MOCA, LA WALL PRODUCTION

At MOCA's "Art In The Streets", the LA wall had a lot of history on it. From old school WISK, OIL, and SER throw ups, to characters from writers like MEAR and SLICK, and tags from CHAKA,HAELER and K2S. This wall really had a variety of writers from the 80's to 90's LA era. Which styles are a lot different then the styles today, but its good for people outside the graffiti world to see how LA graff styles evolved from then to now.

Video Below, is the making of this wall.(This was before, Mear, Slick and few other writers added their touch on the wall)

NO BITERS ALLOWED 5/7/11

In May, Crewest celebrates it's 9 Year Anniversary!

Being the first and longest running brick and mortar gallery in L.A. exclusively dedicated to graffiti we thought this show better be special.

We decided to put on a group show to not only inspire but also educate our viewers and followers about the historical contribution of some of these great graffiti artists from the West Coast.

“No Biters Allowed” is an exhibition featuring the work of artists who have been painting graffiti or active since the 1980’s and from the West Coast. These artists were pivotal in transforming the landscape of what graffiti and urban art is all about to us.

All these artists had their roots in graffiti painting and writing. Some of these artists have gone on to become fine artists, graphic designers, and self-employed owners of different companies. Others have chosen to work as mentors to young people by offering their graffiti creativity as a positive source of inspiration.

This exhibit will focus on the artwork old and new created by some of today’s most recognized street legends from that golden era.

Artists include:
ACME, AXIS, CHAZ BOJORQUEZ, CRAYONE, CRE8, DEFER, DUCE, ESTRIA, FEAR, HEAVEN, HECTOR "HEX TGO" RIOS, MANDOE, MAN ONE, MEAR, MURAL, NEON, NUKE, PANIC, PJAY, PRECISE,PRIME, RELIK, RISKY, SACRED194, SHANDU, SINER, SLICK, STREET PHANTOM, TEMPT, VOGUE, VYAL, ZENDER


*We will be hosting several artist talks and special events to coincide with this exhibition and our 9 Year Anniversary.

Graffiti Documentary Trailer: Girl Power

A documentary movie about women in the graffiti world.
It's good to see the spot light on the girls rather than the guys in street art.
The Girl Power movie site says:

Welcome to the first feature-length documentary film about girls painting graffiti. The idea behind the Girl Power project was born in Prague in 2008 during the filming of a short video with female graffiti artists. After its completion and success we thought, why not explore this topic a little deeper. Soon we realized that the central theme would be the subject of women in the world of graffiti.
In the film Girl Power its intention to capture the female perspective and its social implications in the context of the graffiti scene. Why do so few girls paint? What are their reasons? It's a very bold and dangerous lifestyle, which tends to be associated with men. Yet there are women who have dedicated their lives, who seek out danger on their own accord and most importantly have a completely distinct approach to graffiti. First and foremost, they consider it a form of entertainment and so they spice it up with various elements such as clothing, stylization, which is miniskirts, humorous masks, extravagant clothing or they will paint their nails and put a pink wig on. All these aspects give their form of graffiti a new dimension. It's more fun, varied and most of all, distinct from the male approach.

ALWAYS HUNGRY!
