Who is Fidel Castro?

Fidel Castro | Art-PieFidel Alejandro Castro Ruz (August 13, 1926 – November 25, 2016) was a Cuban politician and revolutionary who governed the Republic of Cuba for 47 years as Prime Minister from 1959 to 1976 and then as President from 1976 to 2006 (de jure until 2008).

Damien Hirst artwork for Red Hot Chilli Peppers

Without mentioning (but I will anyway) that the hype around Damien Hirst these days is far too much, member of the YBA (Young British Artists) is, was, want to be, should not be; the point here is that he can now get away with mediocre work but some people, a large number of them sometimes, they will confabulate about it for days.

Slagging off over.

Below is his latest work and is not for anyone, it is for the Red Hot Chili Peppers upcoming album entitled “I’m with you” and I am happy to say: “Damien, you nailed it, well done.

Street art by Ben Eine

Ben Eine has been back in London and we could not hope better than seeing a new piece enhancing some wall in London.

This time you can see his work on the wall of the London Graphic center on Mercer street, London.

It reads :
Oranges and Lemons say the Bells of St Clements
Pancakes and Fritters say the Bells of St peters
Two sticks and an Apple say the Bells of Whitechapel
When I grow rich say the Bells of Shoreditch

Rory McCartney solo exhibition at Arch 402

Arch 402 is pleased to present the latest solo exhibition by acclaimed British artist Rory McCartney. Psycho Boogie introduces a new series of drawings and paintings that continue the artist’s investigations of abstract imagery.

Referencing the visual effects of Op Art, 18th century marbling techniques and 60’s pop-psychedelia, McCartney incorporates the erratic behaviour of materials to create powerful images that are spontaneously and organically formed.

Against McCartney’s flat graphic backgrounds, media such as oil, resin, pigment, and lacquer react to emit an explosion of colour and pattern that is both arresting and surprising.

McCartney’s work has been shown internationally in commercial galleries as well as public spaces including the Royal Academy and the Victoria & Albert Museum.He is the art director of Arena Homme plus magazine, and lives and works in London.

The Rebel Journey, a book by Hogan Rebel

The Rebel Journey by Hogan Rebel | Art-Pie

Hogan Rebel recently released his book Rebel journey: Dream-Believe-Create
, narrating the career of a dozen of famous modern rebels, and defining the founding values of the Hogan Rebel lifestyle collection.

We were asked to look closely at one of these artists, Paola Pivi, to come up with a quote for an upcoming video. You can see the video below.

Here are a few words from the artist herself –

What’s your definition of rebel?
Not a sheep, not a wolf.

Who do you consider rebel?
Somebody who creates their own system.

What’s your dream?
Freedom and peace, which I lost the day I saw somebody was about to abuse a person I love and I started a trial to try to defend him.

In what you believe?
Now that I see on my own skin how unbelievably hard it is to try to stop bad actions in other men, I respect whoever did something like this.Why man creates?To develop our brain.
