Behind the Seen by Wendy Dembo

Artists best known for their work in public often have an entirely private body of work that doesn't make it out into view. Recognizing this, Michael DeFeo (the Flower Guy) assembled Behind the Seen, an international group show featuring rarely seen artwork not typically associated with the artists.

Including work from Blek le Rat, Shepard Fairey, Ron English, Richard Hambleton, Keith Haring, Maya Hayuk, Caleb Neelon, Mark Jenkins, Lady Pink, Lee, Swoon, Dan Witz and many more, there are certain to be surprises in the form of work that looks quite unlike what's expect from its creator.

"I'm thrilled with this opportunity to bring old and new schools together,” says curator Michael DeFeo, “and I'm so grateful to each and every artist in this show for allowing themselves to share their lesser known works.”

The work pictured (click for detail) is called "Fallout" and is by Caleb Neelon, who's also partly responsible for the new book Street World.

by Ariston Anderson Like many post-industrial cities in America, a loss of factory jobs in Braddock, Pennsylvania has led to urban flight.

Their goal is to "use the creative process and locally identified resources to...
Buff Monster: The Sweetest Thing
L.A.-based artist Buff Monster is doing what he does best (bubbly, mostly pink creatures and shapes) for his latest show, "The Sweetest Thing," opening next week at Culver City's Corey Helford Gallery. Influences like "heavy metal, porn, Japanese kawai culture, and ice cream" are evident in his creepy-cute compositions which often feature a character, the "Happy Squirter," made of breast-shaped parts with cherries frequently...
