Street Art ~ Modern Folk Art
Hey all… it’s a busy busy week. Sorry no post yesterday, and today’s going to be a quickie!
I’ve got a few more gallery stops to share from our Murmuring last Friday, but you’ll have to check back for those…
For now, a wheat paste we spotted on Broadway… a collaborative effort by four local street artists: GATS, Ras Terms, Dead Eyes, and I’m not sure about the last guy… he does a lot of stickers proclaiming “Beer is Good”, a sentiment I wholeheartedly agree with.
A couple of these guys’ works (and those by several more) will appear in a group show this Friday night at Basement Gallery, 7 – 10pm.
Curated by local graffiti afficionado Endless Canvas, Deep Rooted Scribes is billed as “a look at modern cultural folk art.” Should be pretty cool…

i love the painting! Folk art is one of my favorite types of art. I’m so sad i missed the Deep Rooted Scribes event. If i didn’t have to work i would have been there for sure. I really would like to get into painting more and maybe even sculpting too. I’m not very good at it, but i guess that’s why you practice.
