Reka Paints a New Cubist-Inspired Mural in San Francisco

Berlin-based artist Reka recently visited San Francisco to paint a colorful, Cubist-inspired mural in a quiet part of the SOMA district. With his work from the past year, Reka has increasingly moved away from figuration. Though his new mural has two female characters at its center, he fractured his subject matter into geometric shapes that evolve into design elements. The clean lines and rounded forms evoke an Art Deco aesthetic, which Reka underscores with his retro-inspired color palette.

Arthur-Louis Ignoré Paints Mandalas Anywhere His Brush Can Reach

French street artist Arthur-Louis Ignoré, aka ALI, has found a unique way to embellish his surroundings. Using resilient materials that can last for a few months, he paints mandalas and ornaments on walls, streets, sidewalks, buildings and just about anywhere else he can reach. ALI is not interested in making sketches, and prefers to let his subconscious take over during the creative process. To him, randomness is key. The end result is a spontaneous and meticulous body of work that explores pattern making through ornamentation.

Isaac Cordal Presents Compelling New Miniatures in “Welcome”

In his ongoing project "Cement Eclipses", Issac Cordal takes an unconventional approach to observing our behavior as a social mass. His alluring and surprising miniature cement figures placed in public locations, featured in our new issue and here on our blog over the years, reveal scenes that zoom in the routine tasks of the contemporary human being. The Spanish artist describes his work as "quickly opening doors to other worlds", often where the "unwelcome" or unfortunate are welcoming the viewer to consider the issues that face the real world.

Opening Night: “Peculiar Tides” by Kelly Vivanco at Thinkspace Gallery

As an artist whose illustrations have natural fluidity, it's no wonder that Kelly Vivanco found herself painting water in "Peculiar Tides". Her latest solo at Thinkspace gallery has a water theme, an element that has captured our imagination for centuries. Water is a source of life and vitality, doomed disasters, bold adventure stories and some of the world's most curious mysteries. Telling its story is an undertaking felt by Vivanco's roughly 40 paintings created over 8 months, sculptures, and a narrative starring childlike heroines that vaguely resemble the artist.

All appear as pixelated wonders when closely inspected.
