l'Atlas returns to New York for a show at the Catherine Ahnell Gallery entitled '[space]' from 15 May to 22 June.  Here's a couple of pictures of the show print which is currently being produced at Idem Paris:




Also, l'Atlas has a whole bunch of timelapse videos of him producing his larger installation work on his Vimeo page.  I've only posted a couple below to avoid spamming this thread but the rest can be found here.



Lastly, here's a great video of French digital artist Miguel Chevalier's latest installation at Église du Sacré-Cœur in Casablanca:

Only just seen this video. Awesome.

Not letterform in its strictest sense I know but I spend my time making unique monoprints from antique wood type. Anyway there's a selection of stuff up on www.printscharles.bigcartel.com

Really liking this style Prints Charles - the YEAH one is fantastic! Would love to hear/ see more about the technique and see more work in this vein.

I've mentioned Morran ben Lahcen on a previous post about Moroccan street art but I'm really impressed with the development of his work.  He's currently got a show at David Bloch in Marrakesh entitled '[Horizontal]' which runs through until 10 June.

Where is the print available from? 

David Bloch Gallery is great to deal with. Top guys and a really exciting gallery.

Really like this also

OK, so none of the below have anything to do with graffiti or street art but who cares.

Youssef Abdelke
Abdelke recently had exhibitions in both Paris and Beirut including the work below.  Of the three artists I mentioned in my previous post about Syrian art I think Abdelke is the only one still living in Syria, which I think is incredibly brave and noble considering he was a political prisoner for two years under Hafez al-Assad and was again imprisoned last year by Bashar al-Assad.  I think it's genuinely important that there are people like Abdelke documenting what's happening to ordinary people in Syria in a way that photojournalist perhaps can't and communicating it to the rest of the world.


Sara Shamma
Shamma has a small show at the Royal College of Art towards the end of last year including a 16.5 metre long canvas, but I think this was my favourite piece.  The show was about the changes and behaviour of people at war and under threat, rather than the political side of the situation.


Khaled Akil
Akil is based in Aleppo and his work is towards the fine art end of the photographic spectrum but his portraits beautifully capture the soul and character of his subjects.  This piece is from a recent exhibition in Turkey.

eL Seed has just finished this piece on the side of L'Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris:


The building itself is stunning and well worth a visit if you're ever in Paris.  Every window has a light-sensitive aperture which automatically opens and closes depending on the strength of the sun:

Agree. He been on the mandala thing for awhile now. Nice on the pick up of Zepha shoeless. My Ben Frost Employer of the Month 24x24 turned up this morning. Had to pay customs on it was £3.55 and then they throw £8 on it for "handling". Bloody jokers

Sorry, but what exactly to you is reusing images and what images are you looking at?


(L-R) Mantra Mandela I - The Jewel In The Lotus - The Jewel In The Lotus (Gold Leaf)

I think even at a quick glance it is obvious to most that none of them are the same... much less the two releases next week are most likely not even from the same screens at all. 

You might take more than a simple glance at beautiful pieces of art by an extremely talented artist before you discount something to your eye is being exactly the same. Please do not go for this release if you do not like it, but be educated when you take a stand.

He is not just an artist he is trying to start a movement (you might want to read it in his "about" section). I think he is off to a great start.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, no?
At quick glance, they are the same. Upon further study, a slight difference can be seen. I stand by my point though. The images are too similar. 

Not educated on the artist? Hardly. I think what the artist is doing is great! He has talent and respectable values. I contacted him about a commission piece as well....though decided against it. 

Personally, I am not a fan of......rehashing images. It seems lazy to me. He has open editions which fit that model better. Again, just my opinion and not an attack on the artist or the quality of work. No need to take offense.
