Swinging Trunks – Cernesto Gets Elephantine in London

May 25, 2013

What ya gonna do with all that junk inside your trunk?

“I got to do two nice murals in London,” says Cern as he flies back to dirty old New York for the Memorial Day Weekend in time for the official start of Summer. It looks like there is a lot of elephant love going on here, no? “It’s a metropolis of sorts built upon “upside down” elephants. It became the foundation for other hybrid creatures to dwell in.”

This one is not human-centric, he says, it’s elephant-centric. He says that he was in the aerosol zone and this “gravity defying romance unfolded above Bricklane as more elephants got to visit London. ”

Badunka dunk dunk and the trunk trunk trunk, know what I’m sayin’?  Come on Summer! Bring it.

BSA Film Friday: 05.24.13

May 24, 2013

Our weekly focus on the moving image and art in the streets. And other oddities.

Now screening: Alice Pasquini in Italy, Rise and Fall of Street Art in Barcelona, Jaz “Cult to The Character”, and Enzo & Nio in New York.

BSA Special Feature:
Alice Pasquini at Memorie Urbane 2013 in Italy

Rise and Fall of Street Art in Barcelona: Trailer

These folks are raising funds to tell the story of how the Street Art scene in Barcelona has changed radically in the last half dozen years. The city appears to have celebrated the scene for a number of years but is now changing the tune as corporate advertisers pay for the same walls to communicate messages. Some call it a battle for public space. Others throw their hands in the air and call it gentrification.

Help the producers of the “Rise and Fall” documentary meet their goals. Click HERE to help.

Jaz “Cult to The Character” in Vienna

Street Artist/Fine Artist JAZ just completed this new piece in his inimitable style in coordination with his new show  that opened Wednesday in Vienna at Inoperable Gallery

Enzo & Nio in New York

The newest in the series of “Wild in the Streets” by Dega Films is here. They have 5 more days to go to reach their fundraising goal on Kickstarter if you would like to support the work.

First Time EVER – The Street Artist in Cleveland

May 23, 2013

A Hammer, Pliers, and Kaleidascopic Vision

Street Artist EVER was in Cleveland with Nick Marzullo from Pawn Works as Nick visited his hometown neighborhood of Collinwood a few weeks ago. While there the native Argentinian did this huge colorful and compelling mural in his surrealist style – perhaps it is a scene depicting a master of industry controlling the tools of technology while a mass of workers is in tumult below him.  But just what does he see with those blue streams flowing from his eyes? Whatever the backstory is for his works, the talent and imagination are clear wherEVER he goes.

Nick wants to give a shout out to Amy Callahan of Arts Collinwood. Special thanks to Nick for these images.

Mad One In Collaborartion With The Screaming Sky Gallery Present: “Printed Matters” 2013 (Portland, Oregon)

May 22, 2013 ,

Printed Matter

Street/Gallery artist and curator “Mad One” will present and team up with The Screaming Sky Gallery in Portland,OR to host this one of a kind exhibit “Printed Matters”, a showcase of local and international artists, graphic designers, graffiti artists and of course avid print makers. The show will feature unique prints available in limited editions as well as in an array of print making mediums. During the opening reception we will have a handful of surprises like  plenty of sticker giveaways, free handouts throughout the night provided by our sponsors like energy drinks, clothes, magazines, dvds and limited edition items produced by showcasing artists and much more….

So both you and I know these types of shows are on the rise and there have been several Graffiti/Urban art themed shows throughout the city the last few years and this is one of a kind for sure “Mad One”, a Portland based street/gallery artist and curator, had the opportunity to lock down a variety of talented artists here locally,throughout the states as well as internationally for this group show.We have artists ranging from New York to California,Canada, the U.K. and beyond.

“Printed Matters” is primarily designed around supporting the urban art movement and bringing awareness to the artists involved and how they have gone from the streets to modern figures being displayed in today’s galleries and museums. Also the curator really wanted to shed light on the different mediums/methods used in printmaking and at the same time expose these rare pieces for all to see and or possibly take home. “Mad One”, a street art advocate, has taken on the duty of curating this one of a kind show as well as putting together some great line-ups in years past throughout different galleries in the U.S.

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.
