Screen shot 2011 09 15 at 7.20.58 AM 540x375 Street Art Homo Riot Initiative

Unusual monikers are not uncommon, but this is a first. The street artist known as Homo Riot is launching a “Global Homo Riot” initiative that will take place throughout the month of September.  This “Global Homo Riot” gives participants the materials and encouragement to post, paste, sticker and stencil their own cities with homo positive art and imagery. From thesiteunseen.com, Homo Riot’s sponsor:

The purpose of this global event is to increase the visibility of homosexual imagery, to spur conversation and awareness about issues that effect homosexuals around the world, and to engender pride and hope in young gays – the youth around the world being the primary consumers and audience of Street Art –  who may otherwise feel alone and hopeless.

Preview | Then And Now– New works by Ghost

30 August 2011, 03.42 | Posted in Art, Design | 1 comment »

ThenAndNow 6X4 front Preview | Then And Now   New works by Ghost

TT Underground Gallery will be hosting a solo exhibit featuring the latest work by Ghost, entitled “Then and Now.” The exhibit opens on September 8th 2011.

It’s safe to say GHOST’s legendary status in the lore of NYC subway graffiti’s past was not achieved with some self-consciously plotted career path to art world success. In fact, GHOST was more concerned with the transgression than the aesthetics of letters at the time- and transgress he did. He hated the preciousness of some writers, and attributes his loose, un-planned, flowing style –that persists to this day– to needing to get up and get away. When he later took to drawing, he elaborated on his own aesthetic and dark humor by creating crazily inventive and irreverent possibilities for his letters and characters. Soon after, he merged these  ink apparitions with his street-borne skills as a colorist, and has continued to enjoy a level of facility and mastery of these forms for some time now—and without the level of risk of the old days.
