“Language, Literature and Music = Nourishment for the SOUL “that which is full of structure and repetition is predictably boring.” “that is which is full of accident and chance is randomly boring”… In Between Lies…”ART!”
People collect art for both enjoyment in the moment and in the hopes it will increase in value; it's always been... the higher an artists prices, the more desirable their art. So what of successful artists who have temporarily reduced prices this year?
GOOD REASONS TO BUY ART NOW:
Hard times means this is an excellent time to invest in Art. The new economy encourages creative opportunities for acquisition, including buying art on the installment plan and bartering for services. Taking sales prices out of the equation affords collectors the chance to consider a more holistic assessment of an artists worth, including an appreciation of their place in the community and what they stand for, in addition to reviews, publications and honors. Your favorite working artists need your support more than ever this year

GROUP EXHIBITION 'Urban Myth' in Gallery 1 & 3 Featuring works by: Pure Evil, Zeus, Mysterious Al, Inkie, Chu, Steff Plaetz, China Mike, Mudwig, MauMau, Eco, Andy Council, Sickboy, and SHOK-1
July 11 - August 1, 2009 Reception: Saturday July 11, 7-10 pm
C E R A S O L I Gallery presents 'Urban Myth' a group exhibition in the front galleries curated by Bristol urban artist Graffiti Kingpin INKIE, representing a cross-section of the dominant forces in UK urban art scene: Pure Evil, Zeus, Mysterious Al, Inkie, Steff Plaetz, China Mike, Mudwig, MauMau, Chu, Eco, Andy Council, Sickboy, SHOK-1. One of Australia’s pioneering street to gallery artists, MEGGS 'Crime & Charity’ will be on view in Gallery two. Opens July 11, 2009, and remains on view through August 1, 2009.
In the front Galleries, Bristol’s notorious urban artist Inkie has curated a surprise show for Cerasoli Gallery, 'Urban Myth' a group exhibition that crosses the pond, like Cerasoli Gallery owner, Freddi Cerasoli’s 2002 ‘Street Wise One’ exhibition, which Cerasoli brought to London to exhibit over thirty American street artists. For ‘Urban Myth’ Inkie has selected a cross-section of the UK’s leading street artists: Pure Evil, Zeus, Mysterious Al, Inkie, Steff Plaetz, China Mike, Mudwig, MauMau, Chu, Eco, Andy Council, Sickboy, SHOK-1. Heralding from the infamous Bristol School of Graffiti, Inkie is one of the UK's leading street artists, holding 2nd place title in the World Street Art Championships, and has been identified as Banksy's partner in crime. A dominant presence for over twenty years on the international graffiti scene, Inkie’s trademark intricate imagery is uniquely striking with styles drawn from diverse inspirations, ubiquitous street signage, the architecture of ancient temples, Islamic geometry, and natural psychedelia. Exhibited worldwide, Inkie’s art has been published in the books Banky's Bristol, Children of the Can, Graffiti World and magazines Graphotism and Dazed & Confused, and featured in the 2007 LA graffiti documentary Bomb It, and the British/Brazilian street art documentary Weapon of Choice.
The thirteen artists in ‘Urban Myth’ make their mark wherever possible, creating atmospheric artspaces united by unique visual languages, quirky characters and colorful, dynamic compositions. Using any combination of stencil and freehand painting to create images, these urban artists have been pushing the role of the artist as social commentator and encouraging reconsiderations of art and society for the past twenty years. Graffiti artist Chu creates large-scale works which encourage the viewer to see the world as your studio. Steff Plaetz is one of the original three Scrawl Collective members Plaetz’s instantly recognizable works are among the first generation to pioneer the use of rough sketchbook drawings in finished pieces of art. Pure Evil, street artist and gallery owner, is interested in media-powered communicating with peers through his spectacular works. Andy Council straddles the worlds of street art and illustration, creating distinctive ‘city creatures’ resembling dinosaurs and gargoyles based on architectural features found in Bath and Bristol.
On view in Gallery two, 'Crime & Charity’ a selection of mixed media on wood works by MEGGS, one of Australia’s pioneering street to gallery artists. Pop culture references tinged with nostalgia for childhood heroes and villains, Meggs’ eclectic works explore the notion of duality and the on-going question of morals, rights and authorities. Reflecting on personal experience, Meggs produces energetic depictions of heroes, villains, and subverted collages of pop culture symbology. In ‘Toy Boy’ a cartoon mouse implodes with the pent up energy of a marble furiously swirled inside a can of spray paint. In ‘Love, Hate’ comic book word bubbles declare ‘It’s happened ! The time has come !’ as fists pound through bloodied layers of amputated imagery in an unholy alliance of Pop and abstract expressionism. Meggs’ work has been exhibited internationally and is included in the National Gallery of Australia’s permanent collection.

Jesse was born in San Juan Capistrano, California in 1987. He has been drawing since before he can remember, which was really only the-blink-of-an-eye ago on the geologic time scale. He now resides in San Francisco, California.
After pulling the disappearing act of a lifetime, Becca is back in the saddle with a huge body of work to show for herself. Her lengthy sabbatical was well deserved, as this renowned street artist of the ‘90s has shown her work in galleries throughout the country for over two decades.
Becca’s new body of work focuses on throwback fashionista ladies mixed with innocent references to childhood. The two themes may seem polar oppostites, but Becca uses this conflicting imagery to explore the many facets of femininity. Her new body of work reflects sorrow, empowerment, innocence, and maturity all at once. As Becca's first solo show in 4 years, expectations are high for True Colors.

Mystery, wonder, and fascination are commonly used themes in Ian Hill's new series of bizzare paintings, entitled- "DEAD WORKS." Old photos, toys, and good old fashion imagination are used with monochromatic elements and paired with neon color patterns to create an exciting pallete for his creatures and figures to cohabitat. The meaning of his work remains illusive and allows the viewer to reflect on their own interpretations. Ian Hill has always been fascinated by alternative realities. His dreams of imaginary creatures and unframiliar places have made their way into his waking conscious and consequently onto his canvases. Hill's work paradoxically challenges the viewers moral values through the juxtaposition of sarcasm, intimidation, and hissy fits. Hill graduated from the Academy of Art S.F. with a degree in illustration, but has pursued fine art as a venue for his images. His work has been shown in San Francisco, New York, San Diego, and the Phillipines. In 2008 he was awarded the "Direct Art Award" and "Best in Show" for the juried international competition "Strange Figurations". Hill has also worked as an art instructor and volunteered with city art programs for the youth.
