Twoone Explores Animal Symbolism in “Imperfections Reflections”

Berlin-based Japanese artist Twoone has been pushing his style further in recent months. As we saw in our studio visit with him, and again last month, he continues to expand on his hyper colored palette and materials, bringing his works to life as fluorescent light boxes. Opening on October 8th, Twoone will exhibit a new series at AvantGarden Gallery in Milan, Italy.

Berlin-based Japanese artist Twoone has been pushing his style further in recent months. As we saw in our studio visit with him, and again last month, he continues to expand on his hyper colored palette and materials, bringing his works to life as fluorescent light boxes. There is a free movement and confidence about them. As Twoone got his start in Melbourne’s graffiti scene, his works are imbued with bright sprayed paint and gestural line work influenced by his roots.  Opening on October 8th, Twoone will exhibit a new series at AvantGarden Gallery in Milan, Italy. “This series is a part of an ongoing search of ‘psychological portraits’ and a reflection of the inner characteristics of a particular being,” Twoone says in his show statement. Some pieces feature the gentility and mysterious calm of deer, others the beautiful and dangerous qualities of snakes and spiders. His portraits reflect on the animalism that he finds in people, where images of animals represent the “masks” of our true selves.

After painting mostly around his homeland and some cities in Europe, Barcelona-based artist Pejac (covered here) recently took off on a tour around the Far East. During his trip, he stopped in Hong Kong, Seoul and Tokyo, leaving his mark in every city.

Boy Kong, a painter and muralist who resides in both Orlando and New York City, combines both traditional painting and street art to make absorbing three-dimensional work. Pieces like "First Flower Tiger Pelt" use both affected textural elements with acrylics and oil and materials like horse hair and custom wood-cutting to create wholly new creatures. The artist’s murals and oil on panel works are more traditional in dimension, yet all carry a kinetic vibe in which the subject is reacting to the shape of the canvas.
The hardworking team behind one of the world's longest lasting street art festivals, Nuart in Norway, covered here over the years, recently announced the launch of yet another public art project.

Berlin, Germany based artist Johannes Mundinger's murals bring the unusual beauty of Impressionist painting onto the street and other unlikely, usually degraded places. Inspired by the 19th century movement, Mundinger aims to convey feelings of atmosphere, colors and even smells from the real world subject matter that his images are based upon, describing his work as "mainly abstract, but it contains figurative elements and includes shapes that hint to existing things."
