Quentin vs. Coen – An Art Show Tribute

Quentin_vs._Coen_Show_Flyer_by_Greg_Gossel

After tasting huge success with their Wes Anderson-themed ‘Bad Dads’ art tribute, Spoke Art will open their latest art show ‘Quentin vs. Coen’, on April 7 at the Bold Hype Gallery in NYC. The battle-royal style exhibit, a tribute to the films of Tarantino and the Coen brothers, will feature the artworks of over 100 artists from the new contemporary art scene.

The first installment of our “versus” series, “Quentin vs Coen” looks to expand on the concept of a pop-culture themed art show by pitting together two directors who share overlapping or similar stylistic themes, and allowing the viewer to decide their favorites. Though there are many distinct differences between the bodies of work created by both Quentin Tarantino and the Coen Brothers, their crafting of generation-defining soundtracks, the penchant for ubiquitous violence, their casting of the same actors (notably Steve Buscemi), and their ability to constantly create spectacular works of varying genres (everything from Kung-Fu to crime dramas to westerns), have cemented both Quentin and the Coens as some of the most important directors of our generation.

The show will also offer visitors a chance to buy a broad range of affordable prints, as well as original pieces of art.

Details of the show:

When: April 7th, 8th and 9th

Where: Bold Hype Gallery – 547 W 27th Street, fifth floor. New York, NY 10001

There are some must-see images of the artworks after the jump. Do check them out.

SYSTEM + SURFACE Art Exhibit at the Weltraum Gallery

SYSTEM_ _SURFACE _Art_Exhibition_5728

The SYSTEM + SURFACE art exhibit was launched at the Weltraum gallery in Rumfordstrasse, Munich, on the 28th of January. The exhibit features the works of three talented artists, who are fresh and welcome entrants to the Munich art scene.

Eric Mack

As an internationally successful artist, this exhibition proved a warm Munich welcome for American Eric Mack. Exploring systems, his irresistible grid-based fine art pieces are built up with colour, texture and intrigue in equal measure, and have already wowed audiences in New York and LA. At Weltraum, Munich visitors will doubtless also be seduced by the melody and rhythm that give shape to what he calls his “visual sheet music”.

Coletta Ehrmann

Acclaimed Munich-based photographer Coletta Ehrmann’s collection of candid photos was equally personal and equally inviting. One woman’s mobile phone uploads have the potential of being disengaging, but Ehrmann’s observations have a light contemplative quality that form an ideal basis for further drawings and a filmed piece, therein telling a fuller, entirely absorbing story.

Ray Moore

A debutant exhibitioner, Ray Moore is taking the opportunity with SYSTEM + SURFACE to present his multi-faceted creativity. With his fascinating doodle illustrations, as tightly packed with rhythmic complexity as they are with humour, Moore has somehow brought balance to charming madness and charm to maddening balance. His ‘Wertschätzung’ concept, in contrast, explores the consumerist world we live in today in an unapologetic display of alternative ways to fill a designer bag.

The works will be on display at the gallery, until 11th February 2011.
