“CANCEPTUAL V.4” OPENS SEPTEMBER 8, 2011 AT CREWEST



CANceptual v.4” will debut September 8, 2011 at Crewest Gallery in Los Angeles during the Downtown Artwalk from 6 to 10 pm with music by DJ Phyz Ed and refreshments provided by Jarritos and Roaring Lion Energy Drink and will be on view through October 1, 2011. CANceptual V.4, a large group show, will feature over 70 urban artists who create contemporary and edgy works of art using a spray can as their canvas. This show is dedicated to innovation through creation and design.


With retrospect to the last CANceptual shows Crewest has produced in the past years (2007 – 2009), this year’s CANceptual will be different in innovation and will showcase an installation in the Featured Artist Room entitled “Paint the Future”.

Paint The Future” (PTF) is a first-of-its kind art and design installation created for Canceptual V.4. PTF will ask: What does spray paint look like when graffiti artists design their own? What would paint manufacturers create if they consulted with professional graffiti artists as Nike does with Michael Jordan for basketball shoes? World renowned American graffiti artist Man One will collaborate with award winning design firm Studio One Eleven, to find answers to these questions. Paint The Future is being curated by Man One Design.

CANceptual [v.3]
"Recycle your spray cans...make some art...save the Earth"

Exhibit Dates: May 2nd thru May 31st
Opening Reception: May 2nd from 6pm to 9pm







Crewest saves the Earth one spray can at a time. For the past 7 years, Crewest has been at the forefront of recognizing graffiti art as a unique and valid art form with aerosol cans as one of it’s primary mediums. In support of the many artists who have chosen to use their talents for something positive, Crewest celebrates their 7th Year Anniversary and brings you the third installment of CANceptual. An art exhibition giving young artists an opportunity to showcase their work alongside known artists. Crewest encourages artists to find those old rusted cans and recycle them by turning them into fine art pieces for sale at the gallery.
As gallery director Man One puts it, “Where the weapon of choice becomes the instrument of beauty”
