Leonard Street Gallery is proud to announce the opening of an exhibition of new works by celebrated artists DOZE GREEN and ROSTARR. Doze Green (Rock Steady Crew) and Rostarr (Beautiful Losers) have both graced the scene for many years displaying their various forms of artistic expressions through painting, drawings, music, fashion and film. For the first time in the UK, these prolific artists will come together to create a visual journey for the viewer to experience through their display of these various forms and mediums.Through stream-of-consciousness painting, both artists use traditional graffiti techniques involving energy and motion to create forms that exist in a visual meeting place of ideas. Doze Green explores meditations on matter and anti-matter, layers of consciousness, and different possibilities based on cosmology, while Rostarr’s stylized calligraphic writings introduce grace and tension as a distinctly human gesture. This collaboration is an extension of this metaphysical concept that becomes visually displayed through an installation based exhibition from both artists.The exhibition is running until the 28th of June, click here for more information.

The site is currently a bit behind in terms of updates, expect a whole load of news over the next day or so.
Just so you don't miss anything:
"‘Til The Hot Runs Cold…’ opening on the 23rd May will showcase new works by the artist Word To Mother. This much anticipated solo show, his second at StolenSpace, will feature paintings in mixed media on wood, canvas, found objects and installation pieces.More information and pictures of the work on display can be found on the Stolen Space site.
Word to Mother's craft is unlike any others, blending an organic warmth with his compulsive sketch book drawing and city life observations, absorbing the everyday; architecture, social situations, drinking tea and the deliberation of retaining artistic integrity whilst being commercially successful. His canvases are found wood sourced from the beaches of his birth place Hastings or the discarded wealth of weathered objects found of the streets of East London where he now lives and works. These recent paintings feature pattern work interspersed with diamonds, hearts and characters deliberating daily life in an unforgiving city environment (more...)"
"Skewville will transform this former brooklyn bodega into a Pop-Art Market for the galleries grand opening. Skewville has been making great advancements in the experimentation of street stamping technology along with revamping city materials to communicate phrases like “FRESH” and “FAME GAME”. Yet, most know is Skewville’s Sneaker mission, WHEN DOGS FLY, since 1999 they have been manufacturing fake wooden sneakers, which can be found tossed over thousands of power lines in your neighborhood and all over the world"A number of past pieces from Skewville are available direct from the sites inventory, click here to see what's available.
