Blend - Group Exhibition hosted by 34FineArt

Blend
Group Exhibition
OPENING AT 34FineArt, BUCHANAN SQUARE, WOODSTOCK
December 11 – January 26, 2013

34FineArt is pleased to announce the opening of a new group exhibition, Blend, opening in December. Coinciding with the end of year festivities, Blend offers a retrospective of the year at the Gallery as well as including exciting new works.

The exhibition features an eclectic array of work from various artists in a number of mediums, offering viewers a chance to see Art as more than a sum of its parts and in all its complimentary forms.

Despite the multiplicity of works on display, Blend frames each piece as a coextension and enhancement of the former, and the next. All art contributes a voice to the harmony of the genre of Art, at its heart perhaps still a language of common expression and purpose.

Various nationalities, cultures and generations are also represented in the exhibition. Works by internationally renowned artists, Mr. Brainwash, Takashi Murakami and Shepard Fairey are again included, as well as other international artists such as AME72 and T.WAT. A number of other artists well-known on the South African art scene are also represented, with works by Esther Mahlangu, Asha Zero, Jade Doreen Waller, Motel7, Lionel Smit and Paul du Toit.

For the first time, the gallery will also show works by Warren Peterson and RTX, as well as featuring the latest sculptures and painting from acclaimed South African artist Norman Catherine.
With a broad spectrum of works, Blend will appeal to those interested in both the local and international art scenes.
The exhibitions runs from the 11th of December into the new year. There will be no evening opening reception.

Hot rods, dragons and cover-up

First Session on the hot rod tattoo on my main man Freddy. This tattoo Was started by Mark Elliot  from mirage tattoos

Fun little wolf cover up, There was a little sea horse that owned this part of the ankle, but the wolf has since taken over.

Started this sleeve a few weeks ago, we are working around existing tattoos, so the Dragon is what I did and the background. The other symbols are what we are working around. I'm keen to get the rest of the dragon done, I love black and gray and super huge dragons... 

De les Meurte with her blood hound

Rad half-sleeve I started today, was totally feeling the concept and I think its going to turn out super dope.
Stay tuned to see the end result in a few weeks.

Tattoos all day every day

This was a fun hit, did it on my voyage to middle earth at Black Concepts,
Angelo over here wanted an angelic half sleeve. He supplied some reference ideas but
when I picked up that marker and started drawing on his arm..we strayed away from that references. This was the end result. He sat like a champ and it turned out rad.

This dude brought in a logo and wanted it in honor of his grand dad...
I stayed true the original logo but instead of doing it as a solid vector like graphic, we decided to do something different.
Just another day in the office at Sins of Style.
