SCION PRESENTS: SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP
SCION PRESENTS: SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP
Curated by the Scrawl Collective
Curated by the Scrawl Collective
Los Angeles - December 2007 - In conjunction with the U.K.'s Scrawl Collective, Scion presents Special Relationship at its 4,500 square foot Installation L.A. Gallery. This show, Scrawl's biggest to date, is dedicated to exploring the light and dark side of the famous "Special Relationship" that exists between the U.K. and the U.S.A. The Scrawl Collective exhibition will feature specially created installations and new work by artists. Featured Scrawl Collective artists will include Will Barras, Mr Jago, Steff Plaetz, PhlAsh, DistOne, David Walker, Nick Purser, RYCA, Hutch, Ian Stevenson, Will Ainley and Felix Kiessling.
Scrawl Collective is an art and design collective from the U.K. Growing from a small tight-knit group of young English artists who banded together with Scrawl founder Ric Blackshaw in 1999, Scrawl Collective is known for pioneering a doodley, scratchy style of urban art that today has many adherents and can be seen everywhere from street art to mainstream advertising. While remaining true to these roots, Scrawl has expanded over the years picking up new artists along the way and developing the breadth and scope of their work as they go. Scrawl Collective has built up a formidable global reputation for its live art and installation shows and a ready market for its paintings and prints. For more information on the Scrawl Collective, visit:
www.scrawlcollective.co.uk
The opening reception takes place January 19, 7:00 P.M. - 10:00 P.M. at the Scion Installation L.A. Gallery, 3521 Helms Ave. (at National), Culver City, Calif., 90232. The show will run until February 9. A selection of screen prints from the ongoing Scrawl Editions series will be available.
Dedicated to fostering independent artistic expression, the Scion Installation L.A. Gallery is a space that allows artists to explore their creative visions. The Scion Installation Gallery hosts art shows and art-related events for cutting-edge artists from across the globe. Due to success and growth, the Scion Installation L.A. Gallery recently moved from its Washington Boulevard location to Helms and National in the Hayden Tract area. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Saturday 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM and by appointment - 310.815.8840. For more information, visit www.scion.com/space.
