A couple new things have been popping up as of late. Overunder is back in town, along with a couple new lovely pieces from Swoon alongside some fresh Imminent Disaster up in the mix. Mint and Serf have been engaged in a campaign to reset some street spots in an effort to challenge people to “just put better work out there.” Whatever that means, I was not spared from the apparent critique.

Over three heavy hitting New York locals. The Domino factory went from being pristine to crushed.

Been crushing Columbia Heights, Dupont Circle and Chinatown in DC for tomorrow’s show at the Irvine Contemporary. Never really gotten up in this city hard before and its been fantastic. It has the Baltimore spots but the New York traffic and police are concerned with much larger matters. Check the flickr for more street shots. http://www.flickr.com/photos/gaiastreetart/
Doodles just came down to Atlanta from Oakland to finish this gorgeous 35 x 100 ft mural to kick off the Living Walls projects that will be beginning in august!
Irvine Contemporary is pleased to present new works and on-site installations by gallery artist Gaia. In Urban Romantic, Gaia will present new compositions that combine decollage, linocut prints, and painting on wood panels and new on-site street mural installations. Opening reception with the artist: Saturday, June 19, 6-8 PM.
Drawing on his new and evolving body of imagery depicting human and animal figures, Gaia’s work reflects on the ancient themes of animal and human sympathies, but now in the context of the city and the human built environment. Working with myth and symbolic animal figures, Gaia’s street murals are like the works of an urban shaman drawing on a positive force from animal protectors.
Gaia employs recognizable animal figures to remind us of lost human connections to nature and the environment. He constructs an image of a reversal of the “natural order” where animals intervene as protectors and avatars for a new awareness of the human condition in the natural world. He is known world-wide for street murals placed in areas to elicit surprise and reflection by passers-by who encounter the symbolism and fragile narratives of his work.
