Static Born & Raised Gallery Show In York

The Art of Protest Gallery York is proud to bring Scarborough duo STATIC back to the North for their first solo exhibition in their home county. This follows exhibitions in Asia, the U.S and most recently in London.

Street artists Craig Evans and Tom Jackson have been working together under the name STATIC since 2006. Earlier this year, they were part of the UK’s leading mural festival in Bristol, Upfest; as well as joining the artistic protest in Bethlehem, ignited by the opening of the BANKSY hotel. Now for the first time in their long and successful career they have a solo exhibition in their home county of Yorkshire. During their residency in York STATIC will paint a floor mural in The Art of Protest Gallery and a wall mural at Brew York as part of the continuing public art program instigated by The Art of Protest since their opening 2 years ago.

STATIC’s studio work is created using a combination of screen printed and stencil/spray painted techniques. They also produce layered glass artworks which play with space and how a perceived 2D visuals can shift to reveal a 3D picture.

Their very first print - the Chinook Chandelier - quickly became an important motif of their work and has appeared across the world including this year’s UPFEST. They painted a mural using patterns found in their latest body of work and a 5ft stencil of the signature Chinook Chandelier.

Craig Humble, co-founder of The Art of Protest Gallery said “The exhibition, although focusing on new spray and collage work based on Modern Muses & Connexions will also work as a mini retrospective. This way the gallery can show STATIC’s journey and successes down south and around the world over the past 12 years including key signature themes, like the Chinook Chandelier which have had so much coverage in Bethlehem and Bristol.”

Jeff Clarke, the other partner of The Art of Protest Gallery, added “We love the way STATIC react to the ephemera of our everyday environments. The Connections pieces in the show started as a commission project with Network Rail where the guys have described the journey between York and Kings Cross through patches of pattern and design encountered on a specific journey.”

STATIC said: “The Chinook Chandelier has been our logo since we started working as STATIC back in 2006. It came about from us bouncing simple images and ideas back and forth between us and has appeared in many guises down the years.

“There’s two parts to it and individually they have their own meanings but when combined those associations are altered and flipped on their head. We think it’s a positive message and have always received a good response from members of the public who have seen us painting or pasting them up and we’ve always enjoyed reinventing it and reinterpreting it depending on what style or direction we’re working in.”

STATIC are also the Co-founders of a community street art project called Wood Street Walls, which uses street art to drive awareness & funding for community schemes and projects involving children and education.

While in town they will be painting 2 murals and preparing some surprises for you in the space, so stay tuned to keep up to date! Show opens Friday with preview on Thursday. Contact Craig or Jeff to RSVP for the Private View on Thursday 18th October! jeff@artofprotestgallery.com craig@artofprotestgallery.com

Zissou Tasseff-Elenkoff, owner and illustrator of the new screen-print sports art gallery, welcomes art lovers and sports fanatics to Logan Square to check out his print jerseys as well as work by three respected local artists.

All Star Press’ First Solo Exhibition “SUBCEPTION” by Lefty Out There
July 29-August 12
Getting his start in the Chicago graffiti scene 6 years ago, Lefty Out There has since expanded all over the world and into mediums such as fashion, furniture, installations, photography, and projections. Experimenting with untraditional screen-print processes, Lefty’s creations are aiming to emphasize the beauty of color, glare and reflection culminating in a showcase of limited edition screen-prints. The exhibition opens with an artists’ reception on Saturday, July 29 from 6 to 10 p.m. Subception will be available for viewing through August 12.

All Star Press Print Release with Adam Shortlidge & Kate Lewis
July-November
The gallery’s unrivaled array of sports art continues as Zissou teams up with Shortledge and Lewis for a monthly limited print release. Adam Shortlidge’s passion for vintage design will launch a “versus matchup” with a print featuring a new player vs a classic player. Kate Lewis, whose freehand drawings of architecture chronicle life experiences, will showcase a “stadium tour” as she travels to different sports arenas throughout the world through her art. The “tour” prints will be available as a collection or for purchase individually.

About All Star Press
In June 2017, Zissou Tasseff-Elenkoff opened All Star Press, Chicago’s first screen-print sports gallery and an online store.

Jeff Soto Potatostamp 15 Years of Posters Gallery Show

This Saturday Jeff Soto will be in Austin for Potatostamp: 15 Years of Posters by Jeff Soto, his first ever exhibit of prints! This show is a retrospective of his screenprinted gig posters and fine art prints from the last 15 years, and features over 60 prints on display.

A different frame of mind comes into play when creating gig posters. They are illustrative and serve as merch for the bands but they also have to invoke the spirit of the music. I enjoy the creative freedom given with gig posters and it’s fun to match the band’s music with visuals. I also enjoy the technical aspects of creating screen prints. There are size limitations, and a limited amount of colors and papers to choose from. The layering and trapping of colors, and creating halftone and gradients sometimes feel like an artistic puzzle. These technical challenges make screenprinting interesting and creatively rewarding to me.

Most of the prints will be available for purchase. There’s odd colorways and small edition prints available at the gallery. I teamed up with Volcom and Austin’s Industry Print shop for a show poster and a fine art print! We’ll also be screenprinting my design onto shirts, so bring a T!-Jeff Soto

“Potatostamp- 15 Years of Prints by Jeff Soto"
Exhibition Dates: May 27 - June 18, 2017
Opening Reception: Saturday, May 27th 6-11pm

Volcom Gardens is pleased to present Potatostamp: 15 Years of Posters by Jeff Soto in what will be his first ever retrospective of screenprinted posters. In addition, this will be Soto’s first exhibition in Texas. The exhibit consists of over 60 screen printed posters, spanning from 2002 to 2017. Many will be available for purchase, along with show and fine art editions of the “Grim Reaper” Soto’s newest print.

Dan Grzeca Top 20 Art Show At Galerie F

Dan Grzeca is a Chicago-born illustrator and printmaker. He has been screen-printing since the mid-nineties, contributing to the nascent and then burgeoning roster of Chicago Poster makers by creating a visual documentation of the Free and Improvised music being made by Ken Vandermark, The Peter Brötzmann Chicago Tentet, and Caffeine among others. He has gone on to make work for big, famous bands, but still gets the most satisfaction out of making work that ties into music produced by talented friends.

His idiosyncratic style is achieved using pencil and scratchboard drawing techniques which are then transferred to screens for multi-layered printing. Dan spends a lot of time thinking about the screen-printing process in both a painterly and stripped down way, attempting to achieve aesthetic freedom by limiting choices in the composition process. Success to him is measured by visual boldness, stark imagery, subtle color layers, and ink-stained clothing.

“Dan Grzeca’s Top 20” will highlight twenty songs, pieces of music, musicians and bands that have inspired him over the past two decades. Music is an intangible experience that unites us all by way of rhythm and an intrinsic understanding of the human experience that transcends language. It is a great challenge to bring this movement to paper but Grzeca’s work is at the pinnacle of capturing the experience. Galerie F is thrilled to be working with not only a Chicago printmaking icon but also one of the foremost gig poster designers of our time.

The exhibition opening will take place from 6 p.m. – 10 p.m. on Friday, October 28th.
Complimentary alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages provided at the opening from
Three Floyds Brewing Co., The Hop Butcher and Perrier.

Details may be found at www.GalerieF.com.

Remaining artwork will be on sale Wednesday, November 2 at 5PM CST  on GalerieF.com. This is to give attendees and in-store purchases first grabs at this artwork.

And Now For Something Completely Different The Monty Python Art Show Preview

Leeds, England is set to host a pop-up gallery exhibition in celebration of the legendary work of Monty Python. Curating the artistic tribute are Leeds independent initiative Colour+Noun, who have worked closely with the Monty Python team and a talented group of UK and Internationally based artists to host this unique event.

The event will be held at Northern Monk Brewery from Friday 27th May – Sunday 29th May with the artwork available to view at the venue until Friday 8th July. All artwork will be available for sale and features one off original pieces and small, strictly limited edition print runs.

The artists involved have taken inspiration from their favorite Monty Python moments, using scenes, quotes and characters from the Monty Python collection of films, live shows and television series to inspire their artwork. The resultant pieces showcase the infamous silly Monty Python spirit in a unique and contemporary manner.

All of the artwork is officially licensed by Python (Monty) Pictures Ltd. There is a broad range of styles and mediums available, including original works, giclées, screen prints and intaglios, featuring graphic design, illustration and typography.

Python member, Terry Gilliam said of the collaboration: “It's wonderful to see how inspired artists can make Monty Python look classy, especially after all those years of Gilliam’s second-rate work. Where was all this talent when we needed it?”.

Jess Cook, Co-Founder of Colour+Noun adds: “We feel extremely privileged to have been given the opportunity to curate and host this event. First and foremost we are huge Python fans and combining this with our passion for art has been fantastic. We can’t wait to share the brilliant array of work the artists have contributed”.

Artist and contributor to the show Graham Pilling, also shares his excitement: “The genius of Monty Python is something I've always held dear. Their wonderful imagination formed an invaluable part of my upbringing, teaching me a love for surrealism and word play, as well as the importance of tempering intelligence with good old-fashioned silliness. I'm hugely honoured to be involved in this exhibition of painstakingly hand-crafted artwork, which I hope will be praised, cherished and appreciated, before inevitably becoming future landfill or nesting material for some brightly coloured parrot”.

RISK and TAZ In “Unconventional Forces" Gallery Show

Buckshot Gallery presents, in association with Eddie Donaldson, co-founder of GuerillaOne and longtime Los Angeles art community supporter, a collaborative exhibition between acclaimed artist and printmaker TAZ and graffiti icon RISK. The gallery will showcase a selection of collaborative posters, originals and other genre related printed ephemera, created exclusively for “Unconventional Forces“.

The exhibition opens on May 14th and runs through June 4th, 2016 at Buckshot Gallery (3129 Pico Blvd.) in Santa Monica, CA. More details on the exhibit can be found online at http://www.buckshotgallery.com/

The inevitability of TAZ and RISK joining forces seems preordained. Both artists dig through the detritus left by the body of pop culture to create their own vision of the past, present and future, all of it disguised as utilitarian art. Searching the signs and signifiers of everything from surfing to speed, rock music to science fiction, the two have attacked every surface presented to them. Posters, massive street murals, musical instruments, advertisements, and every other genre-specific form of visual culture have been decorated by TAZ and RISK.

The piercing sense of passion and brand recognition that they share make their art inseparable from the world in which it finds expression. The current exhibition shows artist and writer at their most ingenious, merging art with entertainment. “Unconventional Forces” will represent the first collaboration between these two Southern California based artists.

Kelly Graval, the multi-talented fine artist, illustrator and graffiti artist known as RISK has been synonymous with the Los Angeles art community for decades. With a career spanning 30 years, Risk has solidified his place in the history books as a world renowned graffiti legend. He has come a long way since he pioneered the painting of freeway overpasses, signs and billboards, dubbed "heavens". Although Risk loves aerosol art, he sees it as merely one genre in his life's work. From his days as a student at the USC School of Fine Arts to gallery and museum exhibits around the globe, Risk has transformed from a street artist to a rising star in the contemporary art world.

Risk's works are a cross-section of color field painting, light and space conceptualism and finish fetish sensibilities. Experiential methods exploit transparent aspects of kandy and pearl paint utilizing hi-tech materials, from California car and surf culture while staying true to his adaptive graffiti roots, recycling or re-purposing materials all the same. Risk's work is a constant juxtaposition of advanced color theory. The work depicts an ethereal Yin and Yang quality visually and conceptually.

Risk applies paint to his surfaces in multiple layers of various techniques starting with graffiti and ending with fine sprayed lacquer or resins over vintage candy, metal flake and pearl car paints. The finished product evokes emotion as the coats of atmospheric colors and gradations are trapped between the layers of lacquers and pearls. The end result is a dynamic, well-balanced and organized chaos.

Billy Perkins Rock Poster Art Show

Billy Perkins is having his first solo show in 8 years opens in Houston this Saturday! This one is a really big deal to him also.

I'll let Billy tell you why it's so important:

Why is it such a big deal? First, its going to be HUGE. Spring Street Gallery is an enormous warehouse. It's a retrospective show, and therefore features MANY prints that I pulled from the personal vaults - lots of rarities and popular prints that have been sold out for years, and EVERYTHING is for sale. Some of these are literally my last copies that I have to sell.

The size of the space allows us to showcase 10' tall reproductions of some of my Perkins '77 images (NFS). These require a large space to be displayed, and haven't been seen since they graced the store windows of John Varvatos stores. It's unlikely they'll be seen again anytime soon.

It's also only my second-ever solo show - the last one was in 2008, so lots of new work has been done since then. After this show, many prints will no longer be available. If there's something specific you're interested in, contact Ann Brooks at Black Swan Screen Printing - (713) 863-0200.

Limited edition prints of this show poster will also be available. It's 20x30, and screen printed by hand at Black Swan Screen Printing.
