« ALL that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream. » Edgar Allan Poe

Usant d’un vocabulaire visuel inspiré par l’univers des comics, du tatouage, de la musique punk, du Street Art, du manga et des films d’horreur, les deux artistes – Ciou et Nicoz Balboa – explorent les plaisirs et cauchemars de la culture populaire à travers des peintures audacieuses, provocantes, quelquefois violentes. Un récit plein de fantaisie débridée. Comme de furtifs coups d’œil sur une réalité parallèle.

Rue de Beauce – galerie d’art au format informel – invite régulièrement des artistes à se produire dans le salon d’un appartement parisien au cœur du Marais. Initiée par Michèle Bouhana et Angela di Paolo, la galerie s’est engagée dans la promotion de nouvelles tendances artistiques circulant entre Pop Surréalisme, Urban Art et Dessin contemporain.

Exhibition runs: November 19 – December 23, 2011.
Opening party: November 19th, 7pm – 10pm.

SWEET STREETS invites you to the exciting next installment of our self-titled group show, co-curated by Tokyo fashion brand Spank! Spank! is not only inspired by 80s style, but also the « just want to have fun » attitude of Cyndi Lauper, My Little Pony, Barbie, and everything in between. In the 1980s, America saw the resurgence of Hello Kitty, Studio Ghibli’s first films, and anime blockbusters like Akira which continue to captivate artists. Today in Japan, these 80s icons are charming an entirely new generation. This show explores the relationship between 1980s American and Japanese pop-cultures by a fresh mix of artists. An opening party will be held on November 19th, 7pm – 10pm, feat. live music, fashion show (and yes, pop-up shop!) by Spank! and Chubby Bunny.
