A little over a year ago, Jason REVOK invited audiences to stare into his hypnotic assemblages at Library Street Collective. Following suit, the California-born, Detroit-based artist is set to showcase a much larger show at The Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (MOCAD) — marking the artist’s first museum solo exhibition. The Artist’s Instruments continues on a career long exploration into graffiti and mark-making, with an added technological element that reflects the current trajectory that art is going in with the advent of robotics and the digital age. For this new series, REVOK created several instruments that act as extensions of his body. One of which is a metal frame that assists the artist in creating “frame drags” and “tape loops”, along with his signature “spirograph” patterns ac...

On October 13, Allouche Gallery in New York will present a new group exhibition entitled Spray Painterly 2 curated by the acclaimed Brooklyn-based artist Stickymonger. The first iteration, Spray Painterly, took place in 2021 and was launched to challenge the perception of spray paint artworks as just merely graffiti, and instead, showcase how masterful methods involved with using the medium can rival conventional materials that are often found in fine contemporary art. For this second edition, Stickymonger has gathered a fresh coterie of talented artists that have utilized spray paint in distinct ways across various works. Participating artists include André Saraiva, Ana Barriga CHITO, Diego, Jonathan Edelhuber, Stickymonger and UFO907. Altogether, the ongoing Spray Painterly series by Sti...

Portland-based design agency FISK will unveil a new exhibition with Los Angeles-based artist, Chris Burnett, who amongst his portfolio of work, recently created the key artwork for Kendrick Lamar’s ‘The Big Steppers Tour’. Colibri presents a new series of mixed-media collages emphasizing the symbiotic and mysterious relationship between the natural world and the human imagination. The title of the show means ‘hummingbird’ in many romance languages, and was chosen to impart a feeling of quiet elusiveness that is attributed to the bird, and runs parallel to how Burnett views his creative process. As Burnett’s first solo show, he invites audiences to float through his collage-like abstractions — each serving as an homage to how being fully present will help unlock our own unique internal natu...

With the World Cup in Qatar just about a month away, FIFA has launched “Spotlight: Your Dreams” — a new series showcasing the work of emerging artists who have created unique pieces centered around the Jules Rimet Trophy. FIFA will work with a panel of seven artists and social media star Noah Beck, who look to inspire the creative community to draw, paint or artistically express their dreams prior to the start of the tournament. At the heart of the campaign is the hope to spread a positive, unifying and inspiring power of the trophy, while building hype for the tournament, and drive conversation in and around the football world. The seven artists within the panel include Lu Sedova (Argentina), Matt Adnate (Australia), Victor Mosquera (Canada), Josephine Henning (Germany), Farid Rueda (Mexi...

Steven Harrington just dropped an exclusive screenprint that will only be available for the next 72 hours. Dubbed Stay Mello, the print is based off a much larger painting the Los Angeles-based artist recently created, which contains a forest full of his most cherished characters — from Mello the dog, yin-yang symbols to his signature palm trees. “For a long time now I’ve wanted to release a print that could reach my wider audience,” the artist told Hypebeast. The resulting ‘time-editioned’ print will only happen “every three years or so,” Harrington added. All orders within the time frame will be guaranteed a screen print. The edition size will be determined by the number of prints sold during those hours and once sold out, the same print will never be reproduced again. Measuring 16 ...
