UPCOMING: EYE TO EYE
EYE TO EYE
Bridging the gap between graffiti and art
Crewest and L. Croskey/Cannibal Flower would like to present "Eye to Eye" - a group show that finds graffiti artists and painters playing on common ground through the shared aesthetic principles of movement, color, and energy. This eclectic group of artists can evoke the visceral energy of a full burner within a gallery setting. It is not about graffiti, it is about the emotion of graffiti. The artists listed are all local Angelenos, some recognized, and some that deserve recognition, the latter being another purpose of this show – to introduce into the scene some new talent; to shed some new light into the walls.
Exhibiting Artists: Bill McEvoy, Brendan Tierney, Cody Lusby, David Cooley, Deryke Cardenas, Djembe and Canvas, Euth, Gregory Rodriguez, Gustavo Munoz, Gustavo Rimada, JoKa, Kelly Berg, L.Croskey, Michael Christy, Phil Santos, Preston Thomas, Rafael Isaac Delgado Jr., Steven Lopez, Tony Venegas
SAVE THESE DATES!
Opening Reception: August, 6, 2011, From 6-10 pm
With beats by DJ Phyz Ed
On view through August 28, 2011
Artwalk Night: August, 11, 2011
