MORE "SUGAR JUNKIE" PICS

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"SUGAR JUNKIE" was a 1977 Winnebego Motor Home that had been rescued off the scrap-heap, given a tune-up and adorned with murals, stickers, tags, drawings, paste-ups and more from artists around the globe.

We teamed up with our friends at www.pawnworksstickerclub.com to introduce SUGAR JUNKIE to the public in Miami, Florida 2010 during Art Basel Week.







With boombox cranked, we took SUGAR JUNKIE on the road in and around the Wynwood and South Beach areas of Miami crashing party after party with a vehicle that was made by the people for the people. Artists and fans hopped on and off for free rides and tours of murals going up around town.



Some local artists could been seen chasing SUGAR JUNKIE on foot to take a quick tag or slap on a sticker as we cruised by.





At last count we saw these artists and more represented in one form or another somewhere on SUGAR JUNKIE:

COST, ELIK, MISS BUGS, SPACE INVADER, REMED, VARIOUS & GOULD, AIKO, DAVID WALKER, D-FACE, SKEWVILLE, PERU ANA ANA PERU, COLLIN VAN DER SLUIJS, JOE BLACK, ELUS, SPQR, DAIN, LUDO, CASH4, CHRIS MENDOZA, UFO 907, GAIA, NET KRT, STINKFISH, THUBDERCUT, NOJ, VUDU, LEAS, DDOCK, 5003, CASH FOR YOUR WARHOL, CELSO, RUBY, JULIA, HOPE, PAWNWORKS, STEN & LEX, RAE, (and the lady pictured below)...









SUGAR JUNKIE was recently donated to a children's organization down in Miami and will be turned into a mobile art center full of supplies, books and creative youth....

Long before the emergence of Brooklynite Gallery, owner and curator Rae McGrath was constructing artwork of his own in many forms. Schooled in fine arts, raised immersed in the graffiti/breakdance culture of the 80's and holding down a diverse range of blue collar jobs, has allowed RAE to create an eclectic range of visuals for an exhibition aptly titled "Unconventional Conviction".

Over the years RAE has spent countless hours on the streets of New York City and other parts of the world, engaging then photographing the everyday person. Usually drawn to the elderly or youth--- because of their experiences or lack thereof, RAE often finds similarities to his own life, connecting the dots through his grainy black and white photos which are then hand-painted or silk-screened into pieces that include block text and hand-drawn areas. The second part to RAE's work involves the gathering and transformation of found objects--- namely hundreds of brightly colored plastic laundry detergent bottles. Spending ample time in and around laundromat dumpsters throughout Brooklyn, RAE has amassed quite a collection of these bottles which he then dissects, using cutting techniques once learned while working as a deli worker and butcher. His tales are told on top of mosaic patterns full of vibrant colors and textual information.

For RAE, the vivid, hopeful Pop Art color schemes and graphic detail of the laundry bottles prove to be the perfect juxtaposition to his own urban Brooklyn upbringing and the countless cast of characters of his youthful working class existence. In the end, RAE uses these dynamic combinations to his advantage creating rich and strange alternate realities.

BEHIND THE SCENES

REQUEST A PREVIEW

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The world's oldest known "Portrait" is believe to be created over 27,000 year ago. So why after all this time is it still the most often used subject of creation? A portrait often speaks much less about the physical features we are viewing, then it does about what's behind the gaze in ones eyes or the telling angles of their mouth. This fascination continues to intrigue us through the work of three street artists who use traditional and non-traditional techniques to create their own brand of "PORTRAITS".

Just because street art tandem, STEN & LEX are widely considered to be the pioneers of "stencil graffiti" in their Italian homeland, doesn't necessarily mean they are content with resting on the title. Best known for introducing their "halftone stencil" technique, these two self-proclamined "Hole School" artists spend ample time hand-cutting pixel dots and lines to compose their imagery which is best viewed from a distance. Choosing to forgo the common pop culture imagery often associated with street art, STEN & LEX's subject matter pulls no punches. Saints, Popes and the Italian Christian Church were primarily referenced early on --minus the often added social commentary. However, most recently and for their upcoming exhibition here, the subjects of choice comes from the historic Italian archives they've rescued. The 1960's, 70's and 80's portraits from all walks of life are the focus this time around, as they are put through the rigorous transformation of stencil cutting style that is trademark STEN & LEX. The final appearance of these portraits appear to have been fed halfway through a paper shredder then pulled back at the last minute leaving the shreds left to dangle. The images are for the most part of common folk---young and old. People who have lived lives and have stories to tell. Just read their faces.

Seems as if the young, hard charging NYC street artist GAIA has been showcasing his bold imagery to the masses since before he could walk. Well maybe it hasn't been quite that long but over the past few years he's managed to garner a lot of attention by using more traditional techniques to create his wildlife animals and distinguishing human portraits. Taking a more intelligent, reflective approach to his work, this "old soul" uses wood block carvings and hand-drawn methods to achieve the fur textures of bears, tigers and rabbits as well as the worn lines in the faces of his latest portrait series entitled, "Legacy." At it's core, "Legacy" raises the question of infrastructure design and how we are forced to live with the decisions, good or bad, created by figures such as Robert Moses, James Wilson Rouse & Mies van der Rehoboth, all of whom have shaped parts of the American landscape. GAIA also plans on featuring a series of faded self portraits called "Sunsets". Sunsets are a portrait of the nature of the street artist as an identity. It's a pseudonym, to the person behind the work and the conflict between the secret, the collective and the fame of the individual. Some of the work is directly painted onto reclaimed street posters and found materials.

OPENING THIS SATURDAY! "PARADISE LOST" C215 • EELUS

"PARADISE LOST"
C215 • EELUS
September 4 - October 2, 2010
Opening Night – September 4th, 7-10pm

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Never is there more an exciting time for a gallery and it's curators than when they are in a position to present work from artists who are on the cusp of breaking out and distancing themselves from the pack. As we at Brooklynite Gallery proudly present, "Paradise Lost" a two-man exhibition by stencil-based artists C215 and Eelus ---this is clearly the case. Loosely exploring themes of innocence, wonder and the imagination we experience as kids, both artists approach these themes from unique perspectives in both subject matter and stencil technique ---clearly at the top of their games.

No other artist working in the public space today connects with the streets like C215. With striking murals in varying size and scope all over the globe, he not only paints pictures of everyday people and society's "outcasts" ---he connects with them. Portraits of the elderly, middle-aged and children are carefully chosen; often reflecting the past, present and future in the gaze of their expressions. At times his subjects gain your attention with grittiness and distress ---and his stencils are cut that way; short, sharp and of the two-color variety. Other times his subjects are radiant and fantastical ---and again, his stencils are cut that way; graceful, curved and full movement. Now, as C215 begins to evenly balance the time between doing 'street work' and having a gallery presence, we're beginning to see this well-rounded artist can no longer be put into one single 'category'. Highly regarded by his peers as one of the top stencil artists working today, more than ever C215's work exudes confidence. Continually transforming and perfecting his stencil techniques, experimenting with various surfaces and color theories, C215 doesn't have to speak a word about the range of emotions he channels through his work... We can easily see and feel it for ourselves.


C215

On the heels of his high impact solo exhibition in London last February, UK artist Eelus has officially arrived on the scene with an unusual set of tricks up his sleeve. Toying with the future expectations of adolescence, while juxtaposing sci-fi, sexual tension and poignant text, his imagery is reminiscent of a bizarre dream you wake up from and struggle to find it's meaning. Eelus' work often feels like a still frame from a complex film that points us in the right direction, yet still manages to give us only enough information to draw our own conclusions. Depending on which strings he wants to tug, his often three-color palette is used to strike just the right emotion when applied to surfaces ranging from canvas and wood to vintage metal signage. It all seems to be coming together as Eelus' work continues to stir conversation amongst his early fans as well new ones.

GUY DENNING "RISE LIKE LIONS"

We recently had a chance to spend some time with Guy Denning at the famed Coney Island Amusement Park in Brooklyn. Inspired by his work's texture and social theories along with his own cerebral personality, we attempted to translate that into a video piece.

Here's what we came up with...



Guy Denning and David Walker's exhibition "Surface Tension"
is currently on view here at Brooklynite until July 10.

Please note: We will be closed the week of July 4th.

Brooklynite Gallery is located at 334 Malcolm X Blvd., Brooklyn, New York 11233. We are open Thursday thru Saturday from 1pm – 7pm or by appointment. We are located 2 blocks from the A or C subway to Utica Ave. stop.

GUY DENNING • DAVID WALKER "SURFACE TENSION" . . . SATURDAY

OPENING RECEPTION: Saturday, June 12, 7-10pm
Musical Guest: DJ REHKA spinning the sounds of Indian Bhangra

Brooklynite Gallery invites you to experience "Surface Tension", a joint exhibition featuring Guy Denning and David Walker, two artists, who through the human form, explore two different concepts, using two entirely different techniques.


Guy Denning

Wielding brushes and knives, Guy Denning battles a myriad of ideas that stir around in ones head in hopes that the visual translation might become the remedy. These disparate thoughts that don't connect to anyone or anything in particular are expressed through precarious self-portraits and female figures. Denning's canvases are layered with oil paint and medium thinners, then seemingly blasted with a fire-hose. His work has all the makings of a piece by a classically trained painter, yet the added angst of a back street fist-fight.


David Walker

The gestural approach Walker uses when creating his alluring female portraits can only be achieved using a self-imposed rule of "no brushes, only spray-paint" techniques. For Walker, the subject of his work inherently lies in the facial expression-- just the right one that is. Using found imagery pillaged from peoples photo albums, snapshots and old magazines, Walker's focus is on the subtleties of expressions, constantly in search of a precise emotion or tilt of the head that catches his eye and can expand the distance between his work and that of an intelligible portrait artist.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Besides the visuals you'll experience inside and out in the rear of our gallery, DJ Rekha will supply you with her own brand of audio pleasure. She invites you on journey into a world that merges the traditional Bhangra music of South Asia and the Hip-Hop beats of today. Special dance performances to take place as well.

Long term member of the Scrawl Collective (Nick Walker, Will Barras, Mr. Jago), British portrait artist, David Walker, has the ability to capture intricate details of his subjects using his trademark, multi-layered style and only a spray can. Using self-enforced constraints, such as a 'no brushes rule', David is pushing the medium in his own unique direction.



As a prelude to his upcoming two-person exhibition with Guy Denning entitled, "Surface Tension", David Walker has released a mixed media screen-print at a very reasonable purchase price.

SPECTER • VARIOUS & GOULD "MAKE IT FIT" OPENS SATURDAY!

This Saturday is sure to be a show for the ages. All the right elements seem to be in place (including the weather) for an amazing opening night. The work is stellar, the installations are being constructed --the murals just about dry now.

We have several musical performances that aim to create just the right soundtrack for "MAKE IT FIT", a collaborative effort by Brooklyn-based artist SPECTERand the duo from Berlin know as VARIOUS & GOULD. We couldn't be more thrilled to be hosting this exhibition. Come see for yourself.

DESPITE THE RUMORS: NO ARTISTS WERE HARMED DURING THE MAKING OF THIS VIDEO



SO WHAT IS "MAKE IT FIT" ALL ABOUT YOU ASK? WE'LL BECAUSE IT'S OUR JOB TO TELL YOU, WE CAME UP WITH THIS. . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The concept of “work” can be interpreted in many different ways depending on whom you hit up. Brooklyn-based artist, SPECTER and German duo VARIOUS & GOULD have each located discarded materials, used skill and ingenuity and re-conceptualized things in pulsating ways you might never have imagined. All this done in effort to turn the concept of “work” on its ear in an exhibition appropriately titled, “Make It Fit”.

Cart-pushers, delivery boys and slave-laborers – take the spotlight in much of the work created by the artist who goes simply by the name SPECTER. With all of his portraits based on real people living at the bottom of the capitalist barrel, Specter forces the general public to see what they might rather not – those who got left behind. Collecting materials in much the same fashion his subjects do, SPECTER incorporates shopping carts, bicycles, and crates along with engaging images of your everyday worker, paying special attention to what makes them tick. His work is hand-crafted, retro-fitted, clever and fresh.

For the creative team of VARIOUS & GOULD the concept of “work” means looking well beyond the vigor of the everyday tasks one has to perform for a paycheck and instead focusing on the surprisingly graceful interaction between a laborer and his tools. Imagine peering into the cut-out holes we often see at a construction site and being exposed to a vibrant world of multi-colored uniforms, enlarged tools and graphic text. A world where workers trade body parts depending on their needs, moving in tandem while performing their repetitive tasks in a choreographed “workers waltz”. Using found objects, work related symbols and their refined silkscreen techniques, the line between work and play becomes blurred inside the imaginative minds of VARIOUS & GOULD.
