Got invited to show some artwork at this upcoming EP release party for an awesome band - Poubelle International

Its a fun casual showing of works which I got the pleasure of being part of and will be on display near the entrance of Grappas.

I'll be showing some mixed media and digital work in canvas or print (if the prints arrive on time). (and I get new canvases done within the next two days)

STUFF will be there with the works of talented artists Danny Kostianos and Matt Bailey.

Artwork:

Installation by artist Danny Kostianos- - we are stoked that Danny will be collaborating with both Matt Bailey and Shann Larsson to put together a little mini gallery on the night of the event! So, we are looking forward to what they will put up! Here's a little info about each artist...

Danny Kostianos - AKA Danny the G(r)eek has been around for years, you’ve just never heard of him; playing the part of art teacher by day and a student of the ways of art by night. Mainly working in acrylics, Danny paints a collage of both the organic and robotic in each of his works to create an explosion of surreal lust. Danny has always had an intense passion for all things art and his work is a must see for anyone who needs a little chaos in their lives.

Matt Bailey- NML (nomattsland) is an emerging Hong Kong visual artist. Having worked in the realm of puppetry, film and theatre in Los Angeles and obtaining a BFA at the California Institute of the Arts, NML returned to his native homeland of Hong Kong to obtain a master's degree in multimedia technology at Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

Recently NML created a short graphic novel as a prequel to the indie horror flick 'GROWTH', the concert poster for Handsome Furs Live in Hong Kong, promotional images for an upcoming comedy horror film 'ZOMB'ASIANS: THONGS OF THE DEAD', and partaking in the newest exhibition at VOXFIRE GALLERY with a 9ft tall painting. NML also won an award from PERSPECTIVE magazine celebrating the top 40 artists under the age of 40 of 2010. NML also just completed a collaborated visual/musical art exhibition at VoxFire Gallery titled 'Among the Lambs Clothed in White'.

Shann Larsson - Mixed Media Art (HK)From recreating figments of her imagination as a child, up until this day she continues to create her personal artwork, unspoken inspirations by the details that form the various responses to life, beauty, decay, and forms of the human condition.
