Alexandros Vasmoulakis :: 'Is Everybody Happy?'

AWESOME, One of my top 5 artists is coming to town... LeBasse Projects is excited to present, 'Is Everybody Happy?' the first U.S. solo exhibition from Greek artist Alexandros Vasmoulakis. In this anticipated solo project, Vasmoulakis brings his first major body of work to the US after becoming recognized across Europe for his work both on the streets and in galleries.

Vasmoulakis is mostly known by his work in the streets of Athens, Greece as he has painted on and embellished various buildings across the city and is expected to do the same here in Los Angeles. While recognized for his street work, Vasmoulakis' paintings are beginning to reflect the maturity of his work as an artist. His works' main theme is the psychology of his figures - the struggle and the element of conflict dominates in the pairs of his figures as well as in each character separately. With the perceptive analysis of his characters Vasmoulakis achieves through his work he persuades us that he has penetrated into their mentality by holding a role of a competent and gifted anatomist and of an expressive soul searcher.

'Is Everybody Happy?' will be Alexandros Vasmoulakis' first U.S. solo exhibition.

Various & Gould + Specter Next Up At Brooklynite Gallery

Admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 21:50:16 +0000

Brooklynite Gallery's next show is something to watch. Check out the awesome artist duo of Various & Gould and Specter. Two of my new fave artists. The concept of 'work' can be interpreted in many different ways depending on whom you hit up. Brooklyn based artist, SPECTER and German duo VARIOUS & GOULD have each located discarded materials, used skill and ingenuity and re-conceptualized things in pulsating ways you might never have imagined. All this done in effort to turn the concept of 'work' on its ear in an exhibition appropriately titled 'Make It Fit'. Cart pushers, delivery boys and slave-laborers – take the spotlight in much of the work created by the artist who goes simply by the name SPECTER. With all of his portraits based on real people living at the bottom of the capitalist barrel, Specter forces the general public to see what they might rather not – those who got left behind. Collecting materials in much the same fashion his subjects do, SPECTER incorporates shopping carts, bicycles, and crates along with engaging images of your everyday worker, paying special attention to what makes them tick. His work is hand-crafted, retro-fitted, clever and fresh.

For the creative team of VARIOUS & GOULD the concept of “work” means looking well beyond the vigor of the everyday tasks one has to perform for a paycheck and instead focusing on the surprisingly graceful interaction between a laborer and his tools. Imagine peering into the cut-out holes we often see at a construction site and being exposed to a vibrant world of multi-colored uniforms, enlarged tools and graphic text. A world where workers trade body parts depending on their needs, moving in tandem while performing their repetitive tasks in a choreographed “workers waltz”. Using found objects, work related symbols and their refined silkscreen techniques, the line between work and play becomes blurred inside the imaginative minds of artists VARIOUS & GOULD.

Brooklynite Gallery is located at 334 Malcolm X Blvd., Brooklyn, New York 11233. We are open Thursday thru Saturday from 1pm – 7pm or by appointment. We are located 2 blocks from the A or C subway to Utica Ave. stop.
