Eric Haze Opens Symbolic Show

Hoping to reestablish himself as more than a designer and brand name, Eric Haze opened a solo art show last night. “New Abstracts and Icons” features some boldly repetitive paintings, drawings and sculptures which represent a different direction in the former graffiti writer’s work. Still, Haze carries on a limited color palette among other symbology which you can see, sans musical accompaniment by A-Trak and Neil Armstrong, at the new Level 2 Gallery. |Arrested Motion|

“New Abstracts and Icons,” November 19 – December 10, Level 2 Gallery, 812 Broadway

‘Standard’ T-Shirts

Like the MTA and its line of artist designed t-shirts, Standard hotel honcho Andre Balaz is also exploring alternate streams of revenue, releasing his own series of graphic tees—for $55 a pop! He tapped the likes of Jose Parla, Eric Haze and Natas Kaupas to create designs “that represent their personal street style and handwriting in each of the cities reflected on the front, which include Miami, New York, and L.A. respectively.” Former public property destroyer HAZE, was responsible for this NYC version. |Cool Hunting|
