D*Face-Ausstellung in New York
In der New Yorker Jonathan LeVine Gallery gibt es momentan eine Ausstellung von Streetartist D*Face und für alle, die nicht mal eben spontan nach New York fliegen können gibt es auf der Website der Galerie jede Menge schicker Bilder zu bewundern. (Und ich muss mich gerade behrrschen, nicht einfach alle Bilder komplett hier reinzustellen.)
D*Face is a London-based sculptor and street artist. His artwork has been exhibited in galleries and on the streets of cities around the world. For over ten years, his wall stencils and three-dimensional urban interventions have tested public awareness and resistance when faced with visual alternatives to corruptive, persuasive commercial advertising. Reoccurring themes include: celebrity, fame, and mortality. The artist uses the term aPOPcalyptic to describe his work, which often features images of cultural icons as a commentary on conspicuous consumption in popular culture. D*Face’s early artistic inspirations include pop artists such as Lichtenstein, Haring and Warhol. Additional influences include: punk music, graffiti, skateboarding and skate magazines featuring graphic artists like Jim Philips and Pushead.
