SKIO „Bauhaus“
Screen print and acrylic spray paint on Claire Fountaine
Edition of 100 (20 pieces per color variation)
now available at shop.prettyportal.de
In his latest series of work «Human in the city» SKIO questions the situation of mankind in a modern world and it´s opressive anonymity. In an everyday life becoming more and more virtual through the growing dominace of social media, his artworks examine the uniformity our society puts on people and the standard of beauty forced upon woman among others. It is common to say the eyes are the mirror of the soul, and by deliberately leaving them away SKIO reinforces this feeling of anonymity in his artworks, and makes way for the ones of the spectator to impersonate these character and reflect on this issue.
SKIO shows the human body in surroundings, that refer to architecture in a surrealist way, questioning our place in the urban environment. He plays with the visual aesthetics and concepts of virtual worlds. Some of his protagonists seem to wear VR glasses, refering to the growing virtual aspect of our evermore changing live.

Tomorrow night we open Alexis „Bust“ Stephens new solo show at Pretty Portal.
These are some of his wonderful drawings he made for the show.
Alexis ‘Bust’ Stephens inspires. The energy captured in his works is palpable for every viewer. With his dynamic, performative painting technique, he captures the moment, the power of now. His subject is dance.
Alexis Bust Stephens performed as a dancer in hip-hop and breakdance formations on international stages at an early age. At the same time, he found his way into the Parisian urban art scene as a painter. Today, these two forms of expression - dance and painting - merge in a unique way in his artistic work.

Sometimes you dance alone. But often with a partner. A dialogue through shared movement. Leading and being led. Dominating and surrendering. An exchange of emotion and tension. In Alexis‘ new exhibition at the Pretty Portal gallery, he mainly shows couples in dance.
His paintings mostly show dynamic, floating or spinning bodies, captured in a style inspired by the energy of Abstract Expressionism. In his work, movement, rhythm and physical expression become a gestural, pulsating visual language - full of intensity and life.
Alexis‘ works are currently being shown in a large solo presentation in the art museum of the city of Bietigheim Bissingen (www.3sat.de/kultur/kulturzeit/ausstellungstipp-alexis-bust-stephens-100.html), recently in Espace Saint-Pierre des Minimes, a church converted into a museum in Compiegne (France) (www.youtube.com/watch?v=miF28zzOvDQ), they are hanging in the Olympia Museum in Lausanne.

Pop Up Show with works from VERMIBUS at Zwanzig23 in Düsseldorf.
@vermibus @zwanzig23_by_lukas_jakobi
VERMIBUS processes photographs with solvents. In doing so, he modifies their aesthetics and, of course, how they are perceived. Once started, the chemical process must be carefully dosed and then stopped at the right moment in order to achieve the result VERMIBUS wants.
The Spanish artist has been active as a so-called adbuster for many years. In protest against the proclaimed ideal of beauty in advertising, which has been perverted to perfection and only allows happiness as a result of supposed appearance, he removes advertising posters, alters the motifs in his studio and then hangs them in the same place again.
Today, VERMIBUS takes his own photographs, edits them in the same process and explores the thresholds at which the images significantly change their aesthetics and message. #urban #art #urbanartist #streetart #photography #beauty #fineart #contemporary #art #düsseldorf #finedining #artandsoul #gallery #popupshow #collector #artlover
