Opening Reception: Thursday September 10 2009 / 7.00pm – 10.00pm
Please RSVP to rsvp@carmichaelgallery.com
Exhibition Dates: September 10 – October 1
Address: Carmichael Gallery / 1257 N. La Brea Ave / West Hollywood CA 90038
Carmichael Gallery invites you to attend an exhibition of all new Hollywood-themed paintings, video and photography by British artist collective The London Police. Internationally recognized for their artwork, toy design and street interventions, this is their first solo show with Carmichael Gallery.
“Brothers in Arms” is a celebration of The London Police’s ten year anniversary. The show features works on canvases, a photographic montage, a site-specific installation and a short film documenting the artists’ creative process. The show’s title reflects both the film (a social experiment about personal space and the artistic and private challenges presented while handcuffed to another person) and the brotherly friendship of partners Chaz and Bob, who have withstood a decade of adventures around the world to present their most focused and exciting body of work yet. This new series of boldly monochromatic pieces pay homage to the city of angels and the classic films of their childhood, such as “Back to the Future” and “Star Wars”. Recognizable imagery is integrated into the symbolic London Police world of smiling characters and futuristic cityscapes. Building upon successful shows in London and Amsterdam during the spring, the collective’s synthesis of high and low culture in “Brothers in Arms” allows for a greater conversation of aesthetics, psychology and globalization.
Read the complete press release here.
Please contact art@carmichaelgallery.com to request an exhibition preview.

Thursday September 10, 2009 - In the front gallery Disillusion a solo exhibition of new work by Dan Baldwin. In the rear gallery Brothers in Arms a solo exhibiton of new work by The London Police.

"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.

Nuts n Blots & ever on the go...

As most things go, one must bang their own drum from time to time. No different when having your own business. The imergence of the internet into the hands of our new generation at the helm know all too well, "if....................................

..........you're not out their gloating from time to time about you & your crew, meeting your clientel, showing up to the events you sponsor, give aways, blog, events, pissing people off, giving away stickers, trade shows, send stickers out", you're business is all but through. No doubt, Sticky Ricks' is the SHIT job to have. But it is work when you break it down too. Is so important to be good & commit to something. Is an awesome feeling to see people & events develop and grow from something you contributed or did in order to help someone elses endeavor. Not looking for compensation. Is important to to have a support system for artists. I would hope more artists would support one another. No ego, just making art. Changing the way people look at yours & my world is important. Sticky Ricks' has been making a difference since the fall of 05', printing stickers, putting on art shows & kicking the door (so-to speak) in order to say "sticker art is an legitimate art form". The Risen Magazine article takes a quick look into the world of stickers from the eyes of Sticky Ricks & Peel Here.....read more, here is the link www.risenmagazine.com/category/art/sticky-rick

Hit me up if you read this far down, I'll send you a Hit & Run Tee shirt. Every shirt has a Sticky Rick hit as well......Stay Sticky~
