Cool Hunting Video Presents: Dodi Wexler by Cool Hunting Video

In this video, CH visits the studio of Dodi Wexler, an American expat living in London, who creates finely detailed works out of materials like paper scraps, vintage stamps, beads and water bottle caps. The finished pieces almost always take on nebulous organic shapes and are usually collage-based, whether it's a spiraling gold-flecked map of Rome or a massive weaving of tiny paper strips that Dodi painstakingly glues together. Her handmade aesthetic reflects both an appreciation of found materials and intensively obsessive process.

You can almost predict what they are about to say, responding to you with compassion, yet keeping their guard up...

Baglione got his start as a street artist, painting huge figures onto the sidewalks and intersections of São Paulo throughout the '90s, but has since taken only to the galleries drawing on his street background. His latest work, "Two Broken Knees," projects...
Faile: Lost in Glimmering Shadows
by Ariston Anderson For London street art fans, the must see-show this week is Faile's "Lost in Glimmering Shadows," as they bring their inimitable prints and paintings across the Atlantic. The art collective's London show last year, "From Brooklyn with Love," sold out instantly, and led to an invitation from the TATE Modern Gallery to invite them to paint their exterior this past May.
