Dalek has a great project unveiling tomorrow night called ‘Chaos on the edge of reasoning’. A huge 37 foot mural artwork has been created which will be cut up and sold off in various sized chunks over the coming days. I would kill to see this in reality, the colours look like they’d take the eye out of you. More information here.

We had the great pleasure to welcome Harry Pearce of Pentagram to Dublin for OFFSET 2009. The video of this fascinating presentation is now online…enjoy!

Michael Genovese is an artist who started painting signs and swimming pools in Chicago, and this background seeps into his work in projects like “Lo que puedes pagar” (Hand lettering project,Chicago). Where he approached Junk Collectors and “I solicit my art as a service by approaching them in the alley and offer to paint signs on the truck for what they can afford.” The written word is central to much of Michaels work, whether in the form of sign writing, tags, engraving or Audience participatory public art projects. Go check out his site and more pics after the jump.

I first met Other a few years ago when we did a show in The Bernard Shaw in Dublin. He’s one of life great gentlemen and his work is still deeply moving and evocative. He’s been doing some tasty street work in New York over the last few weeks. He’s also cutting some lovely little linoleum prints that he’s selling on his Flickr pages. They’re great value and all the cash goes to fund his new lino cut book project.

A cool timelapsed video of Dalek painting the headquarters of clothes label Hurley. We are always in awe of Dalek’s work and this is a great look at his process especially on such a large scale.

Wow. These paintings (all oil on canvas) are mind-blowingly amazing. So haunting. They go way beyond their expert technique… I can’t stop looking at them. They are the work of recent Pennsylvania Fine Arts graduate Michael Ciervo. Go visit his site right now here.
