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.

ART + EXHIBIT PICS: BEFORE THE REVOLUTION

If you haven't made it down to the gallery to see Gusmano Cesaretti's exhibition, you're really missing something!

In case you don't know the man has been documenting LA life and culture since the early 70's. Gangs, Virgen Mary murals, graffiti, he was even one of the first to photograph Chaz Bojorquez and publish a book featuring his street graff.

Couple of the folks that showed up last weekend to bless his show included: re-known digital artist David Em and "Quantum of Solace" movie director Marc Forster.

Here's the slideshow of his art and the opening reception. If interested in purchasing some of his grid images, they are very affordable, most only $30-$50 each!

Enjoy!
