Sweet Toof Show
Pandemic Gallery
22 Waverly Street, Brooklyn, NYC
Great show created from scratch only a couple months ago. A ton of work here that fills every bit of space in this unique, huge gallery space here in Brooklyn. A bit of a hike to get here, but well worth it. It’s a chanced to own some Sweet Toof at a very affordable price. Check it out!
Paul Insect Show

Great show by one of London’s most famous practioner of street art. Very Pop like paintings with his trademark style. We met him in person and he’s really an affable guy. Great to meet him and check out this show. It’s great!
Jerk Face
Cartoon Villain
Bottleneck Gallery (UTB)
60 Broadway, Brooklyn
Great show of “Villains” in the trademark, Jerk Face style. This is his first solo show and the paintings look amazing. Most all are in a square format and really bring a consistent pop aesthetic to the work. First show, check it out.

Mature show for Jose Parla. THe work is getting more abstract and nuanced and layered. The show features 2 giant Berlin Wall style pieces when you walk in as well as a back wall that is completely worked and covered in motion that is strictly Magenta. Cool Show, Check it out.

Crash
Broken English
Jonathan Levine Gallery
Pictured above is John “Crash” Matos and Monica Welsh at the gallery opening for Broken English. Amazing show with very tight canvasses cropped to contain the frenetic, yet very pop-y sensibilities of the canvases. Bright colors and a very cool 80’s vibe that feels timeless. These would be great pieces to own. Be sure to check out the Museum of New York City’s show entitled City as Canvas. It features Crash’s work as well as a huge trove of seminal early NYC graffiti from the collection of Martin Wong. Check it out.
JUXTAPOZ MAGAZINE This is a celebration of the San Francisco magazine that helped define and celebrate urban alternative and underground contemporary art. Plenty of street and outsider art represented and celebrated by this magazine. Largest circulating arts magazine in America. This is special, check it out.
Swoon
“Submerged Motherlands”
Brooklyn Museum
A beautiful room-filling installation of Swoon’s work, based on Hurricane Sandy. It features an awe inspiring rag tree that rises 72 feet to the Atrium’s ceiling as well as 2 “boats” that were handcrafted and sailed during the Venice Biennial. I love complete take-overs of rooms in museums. This might be one of the best.
