‘Get Rich Quick’ opens at Carmichael Gallery…

The Carmichael Gallery just opened ‘Get Rich Quick’ – an all-star group show of after market works from the collections of the gallery’s patrons including: Adam Neate, Antony Micallef, Banksy, Barry McGee, Bast, D*Face, Dalek, David Choe, David Choong Lee, Faile, Herbert Baglione, Ian Francis, KAWS, Nick Walker, Paul Insect, Shepard Fairey, Sixeart, Skullphone, Space Invader, Swoon, Will Barras and many more. The buzz on this one was large, and the gallery was packed throughout the evening. Made the trek out to the gallery with Allison Sommers and Joao Ruas in tow…

Wall of KAWS goodness…

An iconic Faile from their 1st show up at Fifty24SF… had for $150 originally… god bless the art market… now $15K (not much more than a few years later)…

By far the monster piece of the show from the one and only BANKSY…

Fellow Brazilians meet for the 1st time – Joao Ruas with Thais Beltrame…

Whose ‘When All The Stars Are Gone’ solo also opened in conjunction with ‘Get Rich Quick’. Profiled here in an earlier post, the works of Beltrame need to be viewed in person, as does her delicatley intricate constellation installation.

Mr. Jago news…

Opening February 12th at The Old Truman Brewery (where the legendary ‘Spank The Monkey’ exhibit was held a couple years back) in London is the Artists 11 group show featuring new works from D*Face, Dan Baldwin, Eine, Pure Evil, Pete Fowler, Gerald Laing, Andrew McAttee, Blek le Rat, Mr. Jago (image featured above), Nick Walker, and Xenz. Each artist has produced large life-sized works of art that will be auctioned off at Bonhams in late February in aid of the Prostate Cancer Charity.

The dimensions of the featured canvases are those of an average man; the life size work emphasises the real life problem faced by the 35,000 men who are diagnosed with prostate cancer in the UK every year. For more info on this show and auction, please visit http://www.artists11.com/

In other Mr. Jago news, look for him to be featured in the upcoming March issue of Juxtapoz magazine. Super excited that he’s getting this well deserved feature.

Looking ahead, we’ll be hosting Mr. Jago this August in our project room during the big ModArt curated show and plans are already underway for a solo in our main gallery in 2010. Can’t wait!
