Lowbrow Art In All It’s Glory…via the Post-it

January 2nd, 2010 · No Comments

The Los Angeles-based GR2, part of the greater Giant Robot family, is currently running it’s fourth Post-It Show through Jan. 13th.

A diverse group of artists drew, colored, painted, cut up and glued Post-its, resulting in a colorful and chaotic sea of paper squares. GR2 is selling each Post-it for $20- how’s that for an entry price?

If you’re interested in purchasing a piece from the show, you can select up to four artists on the website. At the end of the show, GR2 will send you a randomly-selected Post-it by one of your preferred artists. The roster includes the very talented: APAK, Marc Bell, Jill Bliss, Jen Corace, Evah Fan, Daria Tessler, Yellena James, Saelee Oh, Luke Ramsey, and dozens more!

Artist of the day: Marc Bell

We recently discovered Montreal-based artist Marc Bell thanks to his in-depth interview on Fecal Face. Marc is showing at Adam Baumgold Gallery in NYC through Nov. 14th. Bell also has a brand new book out compiling his work from the last decade called Hot Potatoe.

Marc’s work is strongly influenced by folk art and comics.  I really like the lo-fi feel of his collages and how, despite the humble materials used, Bell successfully weaves in references to contemporary pop culture.

Check out some of Bell’s newer work below:
