Book: Smash 137: Smash Proof

Smash 137: Smash Proof (On the Run)
By: Amber Gruenhaeuser (Author), From Here to Fame Publishing (Editor)

An in-depth look at a style in flux, 'Smash 137 - smash proof' traces the various style excursions and developments of Smash 137 one of Europe's finest contemporary style writers as he chases the elusive perfect style. Never content with resting on his reputation or accepting in-vogue styles, Smash keeps busy mixing it up and pushing his forms to the limit.

He is renowned for executing complex transitions and ideas under the guise of a simple veneer. Don't be misled - behind the bubbly persona and swing of these so-called simple letter styles is a subtle but powerful punch. This is a work in progress full of interesting twists and turns.

Watch as Smash takes the art of writing to another level ... Smash 137 is an impressive talent, famed for his unique, super-fresh letter styles and his no frills approach. He gained street cred in his home town of Basel before his work was picked up by galleries worldwide. Today he travels the world painting large-scale commissions and attending graffiti jams. He is currently affiliated with the art collectives The Invisible Heroes, Krauts Gallery and writes for the Montana Writer team.

Switzerland, Basel: June 16-20, 2010: Vox Humana

L.A. ART MACHINE and Rivera & Rivera Gallery are proud to present

VOX HUMNANA

at Volta 6, Basel

Curated by Bryson Strauss, VOX HUMANA is a live art performance by legendary Los Angeles street artists Mear One, Kofie, Retna, and El Mac that will take place at VOLTA 6 in Basel, Switzerland, June 16-20, 2010.

Street artists work on the fly and in the open to create works of art that change the way we see, feel, and interact with our urban environments. The VOX HUMANA happening will provide an opportunity for VOLTA patrons to witness how street artists work and watch the live unfolding of “pieces” within the context of an international fine art fair.

For the five-day run of the fair, these four artists will create large-scale (up to 3.5 meters x 7 meters) pieces in their signature styles using acrylic and aerosol paints. VOLTA attendees are invited to witness the completion of these monumental works on Sunday, June 20, 2010 at 2 PM, and participate in a closing celebration.

This project is of unique art-historical value, as it represents a major shift in not only contemporary aesthetics, but in the public perception of street art generally. These artists, who grew up on the streets of one of the toughest cities in the world, carved a name for themselves as artists through dangerous illegal activity. Over 25 years, however, they have gone from being criminalized by their community to being celebrated for creating one of the most challenging and sophisticated contemporary art forms.

Don't Miss it!!

Street Art at Scope Basel - Mear One, Kofie, Retna & El Mac

During Scope Basel 2010 Willem Kerseboom Gallery will present artworks created by legendary street artists Mear One, Kofie, Retna and El Mac. Simultaneously there will be a live performance by these artists at Volta 6. Working with various media, each in their own style, this group of artists have transcended street writing and evolved their work into one of the most challenging and sophisticated contemporary art forms. Please visit us at Scope Basel, booth D14, from June 15-19!

EXPOSITION du 24 avril au 22 mai 2010 

SHOW from 24 april – 22 may 2010 

"Piece of Mind" est un recueil en peinture de fragments de pensées, qui cohabitent avec harmonie sur un support original tel que la toile, type tenture. Les nouvelles oeuvres de Mambo promettent une peinture plus légère et colorée qu'à l'accoutumée, mais aussi emplit d'une nouvelle sagesse. 

The show could be described as one big illustrated brain, full of visions and emotions, using posca pens, spray and acrylic paint on canvas. Mambo paints as if he were writing, creating art that you can read. Everyone can build their own story simply by watching it.

Dare tribute and video

This made me cry. Thanks TWS and Love Letters.

http://atome.wordpress.com/2010/03/07/rest-in-peace-dare/

Dare painted those trackside walls in Basel so often that they should name the station after him.

Dare.TWS RIP

Dare lost his battle with cancer early Sunday morning. He was taken suddenly from us and way too soon.

He will always be remembered as a wonderful person who was kind and generous. He influenced generations of writers worldwide with his graceful and inventive styles and his skillful use of color.

He was a thoughtful friend and a great man.

My heavy heart goes out to his friends and family. We are all shocked and saddened to lose Sigi.
