Paul Insect – Allouche Gallery – Interview

Allouche Gallery, NYC, is pleased to present, PAUL INSECT: 2033, Original Works Created in 2014, on December 13th.

Paul Insect is known for his unique and individual sharp-edged images, which draws from the absurdism of Dada and is combined with the sleekness of modernism, yielding surreal renderings that point playfully at the deep dark underbelly of adult life. In the 1990s, Insect became known for his witty stencil and spray painted works, before transitioning to the gallery scene with color-drenched canvases, which teetered precariously between tradition and something far more messed up.

Braddock Tiles – NEW PRINTS!

New York-based artist, Swoon, also has a project called Braddock Tiles.

To help raise money for the project, they also release super affordable prints. This latest killer set includes work from Shepard Fairey, Molly Crabapple, Ricky Powell, Pablo Power, Shelter Serra, Kenzo Minami, Vexta and Swoon herself.

SWEET TOOF “DERAILED” – Opening Reception 12.12.14

Theres no real way to avoid the imagery SWEET TOOF presents to the public. The average citizen stops to observe just as intensely as the dedicated street photographer. His bright, colorful iconography is unmistakable. Strangely seductive, cartoon skulls grin malevolently from ear to ear, while disembodied floating gums appear seemingly in the hundreds all over the urban landscape, everything consistently overflowing with toothy turmoil. From site specific street graffiti and large scale murals to blanketing the abandoned structures of the city, his artistic presence is highly prolific, spanning several countries.

Jameson Works x Wild Beasts

The Jameson Works is about sharing the stories behind modern craft, and spreading the knowledge of how great craftsmen work today. For our first project, Wild Beasts get together with Parisian illustrator and animator Mattis Dovier to create a GIF-novel.

Mattis worked on the visuals for the GIF-novel, which will be accompanied by two unreleased Wild Beasts tracks. This is the story behind their making – creating GIFs and remixing the tracks ‘Soft Future’ and ‘Blood Knowledge’, which Wild Beasts have taken apart and reformed into a soundtrack. The guys will show that it’s not just what you make, it’s how you make it.
