Complex: “I Never Let The Kid Inside Me Die”: In Conversation With CHITO, Givenchy & Supreme Collaborative Artist

The Seattle-born artist’s instantly recognisable form of self-expression is his airbrushed dog illustrations, which he uses in his work to erase the stigma of the graffiti scenes he grew up in. Completely self-taught, CHITO’s repeated dedication to his motifs have become his own hallmark style, with a set of characters that you’ll no doubt have seen grace your Instagram feed over the last five years.

Juxtapose: The “Sorayama Explosion” is Coming to Tokyo

Sorayama continues to receive respect from creators and artists across the world as the godfather of realistic expression thorough his use of the airbrush technique. His 1983 publication “SEXY ROBOT” had generously described the process of painting robots through a series of graphic explanations, and has since been distributed and referenced as a textbook in various art schools throughout the globe. As a result, the influences of Sorayama’s works extend far beyond the boundaries of Japan’s commercial art scene, presenting an impact on a diverse array of media from Hollywood films, the world’s street art and to the realm of

Forbes: New York Street and Installation Artist Swoon Uses Humanity as Her Most Powerful Tool

Street and installation artist Swoon, aka Caledonia Dance Curry (b. 1977) takes much pride in subverting expectations, from the art world and otherwise. “It’s not like I don’t do things because I’m worried that they would be perceived as normal,” says Swoon. “Sometimes in life you are born feeling like a bit of an outsider. When that happens you realize that you have to kind of cut your own path in life.” Read the full article here https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamlehrer/2016/02/13/new-york-street-and-installation-artist-swoon-uses-humanity-as-her-most-powerful-tool/?sh=6b67e2284c16

The Art Newspaper: ‘I painted and painted and painted, and I refound myself’: Sharon Stone on her first solo show

On a cold and stormy night earlier this month in Los Angeles, heavy rain pelted the streets outside while a small mob crowded into Allouche Gallery. Heads were craning about to see the creator of the large paintings hanging on the walls—many of them landscapes verging on abstraction, and rather moody themselves. The artist, actor Sharon Stone, was holding court in the gallery’s first room, a striking figure in a black suit accented with gatherings of magenta ruffles.The show, Shedding (until 7 April), is the first solo gallery exhibition for Stone, who took up painting—in an almost feverish way—during Covid-19 lockdowns. The title references all kinds of

The New York Times: Gaetano Pesce: ‘One-of-a-Kind Iconic Works, 1967-2015’

At Gaetano Pesce‘s solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in 1979, his cartoonish, riotously colored lamps, vases, chairs and drawings dealt a body blow to the sleek Modernist Bauhaus objects enshrined in the museum’s vitrines. To judge by the generous showof 90 objects and drawings at the Allouche Gallery in SoHo, this Italian iconoclast has expanded his irreverent critique, humanizing the domestic landscape with even more sass, color and social comment. The many octopus vases, centipede tables, rag chairs and lamps with ears — all cast in resins that bounce when dropped — amount to a mini career retrospective of

Paper Magazine: Ben Evans Is Feeling Blessed

The Pratt alum continues to rebel with color and camp through his painting practice. These days he has a much more receptive audience. The artist’s journey recalls that of queer, creative kids across the country who not only assert their difference but wield it. To paraphrase Baldwin, they walk on the earth as though they have the right to be here. Read the full article at https://www.papermag.com/ben-evans-artist-interview-bless#rebelltitem27
