Herbert Baglione | Strychnin Gallery - Conquistadores Group Show

Conquistadores. A group show featuring over 30 Spanish and Latin American street artists.
Curated by Maximiliano Ruiz (Argentina).

The show opens May 14th at 7 pm in our Berlin space.

Conquistadores is an overview of fresh contemporary talent from Spain and Latin America that is – at least metaphorically speaking – out to conquer the world. Globalization has affected both the Spanish and Latin American art scene. Recent art contributions from these countries seem to be nothing but a footnote in global art history books. Far from it! Both art cultures are more alive than ever! And that is what the exhibition Conquistadores is about. It is based on a selection of Spanish and Latin American artists whose work deals with local and national issues that are representative of the general human condition in the 21st century. We are very pleased to be supported by the Spanish and the Colombian embassy in Berlin.

Herbert Baglione | FIFTY24SF GALLERY PRESENTS: "THE DARK WAVE" - NEW WORKS BY HERBERT BAGLIONE

Exibição solo de Herbert Baglione na Fifty24SF Gallery em São Francisco - California, a partir de amanha.




"The Dark Wave" Opens Thursday December 10th, 2009
Fifty24SF is proud to host “The Dark Wave”- a solo exhibition by Herbert Baglione.

Brazilian artist Herbert Baglione has been a strong interest in the South American graffiti movement for more than ten years. Inspired by Brazil’s street culture, Baglione started experimenting with new ways to look at his urban environment of Sao Paulo and provoked dialogue about his fresh perspective on urban artwork. Alongside these efforts are Baglione’s distinctive mural designs and stretched figures representing humans and aliens. These are often balancing elongated and rounded extremes with dramatic iconic symbols such as familiar urban architecture.

Influenced by his older brother, Baglione began painting at the age of three, and has found his greatest interest in provoking themes such as death, individualism, family, and chaos. These complex themes alongside his distinctive style have given Baglione deserved recognition in the international graffiti scene.

“The Dark Wave” features new sketches and paintings on canvas on display at FIFTY24SF Gallery from December 10, 2009 – January 28, 2010.

We cordially invite you to join us for the opening reception of:
