Please join us for a Pre-Comic Con Celebration during the opening reception of “Unearthed” on Saturday, July 9th, 2011

Crewest and Curator Luna George is proud to announce the opening of our newest installation “UNEARTHED”, which will exist on our walls as a larger than life visual comic book brought to life by some of our best graffiti and street urban artists. With a storyline written by author and artist Gustavo Alberto Garcia Vaca, the walls of the gallery will become an actual comic book live for all to see and immerse themselves into. In addition, Crewest will publish and release “UNEARTHED” the comic book featuring the artwork in the exhibit and storyline just in time for this year’s San Diego Comic Con.

“UNEARTHED” features works by underground urban artists from around the world who have created visual elements in the form of never before seen characters who unearth from the underground in the year of 2012 on the day of the Apocalypse. Each of the exhibiting artists all share a strong ability in creating characters whether designed for street murals, album covers, published comic strips or actual comic books. We are very excited about this unique pairing of underground urban talent telling the tale of an Apocalyptic 2012 within the context of a gallery exhibition. Concept created by Luna George.

NEW PIECE BY MAN ONE NOW AVAILABLE

The Crewest Man ·

Man One, known for his bold and colorful strokes and amazing portraits now has available a new piece which introduces you to his innner thoughts regarding the "devastating affect of homelessness" amongst children.



"When you think of homelessness, one usually thinks of adults on the streets. What about homeless kids? To me that's the most devastating affect of homelessness, the kids and families who have no where to go. In this painting I decided not to use an actual subject for the image, but rather a composite of child's images I found. I wanted to depict that emotion of hopelessness more than an actual person in this piece. My hope is that people are moved to action by this painting and this exhibition.” - Man One

The piece above is titled "Sadness" and the look within the child's eyes says it all. Sadness is 36 x 48, Aerosol on canvas, 2010 and is now available.

Purchasing inquiries can be made to info@crewest or you can call us at the gallery at 213-627-8272.
