GRAFFIK GALLERY / CARTRAIN - THIS WAY UP / 17.05.-30.05.13

Notorious offender of all things art Cartrain returns with a provocative solo show THIS WAY UP. At age 20, Cartrain has been painting his iconic street art on the streets of London since he was 14.

In 2008 Damien Hirst attempted to prosecute Cartrain for creating a series of artworks that "infringed" Hirst's copyright.

JUNICHI TSUNEOKA / PORTFOLIO

Junichi Tsuneoka was born and raised in Japan and, upon graduating Waseda University in Tokyo, arrived in the US at the end of the 20th Century. Being a graphic designer at Modern Dog Design Co. for six years really made a great impact on Junichi’s design career. Because of that experience, Junichi established a style often recognized as “California Roll Stylie,” the result of both a visual and conceptual fusion of Japanese pop culture and American urban culture.

ALICE PASQUINI / CAVE OF TALES

Alice's work, which recalls a prehistoric grotto from the third century, makes its appearance in the "underground" at the Casa dell'Architettura, which is housed in the former Rome aquarium. The space was previously painted by artists Lucamaleonte, Diamond, Omino71, and Mr. Klevra.

LA PETITE MORT GALLERY / ANDREW SALGADO - THE SMALLEST HEART`S DESIRE / 03.05.-26.05.2013

The Smallest Heart’s Desire references the scale of the paintings themselves, as well as the narrative explored throughout. In my most recent (previous) solo exhibition, I took a conceptual look at misanthropy, and with these works, I continue this journey: the smallest heart is a metaphor for my own shortcomings and the process I have taken, and continue to take, toward resolution. The eponymous desire refers to that pursuit toward fulfillment so relevant and specific to each of us.
