Art Now Tonight & Spotlight on Chelsea - You Still Have Time To See.....

For anyone who knows me, meeting Marilyn Minter (left) made me a bit bonkers!  Not familiar with her?  Yes you are - http://www.artnet.com/artists/marilyn-minter/.  Her images have been everywhere the past few years especially these....

She has been my favorite artist for a lonnng time in which I draw huge inspiration!  Bonkers, I tell you.  And, another favorite, Elizabeth Huey (right).   These fabulous women were also taking in the art at Leo Koenig Inc. Gallery at Nicole Eiseman's show in Chelsea, (works below.) This show runs through June, 30, 2012.

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!

A sample of the many prints for sale...

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

Enjoying GOOD DAYS POP UP SHOP in the Meatpacking District!

Art & fashion right here, the way we like it:  A new Pop-Up shop has "popped up" in the Meat Packing District full of unique clothing and street art, how perfect!   "Enjoy Good Days" located at 55 Gansevoort St. sports three levels of food, nightlife and yes, shopping - and a good bit of street art too! Open daily, the ENJOY GOOD DAYS Pop Up Shop  presents CFDA Members and New York's hottest designers; Del Toro, Whit, The Trunk, Unruly Heir, Minnie Mortimer and more. 

This is the entry way downstairs with a quick piece of art by Nick Walker so you know you're in the right place. Then you'll see this huge lips mural which I loved.  Next, loads of street art surrounded by fresh designer clothing scattered about.  The atmosphere has an English boutique/graffiti/club feel with the art literally adorning every single wall.  

Support the designers, have a drink, dinner, shop around some more and enjoy...
