Marseille: Gris1 solo show at Backside gallery

October 13, 2012 butterfly

Gris1 from the Da Mental Vaporz crew is having a solo show at Backside Gallery in Marseille, France, running until 8 November. Showcasing paintings and installations, Gris1 treats us with a reconstitution of his studio space, where post-it notes and smiley faces overtake the floors to the ceiling. But the most impressive part of the show is a creation of a miniature city and train station where the trains circulate featuring familiar throw-ups and tags from Gris1 and his friends, much to the delight of children and grown ups.

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.
