Lunar
Beastz and Bugz
November 15 – December 15, 2006
Opening Reception: November 15, 2006, 5:00pm
Invisible NYC is proud to host a solo-exhibit by Croatian artist, Lunar. His art is informed by his own graffiti as well as that of other artists such as CMP and Mode2. Lunar’s graffiti work has been featured in publications such as Nicholas Ganz’s “Street Art: Graffiti From Five Continents”.
Lunar is a co-founder of Croatia’s first graffiti crew, YCP, in 1992. He has been commissioned by numerous city councilors across Croatia to apply his unique, illustrative graffiti to community walls through out his country and is a leading creative force in turning many blank, barren walls of his home of Zagreb, Croatia into vibrant works of public art. One cannot go even a few blocks in Zagreb without coming across Lunar’s art either on a small scale, as in his 2-dimansional cutout dogs placed in the grass of neighborhood parks, or his large wall murals on the sides buildings. Lunar has also created work for major advertising companies such as Coca-Cola, Nissan, and Sony Playstation. His work tends toward the optimistic and is technically flawless in execution.
For his first exhibit in the U.S., Lunar will recreate on large canvases his imaginative, bizarre animal and bug inspired creatures that have become his signature icon throughout the streets of Zagreb. The “beastz” are rendered in an organic red, black and white while in contrast, the “bugz” are solely in black and white. The deliberate use of a limited color palette for the subjects placed on an intense, electric background allows the characters to boldly address the viewer and present their individual personalities. What results is an uplifting and dynamic exhibit of happy “beastz and bugz” frolicking on and redefining the ordinarily blank, white gallery walls. However, while the subject matter is light-hearted and almost child-like, the subtle details and unyielding execution, using only three colors (or non-colors), speaks to the larger social question of what is acceptable public art vs. graffiti – that which many in both Croatia and around the world believe to be vandalism.
The exhibit will run from November 16th – December 16th, Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 8:00 PM. The opening reception will be on Thursday, November 16th from 7:00-9:00 PM.
