In continuation of Katowice Street Art Festival – part 1, this is the second part and conclusion to a two-part series on the Katowice Street Art Festival, which took place last month.

Katowice Street Art Festival took place the southern Polish city last month form the 20th-29th. The festival featured a world-renowned line up of artists, and the energy surrounding them allowed a few local artists a chance to exhibit some work as well. Here are some more of the completed murals, and an interesting collaboration between Mark Jenkins and Moneyless; the only two artists involved whose work primarily consist of sculptures.

Takeshi Miyakawa tried to hang a series of lit plastic bags, like the one shown above, around Greenpoint, Brooklyn recently. Now he is being held without bail; essentially because these bags were perceived to be a bomb threat. A judge had determined that he should be detained for 30 days for a mental heath evaluation. Has Jillian Steinhauer wrote at Hyperallergic, “Sure, hanging a plastic bag with wires coming out of it in a city as terrorism-obsessed as ours may not be the best idea — but no bail and a mental health evaluation? Really?” Hyperallergic has more on the ridiculous, scary and unfortunate story.

Jermaine was commissioned by the legendary band Primus to create a print for their recent appearance in New York. Coordinated by the amazing artist (and close associate of the band) Zoltron, Jermaine was given complete creative control by the band. What resulted was a tribute to two very influential artists whom, sadly, we tragically just lost. Here's what Jermaine had to say: 'So recently, 2 people who were artistically very influential to how i think and what i 'see', passed away from this physical plane... I will never forget, after reading one of my favorite books for the 10,000th time, lying in my bed at night as a kid and closing my eyes tight and hoping that, when i opened them, there'd be a jungle growing in my room. I also will never remember the first time i flipped on the radio and heard a guy whose name was MCA...and he said he had a license to kill. 2 champions of 'freedom'...for the inner world and the outer world. Eternal energy on the march! . I hope you all enjoy how I expressed myself.' This print measures approx. 24x18 inches and is part of a limited regular edition of only 200 signed and numbered prints on white gallery stock: 50 of the prints went to the band and their families, and 100 were available at the show, where they promptly sold out. We have 50 of the regular edition, a handful of which will be available. First come, first served. 50.00 - PRIMUS (Huntington, NY) FOIL VARIANT - The Primus print is available on holographic sparkle foil stock, in an extremely limited edition of only 40 signed and numbered prints. NOTE - ALL OF THE ABOVE ITEMS WILL BE RELEASED FOR SALE ON WED., MAY 23RD AT 3:00 PM EASTERN (12 NOON PACIFIC) at JermaineRogers.com First come, first served. There will also be several surprise items listed as well.

Murcia-based muralist Sam3 is in Catalonia to attend the first edition of the Fahr Festival. the Spaniard just finished painting "Arbol", a fantastic and huge new mural featuring his signature shadow technique on the streets of Amposta. Sometimes ironic, other times poetic, always thought provoking, his work is as usual more than a pretty picture.

Berlin-based artist Matthew Davis creates these surreal images by using his brush to slowly drip oil paints into small pools. After each color dries over a period of several days a new layer is added resulting in a dense, multi-dimensional surface. [VIA]

Last Friday evening at FFDG marked the opening of Dave Kinsey's first solo show in San Francisco in over a decade (previewed). This longtime Los Angeles artist recently moved away from the city, to a much quieter town near the Sequoia National Forrest and has created a body of work that has become more abstract, but still incorporates his recognizable figurative characters. Lost For Words features a series of textured mixed media works on surfaces that range from canvas pieces with slightly crooked frames (which plays with the linear characteristics of the painting), to works on craft paper that adorn the gallery ceiling. Discuss this show here. Discuss Dave Kinsey here.
