WE'RE BACK! THE CREWEST BLOG 2024

Man One ·

We've been on a hiatus with this blog for over nine years now! Damn, how time flies! As we moved away from the traditional gallery scene in 2012, we started a new journey and founded Crewest Studio, we now think it's time to come back to give our two cents about the current state of affairs in the art world. We love supporting artists and helping them sell their work as well as giving them platforms to promote themselves and bring better and more beautiful art into the world.

This blog will continue highlighting some of our favorite artists and friends and their current projects around the world. We will also be shining the spotlight on some new talent and exciting artists that we find interesting out there in the current global landscape.

We look forward to sharing with you all things CREWEST™…the Shop…the Studio…and the Gallery.
So hang on tight and LET’S GO!

ISAIAS CROW: TIME TRAVELER @ OPEN SPACE LA

The Crewest Man ·


Crewest + Open Space Present:

TIME TRAVELER 
A collection of paintings by Isaias Crow. 



Curated by Man One. 









TIME TRAVELER - is a collection of paintings inspired by Isaias Crow's travels on the physical and spiritual plane through time and space. These paintings were all painted or conceived in various geographical locations as far east as Derry, Ireland; London, UK and Paris, France to as far south as Costa Rica and within the American continent in Houston, Albuquerque, Oklahoma, Trenton, New York, Miami, Los Angeles and at his art studio in San Diego, CA. 

While traveling, Crow received epiphanies about life, relationships, love, death and about being a soul at the core. The connection and access we have to other souls living in the spirit realm and our pre-birth plan - of what we "chose" to experience while experiencing life. All the while Crow is painting canvases and murals in the places that he's visiting with the materials that are or aren't available and with that also discovering different techniques and approaches to his art. As a result, he's transmitting positive energy frequencies from all these different locations and conveying that onto the canvas. 

This collection compiles all these different experiences into one moment in time - Isaias Crow's first solo exhibition in Los Angeles, California. We present to you TIME TRAVELER. 

"I remember while in London:

Standing still at the London Bridge Tube Station, I had a realization, I like it here. The tunnels, the connections of subways, the diverse cultures that are all moving from one line to another . Countless people traveling to their destination. The energy is like none other that I've encountered other than New York's subways . I hold back tears. I have an understanding that what is inside is outside. This infrastructure is the same / a replica of how our souls navigate to arrive to this space - earth. In the tube we all travel as one - we get off at different destinations and at different times.. Yet we all came from the same source - the same train station.

Reflecting on my artwork now, I see that creating the C-Rollers (paint rollers I cut out to create different linear sizes) and all the pattern work with multitude of colors is my rendition - my understanding of this interior and exterior infrastructure - the plan - the pre-birth plan.

I'm on route - I'm on my path - I'm time-traveling. I'm a TIME TRAVELER."

-excerpt from Isaias Crow's e-book "The Crow's Aura"

You can purchase art from Isaias Crow's exhibition starting April 11th at:

WERC AT COLOR WALK MURAL FESTIVAL

The Crewest Man ·

Mexican border city, Ciudad Juarez, has had the unfortunate stigma of being one of North America's most violent cities.  Through the help of muralists and street artists, the city is trying to change that perception with a new campaign and mural festival called COLOR WALK.

The idea of COLOR WALK is to create street art pieces that will create pride and make positive statements of the community as well as attract tourism by bringing some renown national and international artists.

The first (of many murals to come) has been produced by one of our very own, WERC.
Check out his piece entitled "Rise Up":
