‘LA VENIN’ DA MENTAL VAPORZ . Group Show at Rtist . Melbourne, Australia

admin — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 22:12:14 +0000

February 2012: France is crippled by arctic weather conditions and paralyzed by the presidential elections delirium.

Leaving Toulouse, Lyon and Paris, the prolific French graffiti crew Da Mental Vaporz (DMV) decide to conquer the oceans for sunny horizons down under.

Aboard “Le Venin”, the DMV sailors consisting of Bom.k, Blo, Brusk, Dran, Gris1, ISO, Jaw, Kan, and Sowat are heading to Melbourne, Australia.

Gathering their unique and distinctive style, the DMV crew form a gigantic nonapus, a nine-tentacles creature gifted with incredible energy, mastering many techniques with military precision.

Monumental murals breathe through an explosion of colors, combining letters, throw-ups, calligraffiti or half-tone graffiti. Figurative paintings display a touch of dark humor while erotic characters transport the viewer to another dreamlike scenery.

The DMV show will present a new body of works from all members, showcasing both collective paintings as well as individual works on paper and canvas.

The rest is for you to discover…

SIXEART . Solo at N2 Galería . Barcelona, Spain

SIXEART – Cosmovisión Andina y los Hijos del Inti
Solo Show at N2 Galería. November 17th, 7pm.
Enrique Granados 61. Barcelona, Spain.

“Cosmovisión Andina y los Hijos del Inti” is an approximation to the ancient cultures of the Andes, full of colour, wisdom and misticism. Sixeart uses his own pictoric language, and reinvents a new idea of ancestral connections.

Sixeart is back on show at N2 Galería, where some of the discerning public found out about his work a year before the Tate Modern discovered him. We can say Sixeart has been fortunate. Although this is true, it’s backed by many years of work and selfless dedication to his art, and, above all, to his singular and unpredjudiced style.

The conceptuality that Sixeart has put into his work has stirred Casa América’s interest in Madrid. Plaza Cibeles will host a purpose-built installation at the same time as ARCO and later, in March, an exhibition with all of his latest work.

RENE ALMANZA . Solo at Fifty24SF . San Francisco, USA

admin — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 16:09:59 +0000

Last Thursday evening, Monterrey, Mexico-based artist, René Almanza unveiled a series of graphite/watercolor paintings at Fifty24SF. The show is entitled Stranger, the definition which the artist states as “a foreigner, a resident alien, one in the house of another as a guest, visitor, or intruder, a person or thing that is unknown or with whom one is unacquainted, one who does not belong to or is kept from the activities of a group, one not privy or party to an act, contract, or title, one that interferes without right.” The title seemed suitable for the work displayed, in which the artist played the role as a disconnected observer with themes spanning from voyeurism, observing a sinister futuristic world, to portraits of people around the gallery during his visit to San Francisco.
