TurmKunst Checkup

A while ago I tipped you guys off about an international art project by artists Flying Förtress, Honet, Sozyone and Craig “Krink” Costello. The idea was to give one of the towers in Berlin a sweet new colour. By now the project is in full effect, and Just (from the previous post) was there to photograph it once more. Check out his photos (or just the Turmkunst ones) and awe! Turmkunst :)

Above is KR’s work, two more photos after the jump! (more…)

The Coming and Going of Atlas

L’Atlas struck once again, this time at the Oberbaumbruecke in Berlin, leaving his signature where, if it wasn’t for that bridge, might have been recognizable from outer space. It might have something to do with a group exhibition at Skalitzers Gallery (“Kiss the City”) where the Atlas shines together with Babou, Sun7 and Tanc. Just from ekosystem.org took some amaaazing pictures that are worth checking out, not to mention I just love Atlas’s style and ethics. I’ve included my 5 favourites after the jump, but you should know that there are lots more and lots better ones on the aforementioned blog. Via the Wooster Collective :) (more…)

Turm Kunst

“Turmkunst” they call it, the german words for “tower” and “art”. Honet (France), Flying Förtress (Germany), Craig “KR” Costello (US&A) and Sozyone (Spain) will be painting the outsides of this former restaurant. I’m not sure if I think the building is butt-ugly or retrofuturistic cool (some pictures of it from a worms eye view are quite cool), but I am quite certain that it could use a little touch-up. After the damage has been done, 14 international artists will exhibit their work there.

Work starts on April 4th, exhibition May 15th. If I have money I might just make the trip. God living in Europe is awesome!

The video at the top of this post just about says it all, but if you could always check out their site or Vimeo profile for more info and video. I’ve included a clear pic of the Bierpinsel after the (more…)

Crystals And Lasers

This is Matt W. Moore painting one of the most funkalicious murals, who knew triangles could ever be so exciting :D This particular piece is across the street from Since Gallery in Paris, France. Matt casually mentions it on his blog, from what I understand this was on the wall of an school on a public street. It’s part of a bigger whole, namely Matt’s very own solo exhibition at Since.

“has traveled to Paris for one month to prepare, from scratch, for his first Paris Solo-Exhibition. He arrived with no art, no supplies, and no firm plan for this new series of canvas paintings. The ideas for the artworks have actualized while processing time spent absorbing French Cult”

The adress, on a sidenote, is 211 rue Saint-Maur, going from Feb 5th till March 3rd 2010. Funky poster after the (more…)

Audrey Kawasaki in the Big Apple

It’s always nice to keep tabs on people as talented as Audrey Kawasaki. Audrey has an amazing style thats very recognizable. It looks sterile and sexy and sometimes eery or macabre and sweet and all o’ that. I’ve only had the chance to marvel at her work online, but for all the people in New York: Your time is now! The Jonathan LeVine Gallery is hosting her work in an exhibition, “Hajimari”.

Audrey Kawasaki is a Japanese-American artist, born and raised in Los Angeles, where she currently lives and works. Kawasaki’s work contains contrasting themes of innocence and eroticism, conveying the mysterious intrigue of feminine sensuality. Her sharp imagery is painted with precision onto wooden panels, the natural grain adding warmth to her enigmatic subject matter. The artist’s creative influences include eastern as well as western traditions such as Art Nouveau and Japanese Manga comics. She paints sultry, seductive and uninhibited female subjects with delicate beauty and provocative, direct eye contact. Their graceful gestures and ghost-like features carry mysterious expressions of melancholy and longing.”
