An Alley Packed With Cats! Hanksy At It Again With Will Ferrell Felines at Freeman's!

Summer street art is here and Hanksy is at it again!  This time with Will Ferrell Feline Cats.  All 13 are located in Freemans Alley, off Chrystie Street (near Rivington), in the L.E.S. The comedy icon’s mug is the latest celebrity face exploited by humorous street artist Hanksy, who placed several pieces with Ferrell’s head attached to a cat’s body in the alley. (Remember the recents; Ice Ice Baby with Vanilla Ice and of course Marty McFly?)  The pieces are entitled Ferrell Cats, yes, pun intended. One work even includes the faces of actor Colin Farrell and rapper/producer Pharrel alongside Ferrell’s for good measure. This little photo journey will take your through the alley to see them all! Let's begin....

And with Andy Warhol above, priceless!

Notice the Tim Hanks over the ear....thus "Hanksy"

On to the next with Pharrell....below you can see the size, they aren't much bigger than real cats....an alley packed with cats....

  
Love this one with the smirk...below, a view of the door this feline has taken over

Maybe one of the best, another Ron Bergundy smirk, priceless, you have to look close to spot this one...oh how I love this alley!

Below one left that is always burried behind the bikes of the restaurant workers...hard to get a good shot but still think it works!

 

HANKSY HAS DONE IT AGAIN!

Hendershot Gallery Heats It Up With Street Art!

Hendershot Gallery is NOT slowing down this summer, thankfully.  As other galleries wind down until after Labor Day, quite the opposite here, especially with the continued, ever rising interest in street art.  This summer, the gallery will bring new additions to the show, special performances and projects around Bowery. 

(Re)Print is a group exhibition  that transforms the gallery in to a print shop and project space during this time and you can purchase limited edition prints buy over a dozen street artists from around the world. Anthony Lister, ASVP, Chris Stain, Clown Soldier, Gaia, Judith Supine, Know Hope and many others are on display and up for grabs for great prices.  (See the list on the flyer below.)  Pawn Works also has their sticker vending machine dispensing high quality vinyl stickers by a network of street artists. Put 50 cents in and see who you get!

Street art is continuing to become popular throughout the contemporary art world, reclaiming public spaces their repition creates a familiar aesthetic throughout the city. Anonymous artists are becoming easily recognizable, only for their art. I'm following at least a dozen through the city, you will too once you get even more familiar.  

This piece hangs from ceiling to floor, exquisite detail!

Ok, I had to shoot these guys, everyone is looking at their cell - get a grip world!  Unless, you are reading my live tweets?  The show runs until August 15, 2012
