ALBERT REYES X DIRTYPILOT.COM, by dirtypilot on Mar 25, 2011 17:34:07 GMT 1, www.dirtypilot.com/lounge.html
Welcome back to one of our favorite good guys and dope artist-ALBERT REYES.
Now showing March 9th โ April 15, Albertโs signature drawings and paintings on re-purposed book covers covers along with new prints.
Albert Reyes has been known to spit art on his hands and knees with a mouth full of beer in the middle of the street. He has also shown in a gallery along with a painting by Picasso. These same strange dualities and juxtapositions are highly prevalent in his work, which tackles both conceptual and graffiti art. Recognized for his ubiquitous โGIVEโ tag, Albert has a distinctive artistic approach inspired not only by street art, comic books, and American pop culture; but also by contemporary and classical โhigh artโ. Many of his drawings and illustrations incorporate everything from icons of corporate America to Hollywood stars to mass media to politics to consumerism. Reyes has exhibited at the Tree House Gallery, JUNC Gallery, Bent Gallery, Giant Robot LA SF NY, New Image Art Gallery LA, Upper Playground SF, Low, Balazo, Ampersand, Stay Gold Gallery NYC, Studio Number One, and in Paris, France. He has done album cover artwork for the band Le Rev and singer/songwriter Simone White. He has also appeared in the New York Times: Year In Ideas, Swindle, Chicano Art Magazine and appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, CWโs Online Nation, and CNN.
