Hama Woods 🇸🇯 New Print Release • Show News • For Sale, by Nuart Gallery on Aug 9, 2016 9:39:34 GMT 1,

Opening night: August 18th, 19:00 CET Exhibition dates: Aug 18th – Sept 4th
Reed Projects Gallery Salvågergata 10 4006, Stavanger
Hama Woods is a Norwegian stencil artist, based in Oslo. Breaking was a big part of her life before she developed an interest in street art. She cut her first stencils in 2009 and is the latest in a new generation of Norwegian artists who have chosen the stencil as their main medium.
Hama takes inspiration from popular culture, particularly in offering alternative views on mainstream opinion. Her focus is on the relations between people, and as she says, in generally “an attempt to understand what the f**kwe are doing in the world”.
As she states “Her work demonstrates a reverence for nature and its immediate connection to humanity. In a search for methods to communicate the importance and revival of nature, Hama Woods stencils intuitively reflects and focuses on a sociological approach to greed and human consumption and its direct effect on our natural environment.
Her works are characterized by the use of hand cut, multi-layered stencils witch are applied by spray paint and gradually taking root in public and private spaces in and around Oslo. Her hope is to empower and challenge viewers to come to their own conclusions and to rethink the choices they make which effect today and tomorrow.”

The Atrocity Exhibition 2.0, by Nuart Gallery on Jul 11, 2016 14:10:25 GMT 1, Good luck with the show. I like the theme that is being explored. I hope there will be some thought provoking interpretations of it. I also like many of the artists involved. Particularly had my eye on Line Osmundsen's work. It will be interesting to see what she produces for the show, and how it fits with her style. I look forward to updates and some preview pics. Thank-you for your interest! We'll keep the thread updated, our pleasure

The Atrocity Exhibition 2.0, by Nuart Gallery on Jul 11, 2016 13:26:48 GMT 1,
THE ATROCITY EXHIBITION 2.0Curated by Martyn Reed
Reedprojects is launching its successfull Oslo exhibition, 'The Atrocity Exhibition' in Stavanger, introducing some of the finest international names in Urban Contemporary to the gallery's roster. Event Page
Exhibition dates: July 21t - Aug 14th Salvågergata 10, 4006 Stavanger
“Apocalypse. A disquieting feature of this annual exhibition — to which the patients themselves were not invited — was the marked preoccupation of the paintings with the theme of world cataclysm, as if these long-incarcerated patients had sensed some seismic upheaval within the minds of their doctors and nurses.”
JG Ballard “The Atrocity Exhibition”
Reed Projects and Nuart in association with Oslo's Galleri A and A Minor are proud to present "The Atrocity Exhibition", an exhibition of national and international artists titled after the JG Ballard novel of the same name. The show is dedicated to artists exploring the dirty underbelly of contemporary pop culture, celebrity politics, neo liberal economics and the alienation it contrives to create in order to thrive. We present 14 artists from across the globe, both studio based and "Street Artists" from South-Korea to the US, Spain to Canada, Finland to Norway.
The exhibition sets out to explore and present a series of themes common to both the late 1960’s (when the book was first published) and present day concerns. For many, The Atrocity Exhibition is J.G. Ballard’s most important work. It reads like an instruction manual in how to disrupt mass media and recontextualise technology. How are present day artists, In an era of smart phones, high speed internet access and the dawning of “smart” cities, portraying urban life?
“In a sense, the phrase “atrocity exhibition” is a strictly literal description of this media landscape as it emerged in the early 1960s, populated by images of Vietnam, the Kennedys, Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. The novel deals with the violence that haemorrhaged in the 1969 in which it was published: Manson, Altamont, War across the USA. But, for Ballard, the events of 1969 are merely the culmination of a decade whose guiding logic has been one of violence; a mediatized violence, where “mediatization” is a profoundly ambiguous term which doesn’t necessarily imply a disintensification. As they begin to achieve the instantaneous speed Virilio thinks characteristic of postmodern communication, media (paradoxically) immediatize trauma, making it instantly available even as they prepackage it into what will become increasingly preprogrammed stimulus-response circuitries.”
Mark Fischer
The parallels here with the rise of the right and the dominance of neo liberal economics in the shaping of our cities and culture should be obvious. Indeed, several of the artists come to Oslo direct from their success at Banksy’s recent award winning Dismaland show in the UK.

AMERICAN NIGHTMARES, by Nuart Gallery on Jun 8, 2016 9:39:09 GMT 1,
AMERICAN NIGHTMARES Pure Evil (UK) Solo Exhibition
American Nightmares is a celebration of the Dark Side of the American Dream. The murderes, the deaths and the broken promises. Ten years ago Pure Evil was refused entry to the US. Pure Evil recently returned to the US a moth ago, and a new chapter started. Where the work before had a nostagic quality, this show is a celebration of the United States of America. Now, if you scratch the surface you will find a darkness under.
Preview: June 17th, 19:00 Exhibition dates: June 18th - July 17th
For any enquiry, please send us an email
Bio Somewhere between the 1535 execution of Sir Thomas More and the year 2000, Charles Uzzell Edwards became the street artist known as Pure Evil. It’s a pairing of an odd lineage that has produced fanged bunnies and Warhol-esque portraiture famous throughout the streets and galleries of the world. A child of Contemporary London and Silicon Valley era San Francisco, Pure Evil is also a child of his times. His art of primarily modern icons expresses both biographical signature and western culture critique. His pop culture symbols are spewed, and therefore viewed, along the urban and artistic landscape from Sao Paulo to Sydney. It’s the artistic and commercial success that has allowed his London gallery to host shows for more than 60 independent artists.
Pure Evil was born in the form of Charles Uzzell Edwards in South Wales in 1968. He grew up in a world of art thanks to his father, Welsh painter John Uzzell Edwards. The father’s artwork undoubtedly impacted his son, demonstrated in a range of influences from Cubism to Minimalism, from Picasso to Chagall.
The physical and cultural landscape of the 1990’s U.S. intrigued and beckoned the young Pure Evil–upon completing his studies in graphics and fashion in London he set off for California’s West Coast. He established himself in San Francisco, working for the Anarchic Adjustment clothing label as a clothing designer / pattern cutter / graphic designer. He produced countless t-shirt graphics for screen printing, dropped in on the West Coast rave scene, and travelled to Japan where West Coast Streetwear was a hot item. Pure Evil also became involved in the musical fabric of San Francisco and recorded as an electronic recording artist for Pete Namlook’s ambient electronic music label, FAX (based in Frankfurt, Germany).
Street art of course proved to be Pure Evil’s most important artistic discovery during those 10 years. Inspired by the initial influence of Twist and Reminisce, with a dose of skate culture thrown in, Pure Evil graced freeways with “Dump Bush” slogans and tagged gun stores as “Murderers.” But there was one image he couldn’t fulfil with graffiti or sketches–Pure Evil felt the pull of “Dirty London.”
He returned to his homeland on the cusp of the new millennium. It was no coincidence that fang-sporting bunnies began appearing on the streets of “The Smoke.” The artist explained several years later in a BBC Blast interview that the bad bunny showed up one day in his sketchbook. The image came from a hare that he had killed with a shotgun in his youth and it had returned to haunt him for his past sins. The label “Pure Evil” went bag and baggage with the symbol, and the artist adopted the new name.
Pure Evil always considered the moniker a bit over the top, and it has long since evolved into something of a joke for the artist. It does, however, justify his artistic excursions into the darker side of people and their social ills, a worldview that stems from his Catholic upbringing and is dominated by the theme good versus evil. It is also handy that the bunny takes a mere 5 seconds to create, which keeps you one step ahead of the police if you are marking the streets of a new city. The symbol proliferated, as rabbits often do, and so did Pure Evil. The artist began an association with the people involved in Bansky’s “Santa’s Ghetto,” and he started creating prints for Pictures on Walls. When the U.S. denied Pure Evil’s application for re-entry it was a ‘Deus ex Machina’ (Gods Machine) moment for him, where his life changed direction in a completely unplanned way. There was no return to the USA. The artist set up shop in a small shed in the Black Mountains of Wales. After a productive period of isolation and soul searching he moved back to London and prepared for his first Pure Evil exhibition in 2006. The success of those shows enabled him to open the Pure Evil Gallery in Shoreditch in London’s East End in late 2007, and the Department Store Gallery opened 2 doors down in 2014.
Today, Pure Evil enjoys the success of a street artist as global brand. The artistic integrity remains just as much in evidence as his commercial good fortune. The reputation of The Pure Evil Gallery has grown remarkably, due to its support of independent artists. The Pure Evil music studio sends its output to a website for free downloading. He found time to appear on the BBC version of “The Apprentice” during its 2012 season, all the while maintaining a monthly radio program, leading workshops and presenting lectures. And then there’s always artwork to produce.
AMERICAN NIGHTMARES Pure Evil (UK) Solo Exhibition American Nightmares is a celebration of the Dark Side of the American Dream. The murderes, the deaths and the broken promises. Ten years ago Pure Evil was refused entry to the US. Pure Evil recently returned to the US a moth ago, and a new chapter started. Where the work before had a nostagic quality, this show is a celebration of the United States of America. Now, if you scratch the surface you will find a darkness under. Preview: June 17th, 19:00 Exhibition dates: June 18th - July 17th For any enquiry, please send us an emailBioSomewhere between the 1535 execution of Sir Thomas More and the year 2000, Charles Uzzell Edwards became the street artist known as Pure Evil. It’s a pairing of an odd lineage that has produced fanged bunnies and Warhol-esque portraiture famous throughout the streets and galleries of the world. A child of Contemporary London and Silicon Valley era San Francisco, Pure Evil is also a child of his times. His art of primarily modern icons expresses both biographical signature and western culture critique. His pop culture symbols are spewed, and therefore viewed, along the urban and artistic landscape from Sao Paulo to Sydney. It’s the artistic and commercial success that has allowed his London gallery to host shows for more than 60 independent artists. Pure Evil was born in the form of Charles Uzzell Edwards in South Wales in 1968. He grew up in a world of art thanks to his father, Welsh painter John Uzzell Edwards. The father’s artwork undoubtedly impacted his son, demonstrated in a range of influences from Cubism to Minimalism, from Picasso to Chagall. The physical and cultural landscape of the 1990’s U.S. intrigued and beckoned the young Pure Evil–upon completing his studies in graphics and fashion in London he set off for California’s West Coast. He established himself in San Francisco, working for the Anarchic Adjustment clothing label as a clothing designer / pattern cutter / graphic designer. He produced countless t-shirt graphics for screen printing, dropped in on the West Coast rave scene, and travelled to Japan where West Coast Streetwear was a hot item. Pure Evil also became involved in the musical fabric of San Francisco and recorded as an electronic recording artist for Pete Namlook’s ambient electronic music label, FAX (based in Frankfurt, Germany). Street art of course proved to be Pure Evil’s most important artistic discovery during those 10 years. Inspired by the initial influence of Twist and Reminisce, with a dose of skate culture thrown in, Pure Evil graced freeways with “Dump Bush” slogans and tagged gun stores as “Murderers.” But there was one image he couldn’t fulfil with graffiti or sketches–Pure Evil felt the pull of “Dirty London.” He returned to his homeland on the cusp of the new millennium. It was no coincidence that fang-sporting bunnies began appearing on the streets of “The Smoke.” The artist explained several years later in a BBC Blast interview that the bad bunny showed up one day in his sketchbook. The image came from a hare that he had killed with a shotgun in his youth and it had returned to haunt him for his past sins. The label “Pure Evil” went bag and baggage with the symbol, and the artist adopted the new name. Pure Evil always considered the moniker a bit over the top, and it has long since evolved into something of a joke for the artist. It does, however, justify his artistic excursions into the darker side of people and their social ills, a worldview that stems from his Catholic upbringing and is dominated by the theme good versus evil. It is also handy that the bunny takes a mere 5 seconds to create, which keeps you one step ahead of the police if you are marking the streets of a new city. The symbol proliferated, as rabbits often do, and so did Pure Evil. The artist began an association with the people involved in Bansky’s “Santa’s Ghetto,” and he started creating prints for Pictures on Walls. When the U.S. denied Pure Evil’s application for re-entry it was a ‘Deus ex Machina’ (Gods Machine) moment for him, where his life changed direction in a completely unplanned way. There was no return to the USA. The artist set up shop in a small shed in the Black Mountains of Wales. After a productive period of isolation and soul searching he moved back to London and prepared for his first Pure Evil exhibition in 2006. The success of those shows enabled him to open the Pure Evil Gallery in Shoreditch in London’s East End in late 2007, and the Department Store Gallery opened 2 doors down in 2014.

THE ATROCITY EXHIBITION, by Nuart Gallery on May 16, 2016 23:13:54 GMT 1,
THE ATROCITY EXHIBITION Curated by Martyn Reed
Galleri A / A Minor Preview 26th May May 27th-June 12th. Event page HERE
“Apocalypse. A disquieting feature of this annual exhibition — to which the patients themselves were not invited — was the marked preoccupation of the paintings with the theme of world cataclysm, as if these long-incarcerated patients had sensed some seismic upheaval within the minds of their doctors and nurses.”
JG Ballard “The Atrocity Exhibition”
Reed Projects and Nuart in association with Oslo's Galleri A and A Minor are proud to present "The Atrocity Exhibition", an exhibition of national and international artists titled after the JG Ballard novel of the same name. The show is dedicated to artists exploring the dirty underbelly of contemporary pop culture, celebrity politics, neo liberal economics and the alienation it contrives to create in order to thrive. We present 14 artists from across the globe, both studio based and "Street Artists" from Korea to the US, Spain to Canada, Finland to Norway.
The exhibition sets out to explore and present a series of themes common to both the late 1960’s (when the book was first published) and present day concerns. For many, The Atrocity Exhibition is J.G. Ballard’s most important work. It reads like an instruction manual in how to disrupt mass media and recontextualise technology. How are present day artists, In an era of smart phones, high speed internet access and the dawning of “smart” cities, portraying urban life?
“In a sense, the phrase “atrocity exhibition” is a strictly literal description of this media landscape as it emerged in the early 1960s, populated by images of Vietnam, the Kennedys, Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. The novel deals with the violence that haemorrhaged in the 1969 in which it was published: Manson, Altamont, War across the USA. But, for Ballard, the events of 1969 are merely the culmination of a decade whose guiding logic has been one of violence; a mediatized violence, where “mediatization” is a profoundly ambiguous term which doesn’t necessarily imply a disintensification. As they begin to achieve the instantaneous speed Virilio thinks characteristic of postmodern communication, media (paradoxically) immediatize trauma, making it instantly available even as they prepackage it into what will become increasingly preprogrammed stimulus-response circuitries.”
Mark Fischer
The parallels here with the rise of the right and the dominance of neo liberal economics in the shaping of our cities and culture should be obvious. Indeed, several of the artists come to Oslo direct from their success at Banksy’s recent award winning Dismaland show in the UK.
To be continued, not to be missed
