Paris: Pan solo show at Axelle B.

October 12, 2012 butterfly

Parisian based artist PAN plays around images from the urban environment to create surreal and oniric landscapes.

His “Phares” series focuses on distorted urban landscapes reflected from car lights, while his “Spheres” represent an introspective world issued from the vegetal era.

Drawing inspiration from the Art Nouveau and Art Deco period, the “affichiste-ensemblier” artist has expanded his vision to a series of bespoke furniture for his second solo show, featured at Axelle B. until 5 November 2012.

Paris: Delta Boris Tellegen – Surface

September 14, 2012 butterfly 1 Comment

Boris “Delta” Tellegen is having a new solo exhibition “Surface” at Backslash Gallery in Paris. Using paper and wood the new body of work features intricate 3D collages, geometric images and installations. The multidimentional aspect plays an important part, and so are the lights and shadows effects.

Parisian house colette in France just opened the eagerly awaited new exhibition titled U.T.O.P.I.A. featuring new collaborative works from the Parlá Brothers. The Brooklyn-based siblings placed a series of paintings on the walls featuring a melding of José’s urban calligraphy and Rey’s playful arrangement of colors and lines as evidence of their artistic dialogue. The show runs until 22nd, but check out our opening photos if you can’t make the show in person.

Paris: Colin Christian

July 7, 2012 butterfly

After showing at the International Museum of Art and Science in Texas earlier this year, the stunning sculptures from Colin Christian are now on view at the Opera Gallery in Paris. Made up of fiberglass and silicon, these cyber-erotic sculptures inspired by pinup girls, and sci-fi movie heroines are simply breathtaking.

And for those based in Los Angeles, Colin Christian is having a solo show opening tonight at Corey Helford Gallery with a new body of work called “Hello, Pretty, Pretty”.

Paris: Shepard Fairey mural – Day 2 x video

June 27, 2012 butterfly 2 Comments

Following our earlier coverage of Shepard Fairey’s monumental mural in Paris ( see here), on day 2 the Obey Giant team starts working on the flower at the top right of the building. Having tried the cherry picker myself, it’s very windy specially at such height (40 meters high).

Due to the enormous size of the wall, an authorisation from the local authorities was needed. However this entire project has been totally unfunded and all the participants and organisers have volunteered, so we would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to all the contributors for their time, hard work and making this happen:

Shepard Fairey, the Obey Giant team with Dan, Nick and Z, the organisers with Mehdi from Galerie Itinerrance, Jerome Coumet from Mairie du 13e, Butterfly as well as Mahmoud Belakhel, Ingrid Zeller, Matthieu Soudet, Romain Paget, Julien Hogert, Jonathan Ricquebourg, Rebecca Topakian, Pierre Bézard, Laura Fernandes, Maïa, Marouène, Valentine Poutignat, Julien Soudet, Felipe Quintelas, Fabio Caldironi, Kan, Sowat, Herve, Hugo Vitriani, Patrice Grellet, Philippe Langlois and the residents of the building.
