EXPERT HORROR X ASICS

Posted on 2020-06-29

ASICS has teamed with London-based graphic art and culture collection Expert Horror for a series of graphic T-shirts. With this collection, both brands were keen to include the design aesthetic and heritage of ASICS, with the graphic design of Expert Horror. Approaching the project with the goal of looking at ‘90s nostalgia through a new contemporary lens, each T-shirt features an illustration of the ASICS GEL-KINSEI, a sneaker which holds technology that inspired the design of the product.

DANIEL RICHTER – SO LONG, DADDY.

Posted on 2020-06-29

Celebrated for his riotous compositions of tangled limbs, his fantastical landscapes and his prescient depictions of socio-political events, Daniel Richter’s newest paintings are populated by dynamic, writhing bodily forms that appear to levitate and collide, animated by vivid colouration and heavy black outlines. These large-scale works are influenced by Greek mythology, in particular the flaying of the satyr Marsyas, who was punished for his act of hubris in challenging Apollo to a contest of music.

Exhibition runs through to July 18th, 2020

DAVID LEGGETT – WHY YOU REALLY MAD?

Posted on 2020-06-22

Why you really mad?, is a solo exhibition by Los Angeles-based David Leggett which features paintings and works on paper from the last few years that utilize a comic style to deal with serious subjects like racial injustice and police brutality alongside lighter ones like art history and pop culture.
While he makes his works accessible with colorful depictions of Bart Simpson, Fat Albert, Alfred E. Newman and other somewhat familiar blobby characters coupled with catchy phrases, he does so to get you in. Once there, you will have to face the more difcult issues that are part of every work. The question in the title is Leggett’s, one he poses to anyone who might take ofense at his work.

Opposite – You can do what you wanna do, 2017

Exhibition runs through to July 18th, 2020

THE CITY WITHIN

Posted on 2020-06-22

Before it became part of New York City in 1898, Brooklyn was a city of its own, the fourth largest in the nation. Even today, as New York’s most populous borough, Brooklyn remains a “city within the city,” three times the size of Manhattan. It is from this point of inspiration that The City Within: Brooklyn Photographs by Alex Webb & Rebecca Norris Webb presents more than thirty images by celebrated photographers Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb.

Alex Webb has sought to canvass Brooklyn with an emphasis on exploring its tremendous cultural diversity, from Mexican and Caribbean Brooklyn to Chinese Brooklyn. By contrast, Rebecca Norris Webb has photographed the green heart of Brooklyn, its parks and gardens, as the contemplative core for this body of work. Through the work of Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb we come to see the complex beauty of the borough, its people, its urban landscape, and its verdant green spaces.
