Corbin Shaw is an artist on the rise. Hailing from Sheffield, South Yorkshire, the creative now resides in London and has been at the center of his own uprising in recent months, jumping from the release of his Laws To Live By, Laws To Eat Off editions to fronting Perfect Magazine‘s cover, and now, working with Levi’s. Unveiled last night at Levi’s recently-refurbished Regent Street, London flagship store, Shaw has worked alongside Levi’s to create an original large-scale installation aptly titled London Tapestry. Made from denim, Shaw used a cyanotype method that sees the material look as if it’s been bleached — however, through the power of UV light, depictions are transferred onto the artwork. By using the cyanotype method, Shaw is able to ingrain memories of his life in London across t...

Having recently worked on an NFT collection for the NBA, Rochester and FRANCHISE have teamed up again for a new solo exhibition, titled Under Pressure. Mostly painted against an empty backdrop, each element within his paintings can be seen as portals into the artist’s inner muses and daily experiences. To accompany the works on view, Rochester has also released a new limited-edition tee, along with a new EP, dubbed 100+. The four track collection is a blend of house & UK garage-inspired tracks, laced with R&B vocals, available on all mus...

Art Basel’s inaugural Paris+ is officially underway and to add to the list of events around the city, Jack Siebert has curated a new group exhibition titled High Humanity. The show is housed at the Chapelle de l’Humanité, which was first conceptualized by French philosopher Auguste Comte. Hailed as the father of positivism, Comte sought to combine feeling, reason and activity in perfect harmony as part of his secular religion of Humanity. Emblematic of the title, the 20 works on view carry this spirit by adhering to three of Comte’s key tenets: sympathy trust and respect. From Emma Cousins’ carnivalesque figures to the punchy abstractions of Julian Farade, each artist aims to capture their own ‘perfect character’ and by extension, the highest form of humanity, as Comte once suggested.
