by artist James Marshall aka "Dalek"
August 4, 2010 - August 27, 2010
James Marshall - known as Dalek - will present a solo art exhibit with one 37-foot continuous wall mural, at the Hurley )( SPACE gallery in Costa Mesa, CA. The painting will be offered for sale by the foot and cut out and framed on demand during the opening. The opening reception will be from 7:00pm - 10:00pm on Wednesday, August 4th, 2010.
Earlier this year, Dalek, collaborated with skate-surf brand, Hurley, on a pair of custom board shorts featuring the artist's iconic multicolored geometric prints. Early in his career, Dalek was roommates with Kris Markovich, a Hurley team skateboarder, thus becoming familiar and close with the Hurley brand. In the years to follow, Dalek has grown to become an accomplished and respected artist with a very known and recognizable style. Last summer he was commissioned to create a 10ft x 22ft site specific painting for Hurley's now infamous 225 Forest concept store, which is home to the Nike 6.0, Converse and Hurley brands. The commissioned painting led to Dalek becoming an ambassador for Hurley, and now his artwork and designs can be seen throughout the Hurley brand.
The artist focuses the piece on an 8-foot high, 37-foot continuous wall mural comprised of hyper-abundance color and planes of space painted canvas from 75 pantone colors. The painting will be offered for sale by the foot and cut out and framed on demand during the opening. The painting will be offered for $200 per square foot in the following square dimensions:
2' x 2' foot
3' x 3' foot
4' x 4' foot
A smaller companion painting that is 11' by 8' and four limited edition 36" x 48" works on paper will also be available.
Patrons will be able to work with staff to decide on which part of the painting they want to cut out. It will be cut out live, during the event and framed on site. Each person will be photographed with their choice cut from the painting and interviewed on video as to why they selected the section. The resulting still photos and video will be used in a book and video on the project.
