Neck Face – “No Mercy For The Weak” Exhibition at New Image Art Gallery
Aperta da poco l’ultima fatica del temibile Neck Face che torna a catapultarci all’interno del suo immaginario graffiate, con “No Mercy For The Weak” Neck Face propone negli spazi della New Image Art Gallery di Los Angeles uno show bello denso di lavori, si va dai quadri alle installazioni passando per giganteggianti scritte che richiamano un mondo violento e straziante ed immerso nella cultura rock. Per lo show l’interprete abbraccia ad ampie mani il suo inconfondibile stile con demoni e mostri sadici intrisi di un humor nero, presente poi un altare in memoria di The Night Stalker, ex detenuto da poco morto in carcere che ha spesso influenzato il lavoro dell’artista statunitense.
Last but not Least come da programma in occasione dello show Neck Face ci regala l’opportunità di acquistare una dei lavori in mostra, due serigrafie in edizione di centocinquanta ed accompagnate dal certificato di autenticità che se siete interessati potete acquistare direttamente qui, affrettarsi che vanno via come il pane!
Insomma un show bello pregno di stile che vi diamo modo di apprezzare al meglio attraverso una bella serie di scatti nell’ampia galleria fotografica, dateci un occhiata non mancheranno di divertirvi, specialmente la citazione su una certa fashion blogger italiana, e nel caso in cui foste in zona potete andare a darci un occhiata di persona fino al 22 di Settembre.
New Image Art is pleased to announce, “No Mercy For The Weak” an art show and print release by Neck Face. Neck Face’s latest print set was developed from his extensive study and research of bar room practices. Also featured in the show will be an altar to the Night Stalker (Richard Ramirez) who recently died in prison. The Night Stalker is one of Neck Face’s favorite inspirations.
In much of the same tradition of creating art from bar room drama by such great writers as Charles
Bukowski, Ernest Hemingway, and Jack London and such great artists as Vincent Van Gough (Night Café in the Place Lamatine in Arles), Ed Kienholz (Barney’s Beanery) and Toulouse Lautrec (Moulin Rouge), Neck Face also used his bar room observations to create his latest prints. The prints are portraits of demons in the depth of their darkness yet Neck Face manages to make the images hysterical and not so serious after all. By the way Neck Face says,” Don’t Drink and Drive.”
Neck Face exhibited alongside those considered most influential in American street culture in MOCA’s Art in the Streets exhibition. The event reintroduced the performer in Neck Face, whose portrayal of a down and out alley dweller brought him the first mention in the New York Times review of the graffiti and street art retrospective. His Halloween show openings have become notable charades celebrating the lurid and the ghastly complete with a haunted house entrance staged along with his family.
Neck Face’s aptitude for multi-media has also been seen in the production of metal masks, paper-mache sculptures and film. For this unique character and international figure of street culture, the true triumph lies in the pure harmony between his examination of the villain, the rogue and the nightmare and his unfaltering wit and fresh approach. Neck Face’s unmistakable illustrative style is maintained in the expansion of his medium to silk screened prints.
