INFLATABLE XXX ART

Most of us are over Street-Art by now, but very occasionally I see people doing shit that is awesome:

CHINESE XXX FISH

Well, the chinese have found a way to deep-fry a fish whilst keeping it alive. I'm no militant activist but I feel genuine sadness whilst watching this clip. The laughing makes it worse. Poor fisn :(

321 XXX Hong Kong

Last bit of Selph promotion before the year is up!

Our fourth project follows closely on the heels of the Tokyo show. This time, back to Hong Kong, in association with the Schoeni Gallery, we will be curating a show called 321 Solstice. The show starts on November 17th, (the 321st day of the calendar year) with a live art demonstration by Graphic Airlines, which leads up to the event opening November 19th and welcoming in the winter solstice. A time when creatives take refuge from the cold, in the warmth of their studios, where they can finally get back to the business of creating! This year, we have collected 10 artists from the UK, USA & Hong Kong; Bill London (UK), Cept (UK), David Bray (UK), Friendly Liu (HK), Graphic Airlines (HK), Jon Burgerman (UK), L1ES ONE (HK), Phil Ashcroft (UK), Swoon (USA), Vesna Parchet (UK).

It has been alot of hard work, but we feel that it has all been worth it with the line up of artists we have showing this year. Adapta has handpicked some of the finest talents from a broad spectrum of artistic skills; illustration, graffiti, streetart and graphic design are all backgrounds these artists possess.

BEACH XXX BALL

"At my worst point I remember bursting into tears, because I looked like a beach ball with a head and little feet."

Not sure what to make of this.

CLOSE XXX ENCOUNTERS

A lil bit of shameless selph promotion:

It's been a long and hard road organising this show, but we have enjoyed every minute of it! 2 shows in Asia in the same month is pretty nuts, but it was the only way we could do it....UKAdapta have organised two shows; one in Tokyo this Thursday and one in Hong Kong, next Thursday! If you are in Tokyo, please go check it out!

The TimeOut Gallery Space In Tokyo

Best Ever

Cyclops

David Bray

D*Face

Matt Small

Sickboy

Vesna Parchet

Word To Mother

Adapta Gallery’s third curated project will be held on November 12th - November 29th 2009, with a show in Tokyo called Close Encounters. The show consists of 8 British-based artists, including Best Ever, Cyclops, D*Face, David Bray, Matt Small, Sickboy, Word To Mother and Vesna Parchet.

The variety of work on show is eclectic, and that is precisely the reason why we chose them in the first place. From D*Face's two-dimensional graphic art to the rich textures of emerging artist Vesna Parchet's styled character-based paintings, a plethora of mediums, emotions and messages are employed for the viewer to digest.

This particular show is very close to our hearts as we are finally able to put together an amazing line up of artists to produce works for our Tokyo readers and Japanese collectors to see in person. We have been interviewing and working on projects with so many talented British creatives over the years and to finally curate our own show in Tokyo for our main audience is a true honour.

On the opening night, we will also have special guests: Usugrow, Jeff Soto, Shohei Takasaki, Yoshiki & Nagayama also showing their works.
