After announcing the biggest solo exhibition of New York artist Eric Haze a while back, we can give you a detailed look at the works on display today. The artist presents both paintings and sculptures in the exhibition, building on the iconic style that we know from Haze. The hybrid of fine art and design is very much apparent in a lot of works, working mostly with arrows, symbols and lines.

We get a first detailed look at the Gardener 10th exhibition that we have been reporting about heavily these last weeks. Taking place at De La Barracuda in Los Angeles, the exhibition will showcase many old and many new figures by the Hong Kong based artist Michael Lau. Collaborators include Terry Richardson, The Hundreds and many others. The artist has been referencing streetculture and action sports culture for many years already, along with other inspirations such as music. The amount of figures, collaborations and special product being released for the occasion is definitely amazing, so we can only advise you to pass by should you be in the area.

Today the “Odyssey Two” Exhibition by Futura opened in Berlin. The artist himself was in place as well and showcased an impressive set of new works. Large scale paintings were presented along with some nice hand-drawn scatches. It was impressive to see how quickly the works sold out.

The show focuses on the dual themes of memory and the past, and the influence these have on an individual’s imagined world. Futura’s obsessions with space and hyperindustrial landscapes grew from his adolescence: a time when man first landed on the moon, and when the New York skyline soared with a mass of fresh skyscrapers. But the world in his pieces is entirely unique – a place that has developed in his mind over time, where remnants of earlier memories co-exist with imagined, abstract landscapes.Futura’s latest pieces show an artist comfortable in the world he has created, making accomplished works that use monochrome and occasional, frenetic bursts of outline to perfectly convey mood, atmosphere and situation, without the need for graphic symbols.

In case you will be in Berlin this week, make sure to go by.

We have announced the exhibition a couple of weeks ago and now that is has opened we can finally give you a look at some of the stand-out pieces. The much anticipated Takashi Murakami x Kanye West bear sculpture comes in a series of metals and also a painted colorway. But the sculpture is only one of many nice pieces to be featured in the exhibition, which is currently going on at the Emmanuel Perrotin Gallery in Paris. Kanye West also attended the opening of the exhibition.

Odyssey Two is the upcoming exhibition by Futura and it runs throughout Art Forum Berlin and brings together 20 years of the urban art pioneer’s work. Significant new pieces will be on display, alongside key works such as the original iconic Pointman canvas and a collection of early Pointman sketches.

The show focuses on the dual themes of memory and the past, and the influence these have on an individual’s imagined world. Futura’s obsessions with space and hyperindustrial landscapes grew from his adolescence: a time when man first landed on the moon, and when the New York skyline soared with a mass of fresh skyscrapers.

Collector’s will be able to buy an accessible selection of key pieces in the creation of Futura’s world: study pieces provide entry level works; there will be a trademark Pointman series and a limited print run. There will also be a small number of recent abstract canvases presented in the environment of their creation. The exhibition is produced in conjunction with Artorial.

The new Mike Shinoda “Glorious Excess (Dies)” exhibition will be opening soon at the Japanese American National Museum. We get a nice preview of the works on display.

“It’s stunning ~ a definite must see ~ and what’s nice is that besides the fact that the work is technically beautiful and a fun mix of skulls, urban art, “vanitas”, mixed media wallpapering with gossip rags, a casket and silver skeleton, video and more… the way it all comes together as a thought provoking look at the life (and death) of celebrity through paparazzi and the consumption engine behind it all is fascinating ~ especially coming from Shinoda who is most known for Linkin Park and Fort Minor, and he is also an Art Center trained graphic artist and illustrator.”

After successful collaborations with Arik Roper and Ed Repka, Mishka has decided to continue their legacy of working with the finest artists that encapsulate the twisted and macabre. This summer, Mishka has teamed up with artist Richard “French” Sayer for three new shirts. French’s usage of twisted, ghoulish images, plus an undying love for everything metal, made the partnership an inevitable one for Mishka.

French’s latest shirt design for Mishka drops July 30, 2009 at the Cursed Scrolls art show at Mishka’s flagship store 350. Cursed Scrolls runs for six weeks and will host the opening party on Thursday July 30th at 350 Broadway. All three shirts will be available at Mishka’s online store and at 350.

Today we get a nice look at the recent exhibition of artist Reach and photographer Yone. The two artists got together for a collaborative exhibition in Hong Kong at Partouze and fused the two mediums that they work in. The outcome is interesting and well worth checking out, not that we would have expected anything else. At the opening they also had a live painting session that you can check out along with the exhibition in the video above. Via Hypebeast.
