French artist and photographer JR has built an incredible reputation through art and philanthropy. Spanning the world over in his exploits, JR’s latest stop takes him to Hong Kong with a recent exhibition opening at Galerie Perrotin. Much of JR’s work centers around bringing to light the marginalized. The city of Hong Kong has long had major socioeconomic issues with a strong disparity between the extremely rich and the poor. Titled “PATTERN,” the exhibition combined aspects of JR’s well-documented INSIDE OUT series on select installations involving metal and woodwork to further accentuate and reappropriate his cause. The exhibition will run until November 10, 2012.

One Art Space is pleased to present:  “The Struggle” by El Hase

 “The Struggle” explores popular aesthetics featuring emblematic figures of boxing icons and characters from classic horror movies.  Incorporating a diverse collection of found objects and various mixed media, El Hase, a pioneer of Venezuelan graffiti and urban art, presents a series of pieces and installations in which he displays his figures with distressing expressions and threatening postures, relating them to images from B-movies and horror films and referencing the constant struggle of graffiti artists and skateboarders to legitimize their art.

“In this series of work I want to express what’s going through my head when I walk at night on the dark streets of Caracas, my hometown, and to portray that feeling I rescue street objects at night  from the dark streets of Brooklyn”.

 “The Struggle” By Sergio Barrios (El Hase) will be on view from Thursday,  September 20 through Saturday, September 29 Viewing hours are from 6 –9 PM.

Drew Young's work currently focuses on lost and found adolescence. He believes we live in a world that is self-indulgent in primal behavior and lost in a wilderness of forgotten morality and values. The Vancouver, BC-based Young's images strongly reflect our own life experiences of these dark and visceral moments and places. If anything, he's giving us an external view of our own slef-gratifying exploits.

In 2008, Shepard Fairey’s “Hope” poster for Barack Obama’s presidential campaign became a symbol of inspiration and optimism.  Yesterday, four years later in New York, Fairey received a sentence of two years probation and a $25,000 fine in federal court for his the same poster. Fairey had initially sued The Associated Press after they accused the artist of copyright infringement, claiming one of their photographs was used in creating the poster. 

In his suit he claimed to use a different photograph but later admitted to destroying documents and submitting false images in the case. The prosecutors were seeking a prison sentence, howver the artists charity work and letters of support played a big part in the decision. The artist was quoted in saying that his actions have been not only “Financially and psychologically costly to myself and my family, but also helped to obscure what I was fighting for in the first place —- the ability of artists everywhere to be inspired and freely create art without reprisal."

The 2012 London Olympics went out with many a bang, by closing in a spectacular, star-studded affair celebrating some of Britain’s greatest commercial and artistic talents in the worlds of art, music and fashion. One of those special talents belonged to Damien Hirst — an English artist and entrepreneur, whose unique spin on the Union Jack filled the length and breadth of the stadium grounds. Unlike many of the renditions featured throughout the games, Hirst’s take on it utilized the artist’s signature spin-style motif, although this particular effort was highly likely to be his largest installation yet.

Who says the news is boring? Korean artist Yun-Woo Choi creates amazingly complex, motion-filled sculptures out of old newspapers and magazines, taking new meaning of the concept of recycling. Something about the news and information, and the way we process it, being turned into a massive, fluid, complex movement is quite a statement.

Fashion photographer Daryl Banks seeks to "simulate the intricate beauty of [macro flower photography] with crinolines, legs and hosiery." The resulting series lies somewhere between nature photography and upskirt shots of can-can dancers (with a dose of the Wicked Witch of the East for good measure). Banks is based in Toronto, Canada.

"Born in the Macedonian city of Skopje, Marko was influenced by numerous creatives across various mediums from a very young age – Alan Moore, Sergio Leone, Peter Jackson, David Fincher, Piet Mondrian, Kazimir Malevich, and Jasper Johns, to name a few. All of these individuals have had a specific and profound impact on his development as an artist. His minimalist style is reminiscent of Banksy and his work looks more like something you’d find in a fine art gallery than on the walls of teenage comics book fan’s bedrooms. Following completion of his studies at the University of Ss. Cyril and Methodius, Marko took his talents global. Bridging the Atlantic Ocean gap, he is not only spreading his ideas, but also his passion for why he creates his art. He has already penned a handful of graphic novels that combine stunning visuals as well as unique storylines. His piece “The Way of the Sword” delves into the internal struggle of a samurai who is fighting his inner demons while his story “Icebreaker” shows his audience two crew members who talk about the problems and potential of mankind."
