Miss Lady Aiko and Brooklynite Gallery combine forces to bring you “ SHUT UP and LOOK.”A solo show which will feature her well known stencil and spray paint work under one roof. A bit more info about Aiko and her show here from Brooklynite:
“An exploration of female form and character, caught between the two places AIKO calls home: Brooklyn and Tokyo. Powerful towering visions of feminine identity, in all its mystical facets of nurturing guidance and devious seduction, peer from the gentle decay of their surroundings.
This will be her first solo venture since recent split from FAILE collective where she was a founding member, and created her now iconic visions of fairy tale nightmares and pulp-fiction seduction. Free to explore the themes of romance, morality, and religion that were at times, only glimmers within those formerly pooled images —each canvas is a fully realized and independent spirit.
Combining her mastery of stenciling, with brushwork and spray-paint to recreate the urban decay of her work on the city streets, her integral contributions to the collective become apparent, as these urban vixens embody all the sexuality, spirit, and pop-culture sensibilities that informed her earlier work.”
A special guest in attendance of this show will be none other than legendary Soul Sonic Force. They will be performing on the opening night of this show on September 13th at 7-9 PM. This will definitely be a night to remember for those who join in on the festivities. Legends of hip-hop and a legend of the graff world all on one night. [Via Juxtapoz]
