ISAIAS CROW: TIME TRAVELER @ OPEN SPACE LA
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"

WERC AT COLOR WALK MURAL FESTIVAL
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":

"Messenger of Light" (Albuquerque, NM)
"What is Within - is Without" (Albuquerque, NM)
If you live in the Southwest and would like to donate a wall, let us know and we can put you in touch with Isaias.
There is no fee for his art on this tour (donations always welcomed but not required) but in trade all he asks is for creative freedom.
Sounds like a deal to us!
