The Yok & Sheyro Exhibition
Tonight sees the opening of a joint exhibition by Sheryo And The Yok entitled ‘Pipe Dreams’ at Krause Gallery, NYC.
‘While previously seen in group exhibitions, Pipe Dreams marks their first solo show in the United States since establishing the city as their primary residence last year. Working with varying painting techniques, the artists have culled together collaborative pieces that represent their shared life together. From their nomadic travels the past year to in-jokes with their friends in New York, the Yok and Sheryo seamlessly combine their adventures into every detail of their work. For example, their hand painted vases combine eastern & western elements to portray the values of ideology, devotion, relationships, dharma and karma, depicting a narrative from the rich tales of their journey.’

The London Police at Stolen Space
This Thursday Stolen Space will be playing host to the first TLP solo show in England since 2009.
‘It’s All Fun and Games Until Someone Gets Hurt’ sees the duo produce a slick show of considered artworks and designer sport products. ‘Alongside canvas originals, TLP has produced an exclusive range of limited edition, designer pool cues and hand drawn cricket bats. The games theme continues with a unique painted vintage Monopoly board and photography from TLP’s city-wide Monopoly Street Art installations in London. Attendees at the private view will also have a chance to try their hand at a lucky dip and win prizes by competing on a handmade, wooden, ball-bearing maze game. Four of these very limited edition games will also be for sale.’

Wider Than a Postcard & bonita bonita
Breeze Block Gallery presents: WIDER THAN A POSTCARD
A group exhibition curated by Sven Davis
Over 200 artists have been invited to produce up to 3 works each based on the traditional postcard format. The surface can be an antique postcard – either from a thrift store or maybe even from the family archive, a new shop-bought card or a home-made postcard on each artists chosen medium to the 6×4 inch size limit imposed. Each postcard can either start as a blank canvas or the new composition can be woven into the existing image on the card. The artworks are to be displayed in a grid formation to create an holistic installation of more than 400 individual artworks.
The exhibition opens Thursday 2nd May 2013 6pm, with a preview evening on Wednesday 1st May 2013 6pm alongside olive47’s solo exhibition in Gallery 2 ‘bonita bonita’. olive47’s bold use of color operates at a visceral level and activates an emotional response to the saturation throughout the body of work as a cerebral communication device. bonita bonita will contain paintings on wood panels presented individually, as assemblages and also combined within mixed media installations.

Billy – Still Life
Following the colour chaos of ‘Gossip Calypso’ as part of this years Pictoplasma Character Walk, Billy steps out of the whirl and continues with the second phase of her residency at the HUBstore Berlin with her new exhibition ‘Still Life’.
With a hint of sarcasm, Billy presents her own light-hearted still life installation capturing a positive moment in time. It is a visual exploration on growth and trends depicting how life is anything but still. That is until some objects are placed on a table, arranged in a fun and interesting way and multiple drawings and paintings are made of them and eventually stuck on the wall for people to look at and enjoy.
Join Billy for her third solo show in the year 2013 as she recognises that there is always too much to do and real life never ever stays still.
Opens Friday 3rd of May and runs until 25th May
Opening night: 18:00 to 22:00

Pedro Matos at Martha Otero
Pedros Matos’ first LA exhibition ‘Building Castles Made of Sand’ opens on 17th May at Martha Otero Gallery.
The exhibition will feature a new series of oil paintings on canvas and azulejo panels – a traditional Portuguese medium of hand-painted, tin-glazed ceramic tile work. It runs until June 15th and is definitely worth checking out to see his unique style of work made up of layering and the huge variety of textures and mediums he works with.
