Toronto’s Show and Tell Gallery wants to spread shape-n-letter joy and “cross-pollinate” the effect of DALEK’s (James Marshall) vibrant, linear abstractions with SP ONE’s (Greg Lamarche) typographic, cut-out collages. It’s double the fun, full of “robust colours” and very ooooo. “Geometric Balance,” James Marshall and Greg Lamarche, Jul 22 – Aug 31, Show and Tell Gallery, Toronto

Artist James Marshall, better known as Dalek, opened an exhibition at Jonathan Levine Gallery over the weekend. His second solo show with the Chelsea gallery, “And There Was War In Heaven” is another milestone in the North Carolina-based artist’s departure from a decade’s worth of street art symbology. Now completely devoid of the iconic Space Monkey character, Marshall’s paintings continue playing with new signature elements, creating colorfully stylized, kaleidoscopic compositions.

Even with a downward spiraling art market chances are you still can’t afford an original DALEK.
