Opening tommorow night (March 9th) at London's newly prestigious Lazarides Gallery is From Brooklyn With Love, Faile's first solo exhibit in the United Kingdom. The guys have been busy, coming off the Burning House show in Los Angeles. This exhibit will help catapult both the collective and their prices into orbit. Here is a brief snippet from the press release...
"From Brooklyn With Love presents a group of 45 painted wooden sculptures, and
new large-scale paintings including ‘It Happens Everyday’, 2006, where a glamorous woman is about to be swallowed by a huge monster, illustrated at the top of this release. The works in the exhibition present a series of classic FAILE images such
as the ‘Bunny Boy’ and ‘Bunny Girl’ two figures both cuddling a bunny up to their
face, ‘Forbidden Love’ an image of a wolf-man juxtaposed with two glamour girls,
and ‘Sinful Pleasures’ – an image of Ganesha and a curled snake. These images
are all built up from fragments from disparate sources such as comics, books,
signage and magazines."
The exhibit runs through April 7th
