For several years now, the Woodward Gallery Project Space on Eldridge Street has been one of the Lower East Side’s visual highlights, showcasing works by an impressive range of artists from veteran graffiti writers to street art-stencil masters. Through July 26 a handsome retrospective of these works can be seen indoors at Woodward Gallery, directly across from the Project Space’s outdoor wall. Here are a few images:

From street art to sculpture

-1

From the Street Up is a show coming up soon at NYC’s Woodward Gallery. The gallery invited artists Royce Bannon and Cassius Fouler to co-curate the show, which focuses on sculptural work by street artists and public artists. The line up includes John Ahearn, 
Richard Hambleton, 
NohJColey, Leon Reid IV, 
Skewville, Gabriel Specter, 
Stikman, UFO and more. That’s one of the most interesting and impressive lists for a group show that I’ve seen in a while. Some of my favorite artists will be in this show, including a few like Hambleton, UFO and Stikman who don’t show their work indoors very often.

From the Street Up opens July 6th from 6-8pm.

Cassius Fouler shows you “Withdrawal Anxiety”

image_4

Riddled with the obsessive need of more more more, Cassius Fouler’s compulsion to keep creating has found a home with Arlene’s Grocery. Opening Monday, February 11th at from 7-10pm, Withdrawal Anxiety catalogues the artist’s most recent work, which takes the form of sculptural wood tags, canvas, and paper. Much like the go hard or go home attitude behind the graffiti world that Fouler is drawing upon, he has been incessantly creating for Withdrawal Anxiety to avoid exactly that.

Fouler has shared several progress images for his upcoming show, we also have this from the press release:

When you’re compelled, you gotta do what you gotta do.

But what if you suddenly can’t do that anymore?

Then you gotta do what you can, and you work with what you’ve got.

In this collection of recent paintings and collages, Cassius Fouler has graffiti on the brain, and the work provides a glimpse into the nature of creative compulsion as well as the increasingly hazy line between graffiti and fine art.

Cassius Fouler’s solo show in Bushwick

“Four Borough” is an exhibition of works by Cassius Fouler. The show opened last Thursday, July 12th at Weldon Arts in Bushwick and runs until August 11th.

The acrylic work by this mop-marker-wielding artiste de la nuit are like the purged thoughts of a true New York City vandal. The ‘grit and glory’ aspect of graffiti culture and urban life are captured through Fouler’s humor, by playing on the symbolism of the relevant places and objects to these lifestyles.
