JonOne Solo Show at The Magda Danysz Gallery

JonOne Solo Show

From 27 November, 2010 to 24 December, 2010
Opening 27 November, 2010 from 6pm to 9pm

The Magda Danysz Gallery is happy to present the JonOne’s new works, from November 27th till December 24th, 2010. His everlasting support to street art is once again made clear, through this exhibition.Originally from Harlem, JonOne started tagging on the subways of New York when he was seventeen years old. He is a founding member of the bronx born American taggers group 156 crew. The orientation of his style towards abstraction has contributed to making him a well rounded artist and this in a very short span of time. His artistic qualities, particularly the affluence of his works and his multidisciplinarity, have brought him international fame. He was exposed in the Palais de Tokyo in 2003 and in cities such as Monaco, Brussels, Berlin and New York. JonOne also showed a monumental piece of work in the exhibition Né dans la rue in 2009 in the Cartier foundation for contemporary art and completed art, a unique performance during the Paris Art Fair in March, 2009.

The work of JonOne stands out thanks to the uniqueness of his style. This extremely productive artist creates abstract works full of life and energy. This admirer of memorable painters such as Pollock or Kandinsky has inspired himself from popular culture, to create works characterized by excitement and the color movement. These great works go beyond aestheticism and suggest a message, as the artist says "I wanted to show through my work the anger, the frustration, and the faith inside me when I made them. It is probably the meaning of all these colors ".

JonOne has no limits, his painting takes up all the space given to him, his colors are rich and lively, forms get entangled with each other, release themselves, bend then become rigid. He renews his style in each of work. In this exhibition, his work becomes more abstract, he is taking a new direction. He says "motion is the most important thing". JonOne’s work is guided by this and appears rarer and more significant than before. He releases himself by painting. This is what confers to JonOne’s style the particularity of being one of the most personal ones of his generation.

Carl Krull "Telescope" solo Exhibition at V1 Gallery

V1 GALLERY PROUDLY PRESENTS

TELESCOPE
A SOLO EXHIBTION BY CARL KRULL

RECEPTION: FRIDAY NOVEMBER 26. TIME: 17.00 – 22.00
EXHIBITION PERIOD: NOVEMBER 27. – DECEMBER 23. 2010

It is a great pleasure to present Carl Krull’s (DK) first solo exhibition Telescope at V1 Gallery in Copenhagen. Due to his classical education, partly derived from Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow and the San Carlos Academy of Fine Arts in Mexico City, Krull has a quite distinctive style on the contemporary Danish art scene, which is clearly revealed by his efficient fine line.

Telescope is based on a number of works revolving around the classical media of the drawing: pencil on paper, watercolors, animations and process recordings. The figurative scenes displayed in the works are many and absurd, funny and classical – from anatomy drawings in the style of Leonardo da Vincis to samurai-like characters decorated with rings in the nipples, swords, and chains resembling human guts in compact compositions. The human body is often the center of Krull’s depictions, complemented by architectural structures – both contemporary and more retrospective structures, and often they are surrounded by an atmosphere of utopia. Heads are cut off, some opened with the brain visible, others blindfolded, laughing, peeled with no eyeballs, and some completely exposed as bare skulls.

The past decade Carl Krull has explored the digital media, with the practice of animation, ‘time-drawing’ and direct documentation of work processes as the center of attention. Thus, the prime focal point of his oeuvre has been the process itself, and thus no longer solely the finished work on paper or a panel. The exposure of his work processes should not be perceived as a presentation of a workflow, but moreover as an element, an additional layer in the finished work. Thus, the artist’s oeuvre can seem transparent, but the drawings are in flux and in a constant change. This is what Krull invites the viewer to learn through his unfolding of the process – that the ‘finished’ work is always unfinished and in a perpetual motion.

Carl Krull (b. 1975) has enjoyed international recognition, amongst other places in Japan where he both won a prize at Hokkaido Comics competition and was selected for the Art Studio Itsukaichi Residence Program in Tokyo. He has also been awarded the Diesel New Art Prize in 2005 for best moving art. He has exhibited world wide, this year amongst other places at Museo del Caribe, Colombia, Allmänna Gallery in Stockholm and Gallery DYO in Cyprus. In 2011 ARoS will show him in a comprehensive three-persons exhibition in Aarhus.

Katherine Bernhardt "Hot Pop Time Machine" solo Exhibition at V1 Gallery

V1 GALLERY PROUDLY PRESENTS

HOT POP TIME MACHINE
A SOLO EXHIBITION BY KATHERINE BERNHARDT

RECEPTION: FRIDAY NOVEMBER 26. TIME: 17.00 – 22.00
EXHIBITION PERIOD: NOVEMBER 27. – DECEMBER 23. 2010

It is our great pleasure to invite you on a trip back to the future in Katherine Bernhardt’s Hot Pop Time Machine. Bernhardt paints her obsessions in a fast and furious expressionistic style. A style that pays tribute to various expressionistic styles, from abstract over neo to German expressionism, but also a style that carries a distinct energy informed by pop, punk and the pace of contemporary New York City.

In Hot Pop Time Machine Bernhardt travels back to explore the pop iconography of the Swatch watch as a timepiece in more than one regard. As she explains:

“Remembering wearing 4 or 5 watches on my arm at once in junior high school. Going to Dillards on the weekend with my friends to look at the swatch counter. Ooohhh and ahhhah-ing at the counter. Memorizing the names of the watches. Califati, Pinstripe, Hang Twelve, la Luna di Capri, Pink Betty, Compu-tech, Pink Flamingo, Squiggles, Osiris, Horus and Break-dance. The concept of time. Living. Tick tock, not enough time in the day, rushing, calming down, speeding up, organizing, taking time out of the day, not wasting time, aging, inner time, internal time, personal time, private time. The death of Michael Jackson. Swatch watch is a pop phenomenon. And I Heart swatch.”

Another recurring theme in Bernhardt’s work is super models and celebrity pop culture. Beyoncé, Rhianna, Kate Moss and Giselle stare at us from large canvases. Removed from their original setting on the front of glossy magazines and without the Photo-shopped perfect skin and bodies, the women appear almost human again. Bernhardt’s compelling portraits are fragile and powerful at once, the emperor has no clothes on and only the essence remains. At the same time the portraits also seem to offer a journey into the state of mind and mood of their creator.

A final element in Hot Pop Time Machine is the Moroccan rug paintings. As the Dude from Coen Brothers seminal movie The Big Lebowski would say: “yeah man, that rug really tied the room together”. The same goes for Bernhardt’s Moroccan rug paintings, they tie together Bernhardt’s exhibition and practice. Traditionally Moroccan rugs were woven to portray an event that happened, to tell of dangers, ward of evil or to mimic a landscape. They are full of symbols and symbolism. Katherine Bernhardt’s work is woven from a modern fabric and tells tales of contemporary culture.

After receiving her Master of Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts in New York in 2000, Katherine Bernhardt, born 1975, has exhibited extensively around the word, including shows at the following venues; Canada Gallery in New York, New York Minute at Macro (Museum of Contemporary Art) in Rome, Suzanne Tarasieve in Paris, Patricia Low in Geneva, Saatchi Collection in London and Team Gallery in New York. Her work has received praise in The Village Voice, New York Times and Interview Magazine. Hot Pop Time Machine is Bernhardt’s first solo show with V1 Gallery.

44flavours "By guess & by gosh" at Neonchocolate Gallery

Mark your calendars people! On the 27th of November, at 7 PM, the 44flavours collective – aka Sebastian Bagge and Julio Rölle – will celebrate the opening of their exhibit at the Neonchocolate Gallery in Berlin. The show will run till Decemeber 4th and will feature small format pieces made with a variety of techniques: drawings, collages, screen prints etc. Don't miss it!

44flavours is an art collective based in Kreuzberg - Berlin, consisting of Sebastian Bagge and Julio Rölle. Their work showcases a high level of knowledge of the diverse fields of art, by incorporating and rearranging them to bring their own visions to life. Growing up with graffiti and the derivative sample and remix culture of hip-hop, both artists developed their individual styles without the implicit limits of any specific medium - instead they exploited multiple media to support and best express their ideas and tastes at the moment of creation.


44flavours is not only synonymous with the strangely beautiful exhibitions, which frequently sprout up all over Europe, but also with a cutting edge Design Studio, which focuses on a very broad scope of graphic design, illustration and typography. 44flavours is still evolving in an environment of unlimited freedom and creativity. Their studio activity is dedicated to pushing skill, craft and conceptual knowledge to their ever widening limits.

PT and Jessi Cat "Nice Piece of Art" at China Heights Gallery

China Heights is excited to present 'Nice Piece of Art', a collaborative exhibition between PT and Jessi Cat, featuring works which are heavily influenced by pop-art, cartoons, comics, the traditions of graffiti and the female form.

Sharing a common belief that every artist or graffiti writer has their own style akin to their own personality, and the ability to remain literal rather than conceptual, PT and Jessi Cat have created a bold series of works using predominantly spray paint and acrylic paint on canvas, and pencil on paper.



By combining traditional graffiti art and cartoon illustration, and admiration of artists such as John Kricfalusi, Shane Gline, Coop and Ralph Bakshi, the pair have developed a set of intrepid, lustrous pin up girls which are entirely unique, and represent each of their distinct styles as artists.



The works, relating completely to the lives of exotic dancers, attempt to capture the personality inside a woman who would, at first glance, be seen only as an object of sex. A kaleidoscopic mix of tropical and cool colours masks the dark and sinister underlying notions of what these woman are really about, and the reality of their own existence.

Carhartt / Brown Duck

Duck fabric, commonly called canvas, has been the characteristic material of Carhartt clothes for more than 120 years. Duck canvas is a heavy, plain-woven cotton fabric; the threads criss-cross each other to form a simple checkerboard pattern. This weave is both easy to construct and strong, especially when made with heavyweight threads. The term Duck is the English derivation of the Dutch word Doek, which originally meant linen canvas. All Carhartt canvas garments and accessories are made from 100% heavyweight cotton canvas and gain character with every day of use.


The term Brown Duck also is a synonym for Carhartt Brown, which means the classic, highly recognisable Brown of the duck fabric Carhartt has used since the early days. You can find our distinctive Brown Duck in the Heritage line, the US-Imports, on classic pieces of the Fall / Winter collection as well as on special items like the Carhartt x UDG Bag and in our latest venture with A.P.C. As a tribute to Carhartt Brown Duck we esta- blished the new Brown Duck patch last season that you can find on our Duck Polo as well as on the Duck Sweater.

SAN "Aurea Mediocritas" solo show at The Don Gallery

SAN

"Aurea Mediocritas"

Opening November 25th 2010 till January 22nd 2011

The Don Gallery presents the first Italian solo show by Daniel Muñoz, also known as "SAN" (Caceres, Spain 1980). In recent years the artist has developed a solid career in different fields, moving between painting, drawing, and murals.

This exhibition presents us to a new formal analysis of his career: A series of works on paper which indicate an aesthetic change since his last solo exhibition ( Iguapop Gallery, Barcelona 2009), and a new approach to the categories that shape his work. "A hinge between painted-drawing and drawn-painting."

Ignoring the reoccurring problem of mediums, the sociopolitical speech and aesthetic mannerisms of the scene that defines his generation, the artist presents "AUREA MEDIOCRITAS" as a collection of reflections on the myths rooted in the world of art and its surroundings, providing a scathing critique while remaining open at the same time.

The most common, obvious situations and attitudes in the life of an artist are a source of constant analysis for the artist: a battlefield where there are no fatal losses, nor glorious victories.

Galleria
 Patricia
 Armocida
 of
 Milan
 is
 proud
 to
 present
 Time
 Before
 Time,
 the
 first
 solo
 exhibit
 in Italy
 by
 Matt
 Leines,
 opening
 on
 November
 25th
 at
 6:30
 PM.

This
 exhibit
 embodies
 a
 dialogue
 between
 Leines’
 new
 and
 old
 works,
 documenting
 his
 artistic development
 in
 the
 past
 5
 years.

Matt
 Leines’
 images
 depict
 the
 culture
 and
 conflicts
 of
 a
 parallel
 universe
 which
 he
 has
 created,
 he invents
 members
 of
 castes
 which
 populate
 his
 mind
 and
 the
 scenes
 that
 act
 as
 backdrops.
 The
 artist views
 himself
 as
 a
 member
 of
 this
 world
 of
 outsiders
 where
 he
 plays
 the
 role
 of
 both
 creator
 and narrator.
 His
 crisp,
 meticulous
 lines
 evoke
 a
 primitive
 yet
 undeniably
 modern
 esthetic
 spanning
 from the
 Byzantine
 era
 to
 the
 1970s
 futuristic
 style.
 These
 elements
 communicate
 a
 sense
 of
 marvel,
 a
 desire to
 explore
 these
 worlds
 which
 seem
 familiar
 but
 in
 reality
 are
 entirely
 new
 and
 unknown.

His
 earlier
 works
 consist
 of
 never-before-seen
 drawings
 and
 sketches
 in
 ink
 and
 watercolors.
 The subjects
 are
 warriors,
 sailors,
 and
 ferocious
 beasts;
 the
 geometric
 precision
 of
 beards,
 hair,
 and buildings
 creates
 intricate
 images
 that
 are
 reminiscent
 of
 ritual
 masks
 and
 costumes.
 Even
 in
 his
 large- scale
 works,
 the
 decorative
 details
 remain
 miniscule,
 as
 if
 the
 only
 reason
 to
 create
 larger
 works
 were to
 give
 more
 space
 to
 the
 details.

In
 his
 new
 body
 of
 work,
 Leines
 returns
 to
 acrylic
 paint
 on
 wood
 with
 a
 range
 of
 more
 refined
 hues and
 freer
 use
 of
 color,
 without
 abandoning
 the
 meticulous
 fine
 lines
 which
 characterize
 his
 works. These
 portraits,
 the
 first
 in
 a
 series
 bound
 to
 expand,
 reveal
 not
 only
 an
 evolution
 in
 technique
 but also
 an
 evolution
 in
 the
 characters
 which
 inhabit
 Matt’s
 imagination.

Matt
 Leines
 was
 born
 in
 1980
 in
 New
 Jersey,
 he
 lives
 and
 works
 Philadelphia.
 After
 graduating
 from Rhode
 Island
 School
 of
 Design,
 he
 stood
 out

 one
 of
 the
 most

Short, Sharp & Sweet: group exhibition at Green-Wood Gallery

Ben Frost, Doug Bartlett, Johanne8
group exhibition

25 November – 5 December 2010
Opening: Thursday 25 November 2010, 6-8pm

Ram the doors, get in quick, pack a punch, leg it down the back stairs

10 days/4 artists/no-holds barred original artworks of pop and neo-expressionism scented with eau de la Lichtenstein, Basquiat, graffiti and comic book imagery.

Green-Wood Gallery showcases again the artworks of enfant terrible Sydneysider Ben Frost, Victoria's Dave Bowers and Nick Morris (aka the painting duo 'Doug Bartlett') and for the first time in Australia, France's Johanne8.

Ben Frost "There is duplicity where cuteness and evil coexist behind the saccharine façade of a comic-book character or a much loved fast food restaurant. I am reflecting a world in trouble, a heaving dying fur-seal of an earth that is being repeatedly clubbed with baton-sized television remote controls. The drips that melt down the canvas are nods to an immense self-destructing machine made up of endless icons, logos and expressions that are the infected medical waste of the 21st century. At first it is a feeling of wanting to express this consumerist, pop-culture Armageddon that we are a part of, but I realize I have no choice, as, like you I have been given the responsibility of its maintenance and I never flipped through the instruction book (if there ever was one). Any second now, any second now - we'll all wake up."


Doug Bartlett The 'Self Portrait Red' by Doug Bartlett was a finalist in this year's coveted as well as lucrative Doug Moran Art Prize and recently completed Hoodoo Guru's artwork for their new album 'Purity of Essence'. Doug Bartlett is the name given to the energy created when Nick Morris and Dave Bowers work together on the same canvas.


Johanne8 Born 1974, Paris-based Johanne8 is an emerging artist considered to be a rising figure in the French urban/pop/graffiti art scene.

Rita Ackermann and Harmony Korine "Shadow Fux" at The Swiss Institute

Shadow Fux

Opening: Tuesday, November 23 at 6 PM
November 23 2010 - January 22 2011

Swiss Institute is proud to present the first exhibition of the collaborative work of New York artist Rita Ackermann and Nashville based director Harmony Korine. The show consists of large-scale paintings on vinyl and canvas, several drawings as well as two films, creating a grand presentation with dissonant overtones.

Renowned for seminal works in the respective mediums of film and painting, Harmony Korine and Rita Ackermann meet and overlap with their shared interest in unorthodox and mischievous beauty. Central to the praxis of both is the creation of psychologically jarring figures, whose presence is further enhanced by fragmented narratives.

Shadow Fux, the artists’ first collaborative presentation aims to create a veritable alien, who stalks the viewer from the fringe of the exhibition space. Taking the recent film Trash Humpers (2009) as its point of departure, the exhibition features large scale works in which Ackermann and Korine have collaged, painted, and drawn over stills of the film’s beguiling young bodies with old faces. Produced in a call and response method, the collaboration illustrates the importance of cutting to both artists’ works. Editing and splicing, Ackermann and Korine insert absurdist moments into narrative tropes, subverting plotlines and ultimately defying our expectations towards story telling. Bmxhex (2010), a towering collage, is composed of two scenes––a redheaded half-figure standing on an abandoned mattress, and, grafted onto it, a quarreler sitting on a BMX, ready to take off. The composition is a phantom for the split personality, which runs throughout the show.


The eerie paintings and their filmic complements are an unyielding monument to the freak, the hysteric, the rake, and the eccentric. In the painting, sekret clubs(2010), a family of coquettish elders emerges from a thick coat of paint, which has been scraped down, reworked, and built up again. This rising ruin finds similarity in an adjacent film,POTS AND PANS(2010), a never before screened work of Korine that documents a deaf Cuban family as they bang on pots in a boozy scene. The lunatic beats ricochet throughout the gallery, while remaining unheard by the players themselves.

OPENING RECEPTION: November 20, 6-9PM
Brooklynite Gallery

Long before the emergence of Brooklynite Gallery, owner and curator Rae McGrath was constructing artwork of his own in many forms. Schooled in Fine Arts, raised immersed in the graffiti/breakdance culture of the 80's and holding down a diverse range of blue collar jobs, has allowed Rae to create an eclectic range of visuals for an exhibition aptly titled "Unconventional Conviction".



Over the years Rae has spent countless hours on the streets of New York City and other parts of the world, engaging then photographing the everyday person. Usually drawn to the elderly or youth--- because of their experiences or lack thereof, Rae often finds similarities to his own life, connecting the dots through his grainy black and white photos which are then hand-painted or silk-screened into pieces that include block text and hand-drawn areas. The second part to Rae's work involves the gathering and transformation of found objects--- namely hundreds of brightly colored plastic laundry detergent bottles. Spending ample time in and around laundromat dumpsters throughout Brooklyn, Rae has amassed quite a collection of these bottles which he then dissects, using cutting techniques once learned while working as a deli worker and butcher. In the end his tales are told on top of mosaic patterns full of vibrant colors and textual information.


For Rae, the vivid and hopeful Pop Art color schemes and graphic detail of the laundry bottles prove to be the perfect juxtaposition to his own urban Brooklyn upbringing and the countless cast of characters of his youthful blue collar existence. In the end, Rae uses these dynamic combinations to his advantage creating rich and strange alternate realities.
