Last weekend, I participated in an excellent art party at Exit in Brooklyn, called Artitronic. Artitronic is the brainchild of Jay Clue and DJ Dali that synthesizes two of my favorite things: “banging beats and dope artwork”.
They embody a similar ethos as Lowbrow Society (which is my art collective), in the fact that they value a low-key and unintimidating atmosphere outside of the fancy art-gallery scene, where people can hang out and talk shop.
I was impressed with the sense of community within the artists, especially. Many seemed to know one another and chatted amicably, asked me about my paintings and collage work, and just generally helped out with the event to keep it lively. The scope of art shown was deliciously varied; everything from hand-painted skateboard decks to macabre horror photography to psychedelic fractals.
I chose to show two large fashion-girl paintings, rendered in some crazy bright neon gouache and cutout paper, along with a spray-paint and collage piece that I did for this summer’s Mashup party. The collage seemed to get a lot of lovin’, which surprised me, because I felt like it was less “original”. I definitely will be exploring working at a larger size, because I feel a huge relief to break out of the sketchbook format and just take over a beautiful sheet of rag paper (my current preferred surface, I love how it takes watercolor and colored pencil).
Needless to say, there was also a stellar lineup of DJs as well, including Udachi, who drops the best wobbly bass, as well as Odi, who is a pillar of the NYC drum & bass scene.
Hopefully, I’ll get some scans or photos this week of my work, but for now, this post is without images, boo!
I'm Lenora!
I'm a Brooklyn based, pink-haired space cadet in search of a more visually delicious universe. I do illustration, design, fine art, photography, modeling, makeup and party-throwing. It's awesome.
