Faces in the Mirror by Blek le Rat and Transitions by ABOVE:

This exhibition brings together the original pioneer stencil artist and his younger counterpart utilizing stencils to create public art in over 40 countries around the world.

Blek let Rat first pioneered stencils in the early 80s as a bold, attention grabbing form of street art that was never before seen. ABOVE is the prominent stencil artist of the new generation, drawing on Blek’s methods to project a social message into…

Sten & Lex are known for their unusual and so tedious practice of stencil art which provides an offset look. Their approach of the street in a monumental way and the iconic poetry of their subjects built their current reputation.

This exhibition marks a step toward the affirmation of their career, with a new concept : the «Stencil Poster». They are now completely challenging the repeatable nature of stencil art ; each stencil is unique. Each stencil is used only once, the stencil itself is destroyed and is incorporated into the…

APRIL 9th - May 5th
Old Crow Tattoo and Gallery Presents "Stand Tall"
A conceptual exhibition featuring 20 of the North America's most innovative talents

Old Crow Tattoo and Gallery with curatorial support from Barrett Moore, has given simple but rigid parameters to the participating artists for this exhibition. Our hopes are to create,an all inclusive visually dynamic result. Spanning the country, and at the same time the stylistic confides of aerosol art; the plan was to keep the conceptual execution at the essence each decision. These artists span the country, and at the same time the stylistic confides of lowbrow art. Each selected for his or her individual efforts, this show will also find grace within the group's overall presentation.

Twelve Doors Update

Submitted by russell on
www.twelvedoors.com update

Since Jef Aerosol did Waiting for Godot in Temple Bar in October, we have had some great work on the door.

November saw ADW present the Irish Minister for Health, Mary Harney TD dressed in peasant garb looking very bored reflecting our current economic climate.
December was a joint project by artist Maser and singer Damien Dempsey, for the people of Dublin, about Dublin, in Dublin entitled Love Yourself Today.

January saw the return of Will St Leger who gave us Cowards Carry Knives a commentary on the amount of knife related deaths in Dublin.

February and March still to come and then the Twelvedoors are complete!
