Pedro Matos LA Show 2013

"Pedros Matos’ first LA exhibition ‘Building Castles Made of Sand’ opens on 17th May at Martha Otero Gallery. The exhibition will feature a new series of oil paintings on canvas and azulejo panels – a traditional Portuguese medium of hand-painted, tin-glazed ceramic tile work. It runs until June 15th and is definitely worth checking out to see his unique style of work made up of layering and the huge variety of textures and mediums he works with. "

Incredible Paper Marbling Video

Paper marbling is a method of aqueous surface design, which can produce patterns similar to smooth marble or other stone. The patterns are the result of color floated on either plain water or a viscous solution known as size, and then carefully transferred to an absorbent surface, such as paper or fabric. Through several centuries, people have applied marbled materials to a variety of surfaces. It is often employed as a writing surface for calligraphy, and especially book covers and endpapers in bookbinding and stationery. Part of its appeal is that each print is a unique monotype.

Keng Kye Alive Without Breath Resin Art Series

These works look remarkable like Japanese artist, Riusuke Fukahori (that i posted about as my fave artist of 2012). However the main difference between his and Singapore artist Keng Lye is that Keng has managed to take it to a third level by making some of his resin based paintings 'portrude' from the water.."Lye slowly fills bowls, buckets, and boxes with alternating layers of acrylic paint and resin, creating aquatic animal life that looks so real it could almost pass for a photograph."

3Doodler 3D Printing Pen

The potential for graphic design and graffiti-esque sculpture etc is huge: "Have you ever just wished you could lift your pen off the paper and see your drawing become a real three dimensional object? Well now you can! 3Doodler developed by American toy company Wobbleworks is the 3D printing pen that can draw in the air. You can draw anything within minutes by plugging it into a power socket. It is the world's first and only 3D Printing Pen."

Richard Galloway

With so many folk making incredible work these days, I get a bit blind with all that gets printed and painted so I have to rely sometimes on friends to highlight particularly good artists. One in particular is Richard Galloway. His intricate wood cut prints make impressive images and on closer inspection make for a rich visual experience. To see more of his work and to learn more about the artist visit his website HERE.

A snap shot of NYC graffiti

I took a trip to NYC earlier in the month, in short the place is dope. This selection of snapshots from my travels doesn't do justice the amount of bombing over there, but gives you a little taste...
