Case Babelgum Video, by Signal Gallery on Feb 10, 2010 17:53:04 GMT 1, Signal, in association with Campbarbossa, are presenting the first solo show in London by the German artist Case. His gallery work has been attracting more and more attention internationally, following on from his recent solo show in Los Angeles.
The show is called 'Never Odd Or Even' and Case has taken his inspiration from the fantastical works of Alice Through The Looking Glass.
If you would like to be included on the guest for the private view on the 18th February 6 - 9pm then please email us on info@signalgallery.com. If you'd also like to be sent a preview link to the show before the opening, then please let us know.
PRESS RELEASE
Signal Gallery in association with Campbarbossa, are very excited to announce the forthcoming solo show by the renowned German street artist Case. Following on from successful solo shows in Los Angeles and Germany, this first London show will be an exciting event. As well as producing works for the gallery, Case will be painting a number of large street pieces across East London.
Case has been producing street pieces for a decade, primarily as a founder member of the celebrated German street art group, the Maclaim Crew. Specialising in a heightened form of photorealism, several of the artists in the Crew have moved onto working individually and producing works for galleries. Case has taken this course too, to great acclaim. Developing the pioneering photorealist spray paint style of the group further in his own works, Case has produced a series of stunning detailed paintings that have made his work much sought after by galleries and buyers alike.
In his solo show at Signal Gallery, โNever Odd Or Evenโ, Case is his inspiration from the fantastical world of Alice in Wonderland. This imaginative landscape, where nothing is quite what it seems to be, suits Caseโs style like a glove, enabling him to let himself go with his imagery. Using characters and scenarios from the story he is able to anchor his paintings to a familiar illogical thread. Quite the equal to Lewis Carroll in his bizarre view of reality already, the combination of the two creative forces promises to produce fireworks.
Based in Frankfurt, Case studied art restoration and conservation and has a broad knowledge of art history and painting techniques. Despite this he has moved away from traditional painting mediums and is considered to be one of the leading exponents of photorealist spray painting - indeed he is credited for developing the style and methods in the first place. His work has been seen in the US, Germany and in several prestigious group shows in London. He is one of the new bright lights on the Urban Art scene, with not only the technique to produce gallery quality works, but with a great โstreetโ reputation to boot.

Case Babelgum Video, by jakek on Feb 12, 2010 18:20:08 GMT 1, I'm really looking forward to this show, i think i'll head down next weekend.
I like the look of that print too.
Hopefully it'll be a decent size, i think Case's skill is amazing and on a small print his work would risk looking too much like a photograph. I'm sure it'll be great though, the last few herakut prints have been brilliant quality to frankie has obviously found a top notch printer.

Case Babelgum Video, by Agent Provocateur on Feb 19, 2010 11:10:40 GMT 1, Great show, great night, quality catching up with Harry, MJ and Jusdeep.
The stand out piece for me was the knight, amazing to see it in the flesh, the colours and lighting were amazing. Although there were two smaller canvases in the corner that both had a subtly different colour palette and had a slightly darker edge.
There was also the boxed edition of 30 signed books with a gorgeously small case print selling on the night, was very tempted but decided to drink far too much beer instead! I think they even had to nip out and get some more cans as people seemed to be parched!
It was very busy with a star studded list of artists on show, the man himself, Herakut, Pam Glew, Matt Small and Dale Grimshaw.

To make your dream come true Case and Akut will be painting the Village Underground wall around the corner from the gallery in Great Eastern Street.
And yes about the giant book. Two of the pages are for sale and if anyone fancies buying the book itself........why not.
