Sweet Toof at Factory Fresh - 29th April, by FactoryFresh on Apr 6, 2011 4:53:22 GMT 1,
Sweet Toof Dark Horse
Opening April 29th, 7-10pm On view till May 22nd, Gallery is open Wednesday - Sunday from 1-7pm
Having chewed up the streets of Londonโs east end, British artist Sweet Toof takes a bite out of the Big Apple with his first New York solo exhibition, Dark Horse.ย Revealing a new series of original works, Sweet Toofโs Trojan Horse greets the city that never sleeps โtil Brooklyn at the freshest factory in town.ย ย Like the Dark Horse himself, Sweet Toof has risen up the ranks as a graffiti artist throughout 80s and 90s England, where his letterforms and street styles have evolved alongside a rigorous academic practice as a realist painter and sculptor. Heavily influenced by the Vanitas paintings of sixteenth century Europe, Mexican Day of the Dead, Subway Art, and the underground comics of Vaughn Bodรฉ, his characteristic gummy chompers are a true mash-up of street and studio.ย ย Now, the anonymous face that launched a thousand teeth unleashes the beast and charges forward once againโwith a fleet of new works and an army of horsemen braced to paint New York by storm.ย Itโs a call to arms in the battle for free expression: join forces, or else just grin and bear it.

Sweet Toof at Factory Fresh - 29th April, by FactoryFresh on Apr 23, 2011 20:07:05 GMT 1, Thanks for asking about what's next for us at Factory Fresh Daniel.
I am really excited to bring you the Bushwick Art Park as part of the New Museum Festival of Ideas event happening May 7th. Our park will feature new sculptures for this event by Specter, Leon Reid IV, and Skewville. Also will crochet works by Olek from her current installation at Christopher Henry gallery.
I just added it to you forum urbanartassociation.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=69577

Sweet Toof at Factory Fresh - 29th April, by shower on Apr 26, 2011 20:31:32 GMT 1, The show at Arch 402 was a last minute thing so some of the work shown there will probably be shown again in New York with plenty of new stuff.
I know Sweet Toof has been working really hard for this. It's not everyday you get a solo show in what's arguably the birthplace of graffiti!
