Hush: “Twin” at New Image Art

This past weekend New Image Art in Los Angeles opened their latest exhibition, "Twin" by renowned UK street artist Hush. Continuing on his recent departure from more anime-styled works (who's origins and influence undoubtedly stem from a previous career as an animator in Asia), to a looser and more graffiti driven narrative. A variety of tags and colorful hand styles comprise the garments of his geisha while the abstracted faces and backgrounds create a compelling whole that fuses east with west and past with present. Get a look at a new mural, as well as opening night pictures courtesy of Birdman, after the jump.
