Exhibition Opening: Viktor Freso @ 5 Pieces Gallery
5 Pieces Gallery is pleased to show these great artworks by one of the leading Slovakian artists of our time. The exhibition will run at www.5piecesgallery.com from today until March 15 2016. 10% off for 5 Pieces Gallery members.
Viktor Freso (1974, Bratislava/Slovakia) presents a collection of paintings directly following the artist´s sculptural objects that ranked him among the leading Slovak and Central European artists. Viktor Freso continues in connecting material, form, colour and volume, and plays with the antonyms of resistance and fragility. The artist erases basic contours of material that is being gradually uncovered and “dressed” in completely new forms, thus receiving a new identity. The artist´s creative approach can be aptly characterised by a Japanese concept of “miegakure”, which includes two antonyms: “hide” and “reveal”. Viktor Freso lives and works in Bratislava/Slovakia. © Zuzana Pacakova

FAMP Art presents: ‘The Labours of Hercules’
Gallery Openings / Exhibitions
13 Artists. 12 Labours. 1 Hercules.
On December 12, 2015, FAMP Art will be hosting its debut art show titled The Labours of Hercules. This show marks FAMP Art’s first foray into the gallery space and they are looking to make a splash in a legendary way.
Mythology is one of the most fascinating aspects of ancient Greek culture and the Heroic age, specifically, is responsible for the stories about some of the most well-known figures in history, in particular, Heracles, or, more popularly known by his Roman name, Hercules.
With a desire to curate a unique show that would allow for fun artistic freedom and a break from the standard pop-culture art show, FAMP Art decided to continue their mythological streak, which started with DZO’s ‘Dragon’ release, and focus on the stories that made Hercules such a legend. 12 artists were selected and assigned one of Hercules’ labours that they could interpret in their own way. They could focus on the labour itself, the interaction between Hercules and the labour, or focus on the aftermath. A 13th artist was then selected to illustrate a piece focusing on the man himself, Hercules. The show will include a variety of screen printed pieces, a few giclee prints and couple of originals from artists all around the world.
The event will take place on Dec 12th at Bottleneck Gallery, located at 60 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11249, with doors opening at 7pm and at 9:30. The gallery is located in Williamsburg and is accessible by car, bus and subway.

Sneak Peak:
Tomer Hanuka in The Art of ‘The Divine’
Gallery Openings / Exhibitions
In 2012 Gingko Press published ‘Overkill,’ a collection of over 100 illustrations by artist Tomer Hanuka. Included in Hanuka’s illustration work for novels, magazines, and films was a piece titled ‘Havoc.’ The illustration is a flash of epic violence — a delicate take on the brutality of war, man unraveling at the skin. The piece was attributed to ‘The Divine,’ a graphic novel I later discovered Hanuka had been at work on with fellow illustrator and twin brother Asaf Hanuka and writer Boaz Lavie.
For ‘The Divine‘ Boaz wrote the story followed by directing’ the book with Asaf who also created tight layouts, which Tomer inked and colored. Even in the most abstract and magical moments of ‘The Divine’ you feel the strong tug of reality in their work. Similar to Asaf’s comic work in ‘The Realist‘ which finds true insight and magic in the everyday, ‘The Divine’ does the opposite in bringing truth to the magical.
The brothers Hanuka along with writer Lavie have created an environment in ‘The Divine’ with a sense of the universal known — the images are familiar because we’ve seen war. We’ve watched the news and have witnessed the violent crush of a foreign people. In this common ground they’ve constructed a stunning piece of heartbreaking fiction drenched in myth.
‘The Divine‘ will be released on July 14th from First Second Books, and on Friday July 17th Chris Jalufka of Evil Tender will present ‘The Art of The Divine,’ a gallery exhibition to be held at White Walls Gallery in San Francisco.
‘The Art of The Divine‘ will feature over 30 pieces including pencil sketches, rough drawings, concept art, and final illustrations from the book with limited edition giclee prints available. (via Evil Tender)
