This Wednesday, February 1st, Van Gogh Up Close will be opening at the Philadelphia Art Museum. I’m really excited for it as I love Van Gogh’s work. I just purchased my ticket for the guided tour Friday morning and can’t wait! Below is an overview of the exhibit from visitphilly.com

Philadelphia will be the only place in the United States to see the incredible collection of works by Vincent van Gogh that helped change the course of modern painting. Created between 1886-1890, these paintings captured the final tumultuous years of van Gogh’s life and his feverish artistic experimentation up until his death.

Radically altering and often outright abandoning traditional painting techniques, van Gogh shunned conventional still life and landscape methods and experimented with depth of field and focus. Familiar subjects were brought “up close” into the extreme foreground or were focused on in unprecedented ways.

Van Gogh Up Close highlights his shift in tradition with more than 40 masterpieces borrowed from collections around the world. Pieces of fruit threaten to roll out of the picture, tree trunks dominate the frame and the intricate patterning of an Emperor moth are just a few scenes to explore during the exhibition.

JINXED PRESENTS FROST215/ El Toro

“BATTLE SCARES”

Jan 14th 2012 7-10pm

For the better part of this century, Philadelphia area streets have been covered by the work of FROST 215. Variations on his El Toro character can be seen just about everywhere. Tonight, come see them up close and meet the man behind the bull.
Opening reception tonight from 6-9p.m. with refreshments provided by Naragansett Beer, Sailor Jerry rum, and Philadelphia-made Jacquins Liquors! Refreshments while they last…

In this episode of Here Comes the Neighborhood, Kunle Martins aka EARSNOT, founder of the IRAK CREW, along with Jesse Geller aka NEMEL break down the importance of good penmanship, the difference between murals and graffiti, and the concept behind their “tagging mosaic” in Wynwood. Stealing, masturbation and other compulsive behaviors are also addressed.

Please join us(Jinxed) in welcoming Huck Gee to Philadelphia! He will be here at Jinxed signing the white cover edition of his book, ‘The Art of Huck Gee’ from 6-8p.m.. Books will be available for sale. (and we’ll have snacks…’)

For those of you not familiar, Mr. Gee is the premier designer of vinyl toys today.
A native of the UK, Huck Gee moved to San Francisco in the early 90s to pursue the venerable life of a b-boy & artist. Starting off as a graphic designer by day and a graffiti writer and break beater by night, He later honed his skills as an illustrator delving into the alluring world of Japanese and Hong Kong pop art. Huck has released numerous limited edition toys through Kidrobot, including some of the most exclusive and sought after Dunnys to date. In the winter of 2007, his Hello My Name Is 8-inch Dunny was accepted into the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in NYC. He currently runs a studio in San Francisco, and when he is not busy planning world domination, he spends his time chasing skirts and pretending to be a racecar driver.
Most recently Huck collaborated with Ken Block and DC Shoes for Ken’s Monster World Rally Team WRC logo entitled “Blockhead”. Coinciding with this project were several limited edition shoe and clothing runs.
We’re thrilled Huck chose us to be a stop on his U.,S. book tour. Stop by for a beverage and to say hello!
