John Felix Arnold at Shooting gallery

We did not happen to be at the opening reception for John FelixArnold III’s show Pilgrimage just because being based in London, a trip to at Shooting Gallery in San Francisco would have been just too epic.

We read though about it above all enjoyed very much looking at the artist’s new works which associate painting, drawing and mixed media. We are presented in this show with his hyperbolised visual depictions of a post-apocalyptic future world called Unstoppable Tomorrow.

This is a new installment in Arnold’s series of Past exhibition volumes have included Unstoppable Tomorrow Vol.1, Past from the Blast, The Love of All Above, Should I Stay or Should I Go?, Found in Darkness, Bright on Time, and In Memory Of. Read more about this work on Vimeo

We have included some of the works in the show below.

Ben Eine’s ‘Tenderloin’ A-Z showcase

Ben Eine | Art-PieWhen I first read about this event from my inbox, I must admit I got quite excited as Ben Eine and his work are exciting. If you love colours, letters and typography, you will appreciate this artist’s work.

“The venue will be announced just before the show and via Nelly Duff’s social medias”. This was enough to convince me that we were on something good.

I was wrong. What the show had to offer was a series of pieces with the whole alphabet broken down in a multitude of versions, different colours, not coloured at all, this sort of things. It did not take me long to go round the whole venue to have seen it all. I actually must more enjoyed the old graffiti and tags spread all around the venue from old jams or other shows.

I have not mentioned the launch of of ‘The World Atlas of Street Art & Graffiti by Dr Rafael Schacter that happened that night too just because, let’s be honest, the hype around Ben Eine did a good job by bringing people in and to get the copies of the book flying off the shelf…

We took a few pics anyway.

The Pancakes and Booze art show at Studio Spaces E1

PandB FLYER 2014We are over the moon to be involved in the Pancakes & Booze pop up art show.

The one day event is taking place at Studio Spaces E1 in East London on Thursday, 24th of September 2015.

We’ve secured dozens of spots and are looking for artists to submit their candidature and exhibit their work, so keep reading on…

In short…

ART . PANCAKES . BOOZE . DJ . LIVE ART . EAST LONDON .

7pm till 2am

SHOW ME SOME PICS!I WANT TO EXHIBIT AT PANCAKES & BOOZE!

About

Pancake batter is sizzling, beer froth is flowing, and bare flesh is slathered in paint.  Indie musicians and DJs break sound waves off the canvas-lined, graffiti-strewn walls, while revelers stuff their faces with endless amounts of free pancakes.

The Pancakes & Booze Art Show is an LA based artist movement that started in 2009 and has quickly spread to over 20+ cities throughout North America.

They currently organize some of the largest pop-up underground art showcases in the country, with the best local emerging artists, musicians, and performers each city has to offer.

HOW CAN I DISPLAY MY ARTWORK AT THE EVENT?

Artists can submit their artwork by filling out our online submission form located below under “SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION”

If accepted, there is a £10 per piece HANGING FEE to display your work.

There are NO COMMISSIONS ON SALES. You take 100% of what you sell. The £10 per piece goes towards the production costs of the event (i.e. venue rental, staff, building materials, etc.). PAYMENT (cash only) is not due until the day of installation.

There is a strict 1×1 meters MAX SIZE LIMIT for each piece you’d like to exhibit. This is due to the size of the wall panels we use to display your work. Sorry, but no work over 1×1 (meter) in size will be able to fit on the walls.

DROP OFF and INSTALLATION TIMES & DATES will be confirmed. In most cases, installation is on the day of the event between 12-5p. Once confirmed we’ll inform you of the correct time.

There is no DEADLINE for submitting artwork. We take art until we fill all the wall space available. P&B is an extremely popular show, so we recommend reserving space as soon as possible.

CAN I DO SOME LIVE ART or BODY PAINTING DURING THE SHOW?

We will have a number of live artists creating work during the event. We open the floor up to anyone who wants to create a live art piece or do body painting for the show. Please just bring your supplies, along with a drop cloth, and do your thing. There is no need to sign up. All materials must be odour free.

Submit your application and we will get back to you as soon as possible

HOW DO SALES WORK?

Most of the sales go through the artist. We highly recommend that everyone gets a credit card swiper for their phone. SquareUp and PayPal both are good options. We do not take credit cards so having your own system in place is key for making sales.

If you’re not around, we will make a sale in your absence and give you cash at the end of the night. As noted above, we do not take credit cards/checks/debit cards. If we act on your behalf during a transaction it will be cash only. We take NO COMMISSION ON SALES and will give you 100% of the cash sale at the end of the event.

After the transaction is made the buyer is allowed to take the work home with them on the spot. It is wise for you to have an extra piece on hand because you’re welcome to hang a replacement piece of equal or lesser size in the place of your sold piece. There is no extra fee for this.

You’re welcome to bring a small bin/tote/bag/etc to sell prints out of. Sorry, but we do not allow artists to set up tables to sell prints from.

Static at Whisper – Moments of clarity

StaticLondon gallery, Whisper, is proud to present its new exhibition opening in April 2012, ‘Moments of Clarity’, by the creative duo STATIC – an artistic extravaganza, showcasing an exciting collection of new layered acrylic works, as well as a variety of live art events.

STATIC is the creative output of East London based artists Tom and Craig, who have been working as one since 2006. The combination of their backgrounds in Graphics and Fine Art allows for their collaborations to create an award winning aesthetic that fuses elements of urban art with fine art.

‘Moments of Clarity’ debuts an evolved body of work from the artists. This exhibition will showcase STATIC’s new ‘layered’ work, which toys with light, reflection and transparency to create unique pieces mixing screen printing and stenciling on layers of glass, Perspex and aluminum. This practice results in ‘floating’, deconstructed portraits and multi-layered symbols and patterns, in which hope, dreams and escapism are visualised.

Words from Whisper Fine Arts gallery

Private view on the 26/04/2012 | Show runs until 26/05/2012
