Miss Bugs Opens ‘Parlour’ at Brooklynite Gallery

Continuing the theme of their Cut Out and Fade Out project, UK street art duo Miss Bugs brings nippled lady-monster collages and colorful silkscreens to their show at the Brookynite Gallery, opening this weekend. Parlour “exploits the idea that the art establishment plays on people’s desires, whether for money, beauty, sex or ownership.” Translation: whole lotta press release that means art is decadent prostitution. “Parlour,” Miss Bugs, Jun 25 – Jul 16, Brooklynite Gallery, NYC

Two artists of separate mediums are serving up expressive portraiture at the Brooklynite Gallery. Guy Denning self-imposes destruction on his masterful, angst-filled oil-paintings.

Both on view now. “Surface Tension,” Guy Denning vs. David Walker, Jun 10 – Jul 12, Brooklynite Gallery, NYC

Brooklynite Gallery’s “Eurotrash” show with DOLK and M-CITY is back on! New exhibit opening date: May 8th. Volcanoes have moved on to annoy rich Russians who couldn’t make it Sotheby’s last week.

Sadly, the Brooklynite Gallery’s April 30th “Eurotrash” show is postponed indefinitely. M-City, Dolk and their art won’t be here on time. Stupid volcanoes. UPDATE: New opening date is May 8th.

Good thing half the Brooklynite Gallery‘s space is outdoors. For their upcoming “Eurotrash” show, Poland’s legendary street artist M-CITY will serve up a signature industrial-themed mural. DOLK will provide the mostly monochromatic story-telling stencils, promising to be extra cynical. Both artists plan to “leave many gifts to the people of NYC” during their stay, so keep a look out. “Eurotrash,” DOLK and M-CITY, Opens May 8, Brooklynite Gallery, NYC UPDATE: New date!

Instead of mourning your missed opportunism this past Valentine’s Day, head over to the Brooklynite Gallery and check out Kathryn MacNaughton ‘Filthy Rautten’ prints. They make for spanky neat gifts and make walls pretty too.

M-City and Gaia Get Busy in Bed Stuy

Street artist M-City followed up his recent wall painting in Long Island City, putting up a legal mural with Gaia in Bed Stuy. The duo finished stenciling and pasting up their collaborative collage over the last couple days in spite of frigid temperatures. Organized by Brooklynite Gallery and situated down the street, the finished work features some of the artists’ signature styles: bold buildings, birds and gears.
