Urban Art Show featuring artists from Italy and America
Matthew Rodriguez (USA), Doodles (USA), DEM (Italy),
Claudius Phaedrus(USA), and Geometric Bang (Italy)
โThe youth of the world need to be nourished with elements of the counterculture to live happily in this bizarre, chaotic world. I want people to see that art doesnโt have to be beautiful and realistic, just honest and heartfelt.โย
- Artist Nick Mann, aka Doodles
(19th June, 2009, Hong Kong) -- apostrophe gallery / The Design Department / Signature Communications invites visitors to experience CCTV is an installation curated by May Wong and will showcase the innovations of 5 young and accomplished street artists from the U.S. and Italy. Apostrophe Gallery chooses international and emerging artists, creating exhibitions inspired by music, design, politics and the urban environment.
Taking the street art into the perimeter of a 900 sq. ft. recently abandoned office space, expect to see collaborative wall paintings as well as original work pushing the limits with collage, wheat pasting and more. CCTV is a mysterious installation armed with surveillance cameras implying the notions of voyeurism, invasion of privacy, and catching criminals. From the vicolo of Milan to the urban chasms of Austin, TX., juxtaposed against a conventional idyll of Central's polished cityscape, catch a fleeting glimpse of these eerie and fantastical crooks, creatures and characters comes to life.
The artists in this exhibition share a poetic and whimsical visual language in their gallery work communicating with urbanites to maintain a connection to humanity through โcharacter designโ โ the use of imaginative characters as a means to illustrate emotions and stories.

Through a HK g allergy Kusama was about the biggest name to have whole room.
