Coming this weekend to my favorite Belgian city, Ghent, are some of my favorite (relatively) undiscovered street artists. Robots Will Kill is going to be there, as well as Roa and Snub23. Check out more about Outside Insight online, and hopefully somebody there will be taking photos.
I was just checking out Anno Domini‘s website last night and came across some really cool work from Saner/Edgar Flores, who just so happens to currently have a solo show at the gallery.
Saner (b. 1981) is a visual artist, illustrator and muralist that discovered his love for graffiti at an early age which ultimately led him to pursue a career in graphic design. The work of Edgar Flores (aka Saner) uses everyday life and their roots to create magic beings with popular pre-hispanic reminiscences beside images influenced by the aesthetics of Mexican masks.
confesiones de una mascara is Saner’s debut solo exhibition.
Exhibit on view thru April 18, 2009 A.D.
I haven’t been able to find any of Saner’s street work online (besides work he’s done outside of Anno Domini), but I’m told he does/did work on the street. Either way, his work is really impressive and something pretty different. A few pieces remind me of Os Gêmeos, but only enough to make me think he’s talented, not enough to be annoying.
More photos after the jump… Continue reading “Saner @ Anno Domini”
Just a quick run through of Saturday’s Phillips de Pury auction results (all prices include buyer’s premium).
For the full results a pdf can be downloaded here.
Faile‘s website was relaunched today and now it makes much more sense.
In addition to the relaunch of the website, Faile is releasing three new prints in the Faile store. All three are from their new set of Native American themed images first seen on the Tate Modern and then at their London solo show in 2008. They are all editions of 20 and priced at $2800. And don’t worry if you’re afraid these have already sold out. Faile are once again using the FairQ ticketing system which gives anybody an equal chance at buying their prints.
My favorite has to be the Man Finds Faile image.
For those who want something more unique, there are also “originals” for sale (aka, these same prints, but with unique touches that make them 1/1) at $8000.
Buy the new Faile prints and originals here.
Bortusk Leer‘s “street monsters” have brightened up the streets of London for a while now. Starting tomorrow, you’ll also be able to find them on your television. Street Monsters has transitioned into a series of animated shorts mixed with live action backgrounds. Just last week I posted the teaser video that turned into this show. For now, Street Monsters is a series of 20 shorts each 2-minutes long and you can catch them on CBBC weekdays at 2:15.
Thanks to @hookedblog for this tip.
As of very recently, Banksy’s “One Nation Under CCTV” image in Westminister has been painted over with a single coat of very grey paint.

Okay, one last press release post today.
Expect another PosterBoy arrest this weekend, because the Neo-Con collective (Aakash Nihalani, Ellis G, and PosterBoy) have their first proper show opening on Saturday evening. Neo Con New York is at 17 Frost Gallery (can you guess the address?) in New York City and will have multiple installations by the collective.
This tweet from Remi/Rough earlier today is now making sense. He and System have a show opening this Thursday at Nancy Victor Gallery, but its just paintings on the walls. No work for sale. I’ll be there. Will you?
Check out this wall they’ve painted there. Looks beautiful, though at least in jpeg I don’t think System can pull of random colors for a portrait as well as say Adam Neate.
The Krah was recently in Thailand, so if you’re in the area, be on the lookout for some new street art there. Also there was Cyclops, and they collaborated on the piece in the photo below. Check out more of the trip at behance.net
Also, this Thursday is the opening of BAZAART, a group show in London with artists like The Krah, Pure Evil, Snub, and many others. More info at Snub’s website.
