"From the Streets of Iran"Works on Paper by Urban Artist from Iran" Opening Reception:September 10th, 2009 from 6pm to 9pm(During the Downtown Artwalk) Show runs thru September 26th, 2009 Crewest presents From the Streets of Iran, Works on paper by urban artists in Iran, curated by Shervin Shahbazi. This exhibit is the first of its kind in the U.S. featuring graffiti-based works on paper by ICY, SOT, FRZ, MAD, and CK1. These artists have exhibited their work in Europe and Australia, and this is their United States debut. The artists draw inspiration from Iran’s rich heritage of calligraphy, visual arts, revolution and the state in which they live, as well as their exposure to graffiti and urban art in the West. Their work encompasses a broad range of subject matter—from urbanism and political resistance to scenes of everyday people and the innocence of youth.

Crewest Gallery. The only Graffitti Gallery of its kind in Los Angeles.
