ROA’s New Mural at the Ifö Center in Bromölla, Sweden

A windowless gap on the wall of the large Ifö Center building in Bromölla, Sweden looks like a perfectly-suited nest for ROA's latest mural, a gigantic T. rex skeleton. A former factory with an austere exterior, the spacious building was converted into a cultural center by artists Teresa Holmberg and Jonathan Haner in 2011. The duo is currently developing an artist residency there as well as multi-use studio and exhibition spaces, and ROA's is the first mural on their walls. Known for his black-and-white animal portraits, ROA, who's always on the move, says he typically gets inspiration from the local species of the area he's visiting. While the T. rex is not native to Bromölla, the municipality has been the site of many fossil discoveries that have been a source of hometown pride in the small village.

We recently reviewed Andrew Schoultz's solo show at Hosfelt Gallery in San Francisco, "Blown to Bits," where he reflected on the chaos of world events through an apocalyptic lens. This past week, Empire Seven Studios commissioned Schoultz to do a mural in San Jose, CA that touches upon some of the same themes. Schoultz is an artist with his personal arsenal of symbolic motifs. In viewing his work across various media — from street art to installations to paintings — cohesive ideas begin to emerge through the recurring imagery. Schoultz juxtaposes symbols of wealth and grandeur — like Grecian vases, tigers, gold coins, and ships — with chaotic line work that resembles explosions. His work signals at a civilization in decline, mired by its own greed and hubris.

The Art & Adventures of The London Police

There's a lot of humor in The London Police's work, from the armies of smiling Lads that propagate the scenes to other characters, like a dog astronaut or mermaids. Yet, there's a sense of absolute perfectionism in every piece. Read Liz Ohanesian's full article by click above.

Reka’s New Mural Adds Color to Shoreditch

September 17, 2014

Berlin-based artist Reka recently travelled to London for his current solo show "Trip the Light" at StolenSpace Gallery (see our preview here) and left a mural behind in the Shoreditch district. While the graceful movements of dancers' bodies served as the inspiration for the paintings in Reka's exhibition, the mural took on a more playful, illustrative look despite its shared Modernist aesthetic. Over a black background, Reka painted free-flowing, abstract forms. Some of them emerge as illustrations of specific objects — a fish head, a chess piece with an all-seeing eye — while others keep the viewer asking questions. Is that a spray can with the punk slogan ACAB? The whimsical piece is intended to keep us guessing.

His style, a blend of pop art and vibrant surrealism, looms over city streets and waterways in recent stops in China, the Netherlands, and Belgium. The piece "Axis," above, part of the Back to School Project, was created three months ago in Chongqing in southwestern China.
