, but more enduringly, the giant issues and forces he confronts through his art.
Coming from a punk rock, skateboarding, and rebellious subcultures, he started off doing work in the street without permission. It was in 2008 that Shepard Fairey became a worldwide household name when he created, the renowned Obama Hope poster in red and blue colours. Since then, Fairey’s work has continued to reach the masses, inspiring the public on a global scale. Fairey’s mega sphere installation under the Eiffel Tower, entitled ‘Earth Crisis’, brought attention to the climate and sustainability debate. His work continues to address current topics of discussion across his worldwide solo exhibitions and museum shows, from Los Angeles to Paris, London, Seoul, New York, Munich and many more.
His work, a mixture of parody and protest, serves to subvert the very medium to which it attaches itself. Plastered posters adorn advertising billboards that in his own words ‘market nothingness’ while large scale posters with the simple one word message ‘obey’ stir the bewildered masses. Dissent is at the root of what he does, and it continues to be an important part of his work, pushing back against dominant systems that allow and perpetuate injustice requires dissent. His unique use of stencils, collage, photography and painting have led to collaborations with, among others, DJ Shadow, Interpol, Smashing Pumpkins, Led Zeppelin, Neil Young, the Misfits, a limited edition 12-inch featuring Chuck D, and the poster art for the Johnny Cash biopic, ‘Walk the Line’. Other collaborations include his work with Debbie Harry and Chris Stein for the Blondie ‘Pollinator’ album art, a collaborative print with Joan Jett, ‘Joan Jett The Runaway’, and the album art for Tom Petty’s ‘An American Treasure’ 2018 compilation album.
Shepard Fairey is known for his extensive and consistent production of fine art screenprints that began his career and he has continued to create provocative and accessible works with his 18 x 24-inch screen prints. For this survey of the last three decades, the selected 30 artworks will be shown as 30 x 41-inch hand painted multiples (HPMs) which are prints on unique collaged backgrounds with additional stencilling and embellishments. Facing the Giant: 3 Decades of Dissent will be the first time that many of these images are available in mediums other than the original 18 x 24-inch screen print editions that have long been unavailable on the primary market.
Shepard Fairey was born in Charleston, South Carolina. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration at the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, Rhode Island. In 1989 he created the ‘André the Giant has a Posse’ sticker that transformed into the OBEY GIANT art campaign, with imagery that has changed the way people see art and the urban landscape. After 30 years, his work has evolved into an acclaimed body of art, which includes the 2008 ‘Hope’ portrait of Barack Obama, found at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery.
‘Facing the Giant’ is a curated series of images chosen for their importance aesthetically and conceptually, and for addressing critical topics and themes frequently recurring throughout Fairey's career. "This show is a reflection, not a retrospective, because I'm still very actively creating new art, but I like the idea of highlighting both the continuity and evolution of my art and concepts over 30 years." - Shepard Fairey, 2019 |

Kolly Gallery Presents: MadC "First Lines" (Zurich, Switzerland"
Kolly Gallery Presents: MadC "First Lines" (Zurich, Switzerland"
February 8, 2020
Seefeldstrasse 52, 8008 Zürich, Switzerland
MADC
- FIRST LINES -
MadC is known for her abstractions and deconstruction of lettering. The series entitled First Lines refers to the return of the white background in the paintings as well as the practice of graffiti writers to paint a first line (sketch). The first lines or sketches are a crucial prerequisite to the creation of a graffiti piece and thus an important heritage of the graffiti culture.
|
Lately the artist has begun to accentuate her roots in graffiti by utilizing drips, splashes and flares. Instead of using graffiti writing in its formal and functional way, she has developed an artistic practice based on capturing its energy and expression. The paintings demonstrate the artist’s delicate usage of colours. Due to the white background, the colors stand out even more and crown her iconic style of painting. As the artists keeps her first line as a final result, there’s nothing that she can hide in her paintings.
|
|
|
|
The current series reflects fluidity, dynamics and awakening. Although the art works are abstract, they evoke a different individual interpretation in each spectator. Each canvas has its own mood and character - and thus allows the spectator to achieve a completely individual emotional experience. This phenomenon is known as a synesthetic perception of colours and emotions. Thereby MadC’s way of painting remains accessible and versatile at the same time.
MadC finds her inspirations while traveling, in conversations and even reading books. Collaborations with other artists also open up her mind to new approaches. The latest mural she created for the Jersey City Mural Arts Program was in June 2019 and once again she stands out with her fresh colours and the incredible size of 55m2, almost 18 floors high.

Hashimoto Contemporary Presents: In Formation" Group Exhibition. (Manhattan, NYC)
February 8, 2020 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
210 Rivington St, New York, NY 10002, USA
"In Formation" Group Exhibition
8 - 29 February 2020 Hashimoto Contemporary NYC
Hashimoto Contemporary is pleased to present In Formation, a group exhibition curated by Jennifer Rizzo. The exhibition brings together a group of artists who emphasize the use of geometric shapes and organic forms in their work.
Brooklyn-based Scott Albrecht is perhaps best known for his cut, painted and assembled wood pieces, merging the artists interest in form, attention to detail and typography.
The playfulness and low-brow style of Oakland-based Jeffrey Cheung’s boldly colored contorted nude figures explore themes of queerness, identity and intersectionality.
Minnesota-based Gregory Euclide creates sculptural relief works, paintings, and installations. Euclide juxtaposes naturally occurring, organic matter with artificial, man-made materials and found objects to create works which resemble landscape paintings but defy categorization.
Mary Iverson lives and works in Seattle, Washington. Her paintings explore the balance between the natural world and industrial activities, inspiring conversations about the causes and consequences of climate change.
Illinois-based Erik Jones utilizes elements of hyperrealism and geometric expressionism to investigate the figure, form and composition. Rendering his subjects in a hyperreal aesthetic, they are enshrouded within a colorful swell of shapes, color and form.
Augustine Kofie is a Los Angles-based artist, who creates works which harmonize opposing and contradictory dynamics, setting futuristic compositions against vintage earth-toned palettes. By doing so, the artist creates technically complex, meticulously structured formations through handmade line-work and layering.
Dan Lam, a Dallas, Texas-based sculptor and painter, explores color and form in her organically shaped sculptures. The artists engaging yet oddly unsettling sculptures highlight the artists fascination with color theory, evoking otherworldly creatures in a visceral state between consumption and consummation.
San Francisco-based Sean Newport’s sculptures consider perceived notions of reality by creating a digital aesthetic through analog processes. Newport hand-cuts wood into three-dimensional shapes, which are brightly painted and and arranged, unveiling patterns which emerge from unique geometric designs.
Please join us Saturday, February 8th from 6pm - 8pm for the opening reception of In Formation. Some of the artists will be in attendance. The exhibition will be on view through Saturday, February 29th.

The Bronx Museum Of The Arts Presents: José Parlá "It's Yours" (The Bronx, NY)
The Bronx Museum Of The Arts Presents: José Parlá "It's Yours" (The Bronx, NY)
February 26, 2020 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
1040 Grand Concourse, The Bronx, NY 10456, USA
José Parlá: It's Yours
February 26, 2020 to August 16, 2020
José Parlá: It’s Yours will be the first solo museum exhibition of the internationally renowned artist in New York City. The new paintings evoke the artist’s personal connection to the Bronx, as well as the borough’s influence, which have helped to shape how Parlá views painting history and cities around the world. José Parlá: It’s Yours is organized by guest curator Manon Slome.
While celebrating Parlá’s roots in the hip-hop energy of the Bronx, this series of paintings address the suffering caused by redlining policies, the waves of displacement imposed by gentrification, and structural racism. It’s Yours encourages viewers to question ownership in New York’s rapidly changing neighborhoods.
Parlá’s work is deeply connected to experimentation and innovation to conjure complex memory abstractions as he challenges traditional painting methods. The rich building up of surface and Parlá's signature gestural line resemble the layers of city walls, reflecting the movement and textures of neighborhoods, the marks and traces people leave behind, and the energy and challenges of the streets. In addition to large-scale paintings in the museum’s gallery, the exhibition features Parlá’s sketchbooks and drawings from age ten to seventeen as well as site specific responses in the lobby and outdoors that seek to integrate the museum with the city.
Born in Miami to Cuban parents, Parlá began painting on walls in Miami at ten years old, signing his work with the nickname "Ease." Supporting himself by designing album covers and concert fliers for hip-hop artists, he moved to the Bronx after studying painting at the Savannah College of Art & Design and Miami Dade College: New World School of the Arts. The title of the exhibition, It’s Yours, is borrowed from a song by the influential Bronx rapper T La Rock, who assured his fans that his work would continue to be about and for them no matter what. In a similar manner, Parlá acknowledges the powerful forces that shaped him as an artist and offers this work back to the Bronx in tribute: It’s Yours.
The exhibition is curated by Manon Slome Co-Founder and Board President of No Longer Empty where she is Curator at Large. Slome's curatorial work has a keen curatorial imperative to further arts for communities beyond institutional confines and to make art accessible to all. She has been working with the José Parlá for over fifteen years
A fully integrated and multi-disciplined program for youth and families will be developed alongside the exhibition to reflect the rich cultural diversity of the Bronx and its many influences on Parlà’s work. The artist will also work with the museum's after school programs to develop a mural on a plot adjacent to the museum. A catalogue by Damiani Editore will be produced in conjunction with the exhibition. Craig Dykers from Architecture and design firm Snøhetta will collaborate with José Parlá and Manon Slome on the exhibition design, and Ghetto Gastro will design a special menu for the opening of the exhibition.
José Parlá: It's Yours is made possible by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund: Culpeper Arts & Culture Program, Arison Arts Foundation, Toby D. Lewis, Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery and Ben Brown Fine Arts, London.

Galerie Artistik Rezo Presents: Quentin DMR, "Identité interne" (Paris, France)
February 27, 2020 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
14 Rue Alexandre Dumas, 75011 Paris, France
Identité interne
Vernissage le jeudi 27 février
18h-21h
|
Quentin DMR propose un nouveau travail en collaboration avec 13 jeunes issus de l’internat du lycée d’excellence François Combes à Montpellier. Ces jeunes ont entre 15 et 17 ans, et sont souvent sur le chemin de la rupture scolaire. Originaires de Montpellier et de la région Occitanie, ils sont issus de zones urbaines sensibles ou de Zones d’Éducation Prioritaire.
Entre Montpellier, Paris et New York, « Identité interne » a pour but de conduire ces élèves vers la compréhension de leurs parcours scolaire, vers l’accompagnement à la construction d’une identité, d’une personnalité, en travaillant autour de leur image, par l’image. Par la diffusion de ce projet et donc de leurs portraits à Paris et New York, ces lycéens veulent prouver que chaque projet, chaque parcours, même rêvé ou utopiste peut aboutir, surtout si l’on s’en donne les moyens et la volonté.
Exposition du 28 février au 19 mars 2020
Du lundi au jeudi de 10h à 19h, le vendredi de 10h à 18h,
et le samedi de 13h à 18h. |
