Visually and conceptually engaging, Moody’s current exhibit at Pandemic Gallery is a trip into an alternative universe reflecting Moody’s dual graffiti and street art sensibilities. His witty and exquisitely executed “street art” pieces seem to mock not only the corporate world, but the sanitization of graffiti as it evolves into “street art.” Here are some images from the exhibit that continues through July 15th at Pandemic:

We don’t visit Bedford-Stuyvesant as often as we should, as its walls are among the most interesting – and least documented – around town. But we did get over there earlier this week, where we discovered new work by RAE and Gaia and found a huge mural — overlooking a community garden — by Lelo, a street artist from Rio de Janeiro.

About four years ago, I began noticing Cake’s women wheatpasted onto the walls of Williamsburg and Chelsea. Their poignant elegance transfixed me. Even in various stages of decay, they never lost their heart-rending beauty. Thanks to Keith Schweitzer and MaNY, in collaboration with FabNYC, three of Cake’s women have now found a home off the Bowery in Lower Manhattan. Here are some scenes from today’s installation:
And a wonderful full view of the installation can be seen on Cake’s page.

A lover of street art, outsider art and folk art – and especially anything fashioned from found objects – I look forward to every new Rae piece to surface on the streets. I especially got a bang out of his two recent ones reflecting Rae’s great wit, as well as his skills.

I discovered Evol‘s wondrous stencil work in an outdoor passageway two years ago in Washington D.C. and became an instant fan of the hugely talented Berlin-based artist. I finally made it over this past Friday to Jonathan Levine Gallery to check out his current work on exhibit. If you are anywhere near NYC’s Chelsea gallery district, the show is certainly worth a visit before it closes this Saturday. Here are some images:
