Mear One ๐บ๐ธ Street Art โข New Print Release , by Baurmann Gallery on Aug 24, 2010 10:29:12 GMT 1, The feedback is very much appreciated from you both (thanks for your thoughtful insights & commentaries)...these have been developed through many long years of honing his techniques, especially through his live art pieces. The finished result of these has truly manifested in a really cohesive yet very diverse series of work.
This was his own personal words on them:
"The Mono Distortion,(Mono-Mimic)
Several years ago I was pondering my Live Art juxtaposed with my print work and wanted to find a bridge. I experimented and came up with the Mono-Distortion and called it โM1โ and it was a phoenix on top of a distressed hand done buff job like walls on the streets. I added a lot of sketch work and juicy tags with thick oil base Dalo Markers. The end result was like nothing ive ever done and I felt altered from the experience.
My philosophy on the distortions is as we head into these easy times to create art from photoshoping internet flicks learning graffiti in an art school, there seems to be a lack attitude in things that take time or effort, things that mean somthing other than compinsation or simple fame. My endeavor would consist as a challenge to my self to re-create my relationship to art and my relationship to the experience of doing it. I pull from my live painting experiences styles that I developed through hundreds of live art nights.
My new project is published through the Baurmann Gallery and consist of an edition of 33 individual variances of what I call โSketches Of Babylonโ โA Pictorial Montage Of The Deterioration Of The Western Worldโ. In a few days my good friend and documentarian Roger Griffith will have a video we made of the process, stay tuned. It is a chicy post apocalyptic city scape under destruction or construction. A void space full of emptiness and history, a place of ideas and dreams."

Mear One ๐บ๐ธ Street Art โข New Print Release , by Baurmann Gallery on Nov 11, 2010 23:18:06 GMT 1, Huge art show tonight w/ MEAR ONE, Augustine Kofie, Retna, Chor Boogie, HACER, Becca, The Date Farmers, Sonia Romero, Cryptik, Abcnt, and others.
Below is the info & some process shots of the installation:
mura.martreg.com/lamdesigncenter/index.cfm/sourcela/
A fresh, gallery-inspired collection of custom design furnishings, unique home fashions and accessories, hand-crafted objects, and original works of art from the regionโs most progressive interior product designers, artists and craftsmen emerging on the cutting-edge of California design.
ART INSTALLATION
Curated by the L.A. ART MACHINE, this inaugural installation focuses on the contemporary urban experience with a carefully curated exhibition of original sculpture, paintings and prints by legendary West Coast street artists, sculptors, and printmakers. Featured artists include MEAR ONE, Augustine Kofie, Retna, HACER, Becca, The Date Farmers, Sonia Romero, Cryptic, Absnt, and others.
Since the rise of urban art in the U.S. in the 1970โs, California artists have been at the vanguard of a new visual language that both defines and describes the contemporary urban experience and the environs of the West Coast metropolis. All self-taught, these artists elevate the subversive arts from the streets to established fine art venues, further challenging gallery and museum paradigms and establishing a new artistic vocabulary that is fresh, compelling, and unpredictable.
