We love Olimpia Zagnoli‘s work – in the next bastard Artistuff collection out in march 2010 there is an Olimpia’s artwork on t-shirt – but I knew a little about her hystory. I discovered that she went as a child to the famous Reggio Emilia’s kindergartens, which I met some time ago.
In this video that resumes her recent lecture at AIGA/NY she talks about herself, her inspiration sources and her work in New York.
The artBook Hooked, by Pirate Movie Production, illustrates through drawings and pictures years of snowboard, trips and Isolation Camps.
For the first time in Italy at bastard store, an exhibition presented by Lukas Goller e Tobias “Ludschi” Ludescher.
It will open up on thursday December 2, from 6,30 PM, with beers and pretzels for everyone.
The bookshop of the bastard store is getting bigger. Among the new arrivals it’s worth recommending two titles.
Rock Candy is a collection of illustrations from one of the most interesting Pop Surrealism interpreters we have in Europe.
The superblonde Femke Hiemstra is indeed from Amsterdam, where she still lives and works. Her visionary works (twisted and a bit esoteric) picture surreal settings, mainly with animals, fruit, objects, flowers and antropomorphic distorted bugs handling opium pipes, kitchenware and other oddities.
The black and white collection of characters in Travis Louies‘s Curiosities is grotesque, fascinating and slightly surreal.
These works look like old pictures stolen from a 1900’s photo album or portraits of actors starring in old noir silent movies…nothing strange about that except for demon horns, ogre-like men, dozens-eyed men, while ladies expose sharp canines, tapered ears and charming spectral looks.
Delicious salami and strong Lambrusco, colorful canvas and painted shoes. Those were the subjects of the No One Knows grand opening.
We ate all the salami and we drank all the wine, but NotAWonderBoy’s works are still at the bastard store until monday October 11th, swing by to give it a well deserved look.
NotAWonderBoy’s No One Knows, Lambrusco, Salame e Solo Exhibition is expecting you on wednesday October 6th at 6PM at bastard store.
NotAWonderBoy brings to the table some Lambrusco wine, his homeland’s typical, and his last body of artwork.
Vinyl and acrylic on canvas and the limited edition NAWPimp dressy shoes for the ladies’ delight.
During the exhibition, that’ll stay open up until Monday October 11th, his custom shoes and sweatshirts and t-shirts featuring the Fightback artwork will be available for purchase.
Zamoc just informed us that he will be part of PAm, the italian Visual Arts Festival happening on July 8-9-10-11 in Senigallia (AN) – Italy.
The pic above has been shot during his first solo show in Milano…
is everything still spinning around Zamoc?
Here below the customized shades by Olimpia Zagnoli, Scarful and Cento Canesio for the Art Shade Expo at bastard store.
Olimpia brings her colorful universe, overpainting every corner of her BPM shade, including lenses.
Scarful worked on the surface, drilling and digging a pair of Detroit with a Dremel and other sharp tools.
Cento Canesio gave birth to a bicolor version of the Hardknox, applying his iconography on it through a thin black marker on gray spraypaint.
Good luck to our friend Marcello Crescenzi, aka Rise Above, for the live painting session at We are the Beast.
Bang Art Magazine, that focuses on the international contemporary art scene, will host the opening event for ROMA. The Road to Contemporary Art on May 26th.
LRNZ, McLane and Mariachiara Di Giorgio will paint their style side by side with Marcello, while you may feel wilder by wearing one of the spectacular paper masks crafted by Nacho Gil.
So it’s art and more, with music and a fireworks show at a night time party you shouldn’t miss!
