      “INTEMPERIE” by David de la Mano in Paris, France

      by

      On the occasion of his second solo exhibition in Paris, David de la Mano has recently painted a mural on the facade of Galerie Itinerrance. The exhibition “Intemperie” is currently on view at Galerie Itinerrance until the 30th of June.Spanish painter and sculptor David de la Mano has adorned the world’s streets with monochromatic, outsized murals exploring the relationships that humans have with each other, as well as their wider environment. The artist experiments with different techniques among which acrylics, watercolours, ink and collage.His large-scale, black and white pieces provoke reactions among the viewers and encourage their emotions and ideas through a minimalist aesthetic.David observes others and their social or anti-social behaviour, exploring every corner of social behaviour in his practice, using silhouettes of men, women, or the masses as narrative metaphors. Through these figures, he gives poetic visions of the human condition in society and the ways human perceive the world.Check out below for more photos of “INTEMPERIE” More

      Coverage: “Earth Vessel” Solo Exhibition by Andrew Schoultz at Volery Gallery, Dubai

      by

      Last May 27th, Volery Gallery opened Earth Vessel, Andrew Schoultz’s first solo exhibition and representation in the Gulf region. The exhibition explores the symbolic and literal meaning of an earth vessel as a metaphor for the human’s existence and body. Reflecting on the fact that maintaining physical and mental health leads to balance, while balance allows us to be present resulting in a positive effect on our surroundings.Schoultz has a visual approach to social and political commentary. His enormous murals, paintings, installations and sculptures are heavily patterned, creating an intense and mesmerising vision of current events. Earth Vessel exhibition will run until 22 June 2021.With nine new artworks on view, Schoultz raises questions about what vessels as mortal human bodies contain physically, mentally, subconsciously and spiritually and how they are affected by external factors. The duality of the motifs he uses in his work reflects on the way opposites exist simultaneously in the universe around us. He captures the results of balancing these opposites as well as the consequences of losing that stability. Through reoccurring symbols in his works, Schoultz leaves the meaning open for interpretation by the viewer. His optical and abstract shapes where lines of overheated reds and yellows intersect with the vivid blues and greens call the viewer to contemplate what is meant to be felt rather than seen.Take a look below for more images of the exhibition and its opening night.

      “…Back to school, Mickey Mouse!” by OZMO in Savona, Italy

      by

      Urban artist OZMO just created a mural on the facade of the Istituto Comprensivo delle Albisole. The project was conceived by the Councilor for Culture and Education Simona Poggi and was created with the fundamental contribution of the A. De Mari.With this mural, Albisola confirms itself once again as a city that welcomes and develops languages from contemporary art. Over the years, in fact, the Ligurian town has been a privileged meeting place between tradition and avant-garde, a fundamental destination for great artists of the twentieth century.In “..Back to school, Mickey Mouse!”, The classical sculpture of a woman, absorbed in reading, is painted between two putti. On the one hand, that of the Verrocchio appears intent on reaching something and with his posture encourages us to look different perspectives; on the other, that of Canova, takes on the appearance of a Mickey Mouse with an unusual smile, causing wonder and estrangement.Born in Pontedera, Pisa, Ozmo made his first steps in the comics world, but since early 90s he soon moved his focus on writing and painting. In short time his tag would have become one of the most famous and respected ones in the Italian graffiti scene. A special reportage dedicated to Ozmo on ‘Aelle’ – the most famous urban culture underground mag in Italy – will consacrate him as one of the leading figure in the national underground writing scene.The way Ozmo is combining painterly elements like figures, shapes, colors and the way the composition is being constructed suggest how thorough is the artist’s approach. References from popular culture, art history, and politics that are wisely appropriated contribute largely to both seriousness and humor of his works, as well as to their contemporaneity.Check out below to see more photos of “…Back to school, Mickey Mouse!” More

      “Summer Buckets” Limited drop by Sen2 Figueroa x POINT3!

      by

      POINT3! in collaboration with NY-based artist Sen2 Figueroa, just released a new collection that includes a pair of shorts and compression sleeve.The concept behind this collection is Sen2’s artistic nature closely related to fashion. For him, fashion and art are the perfect blend of creativity, ingenuity and risk. Each garment has a unique quality to it. Inspired by Sen2 abstract graffiti and pop art style, the collection conveys an intricate balance of lines, color, writing and strong gestural movements combined into one single composition. Sandro Figueroa Garcia, artistically known as Sen2 Figueroa was born in 1969. He grew up in Canteras, a neighborhood of Santurce, Puerto Rico.In the 1980’s his fascination with graffiti, color and letter forms took a hold of Sen2’s dreams. He chased his dreams to the streets of New York. Here he began to cultivate his love for urban art, creating graffiti murals and commercial work, but his vision was broader. It was at this point in his life that he met and joined the most famous graffiti crew ever assembled in the world to date: Tats Cru.Sen2 evolved from spray painting wild-style pieces to developing mixed media works on canvases. He moved from classical New York graffiti art to a combination of graphic lettering styles with 3-D elements, imagery of pop art, and abstract art techniques.Check out below for more images from the limited drop.

      “Limited Edition ALPINE 110S” by Felipe Pantone

      by

      It is on the side-lines of the Monaco F1 Grand Prix that Alpine unveils an exceptional A110 designed by Argentinian artist Felipe Pantone. The continuity of a collaboration initiated in April with the artist.In the unique and prestigious setting of Monaco, Alpine and Felipe Pantone present the result of a second collaboration. This new association follows the work “Alpine F1 x Felipe Pantone” presented a few weeks ago. Felipe Pantone then delivered his artistic interpretation of Formula 1 with Alpine on a 1/2 scale model exhibited on the first floor of the Atelier Renault dedicated to Alpine.The collaboration between Alpine and Felipe Pantone is taking a new step today with a work on the Alpine A110, the brand’s iconic model. Before tackling this project, Felipe Pantone spent long hours studying the brand, its history and of course driving an Alpine A110 to feel the unique personality of the French sports coupe. The result is a modern, dynamic and elegant interpretation of the A110. The graphic lines follow the shape of the A110 and give an impression of speed even when the car stands still. It also features the signature colours of Felipe Pantone, black and white.The paint job on the body, carried out entirely by hand by the artist, represents several weeks of work. For even more exclusivity, each of the three models offered for sale will feature subtle graphic variations to make each of these A110s a unique piece.“My idea regarding the work on the A110 is to evoke a sense of “ultradynamism”. Visual speed is something that I have been investigating for years now and that I feel it really comes together on this car, emphasizing it’s brilliant design with a fast, technological look” – Felipe Pantone Through this second collaboration with Alpine, Felipe Pantone once again demonstrates the extent of his talent. The creative work and its execution are exceptional. The colour schemes, geometric shapes and optical effects reveal the A110 in a new light, with a heightened sense of movement. This work results in a modern, dynamic and captivating work of art,said Cédric Journel, Vice President Sales and Marketing, Alpine.This Alpine A110 designed by Felipe Pantone is based on an A110S, the most potent version in the A110 range developing 292 horsepower.Each of the three A110s will be on sale at a price of 125,000 euros including tax.Approved for road circulation, these unique works of art are aimed more at collectors and lovers of beautiful objects than at track fans. The conditions of access to acquire one of the three works will be communicated later.Check out below to view more of “Alpine A110”. More

      “I & the ME” Group Exhibition at THE SHOPHOUSE in Hong Kong

      by

      THE SHOPHOUSE gallery in Hong Kong is pleased to present group exhibition “I & the ME” by Anders Lindseth, Iabadiou Piko, Josh Reames,  Julian Watts, Kour Pour, Mahsa Tehrani, Osamu Kobayashi, Yves Scherer and Zhang Ji. Participating artists are invited to create two works, one representing “I”, the subjective side of the artists evaluating themselves. Another piece about “Me” – the objective side of themselves shaped by the market, exploring how artists rover around today’s art world.The exhibition is inspired by late 1800’s sociologist George Herbert Mead’s theory of self. Mead believes that the self is formed by the dynamic relations between the “I” and the “ME”. The “ME” is the others’ perspectives on ourselves – the “Objective part of self”. The “I” is the part of us that responds to these attitudes – the “Subjective part of self”.“The art world has radically transformed in the past thirty years, turning into a multibillion-dollar international industry. Artists and their career are becoming commanded by the market system, often packaged as a celebrity with unceasing output for the growing demand in consumer culture, sought after as profit generators of the commercial powerhouse. Would artists be affected in expressing themselves under such influence?”Scroll down below to view more photos from “I & the ME” exhibition. More
