now that’s more like it !!<\/p>\n

as far as I can make out, the cutting edge art scene today – is all about: STEALTH.<\/p>\n

as in, STEALTHY: wily, cat-like. STREET-SMART, STYLE-SMART, CONTENT STEALTHY, PAINTERLY STEALTHY !!
\nVERY FORMAL, THE VISUAL DYNAMICS are a big<\/strong> part of the picture, but on a very down-low type of game, as in – NOT ROTHKO !!
\nmore ED SHERRAN !!
\nyou know, cutting close to the beat. holding back, and then giving up. sweetly. very musical.<\/p>\n

it’s certainly not: not in-your-face geezer ‘sexy’ overload and repeat after me, Paul McCarthy.<\/p>\n

\nROB PRUITT, ‘Daybreak\/Twilight’, 2014
\ndyptique, acrylique peinture, email et pailles sur toile.
\n182,9 x 182,9 cm. chaque. 182,9 x 365,8 cm total.
\nunique – image via AIR DE PARIS – LIST FOR FIAC 2014<\/a> <\/p>\n

coming off of Rob’s recent and, gorgeous tres ombre ‘Suicide’ paintings, these are<\/strong> a knock-out. I was blown away the minute I saw them.
\nyeah, that’s what I mean by stealthy content, and ‘bio’ content – and even more stealthy . . the formal ‘painting’: smart formal elements, very fashion forward. almost a word play, game on visually, for sure.
\nSTEALTH in this case employing digitally inspired – finely gradated & sophisticated spray paint work.<\/p>\n

\nMRZYKE & MORICEAU, ‘Sans Titre’, 2014.
\nencre sur papier. 29,7 x 21 cm \/ cadre (frame) 31 x 22 cm.unique.
\nimage via AIR DE PARIS LIST OF WORKS FOR FIAC 2014<\/a><\/p>\n

wow, vive les native born frenchies !! these 2 artists are just so smart. in the head, in the style, in the draftsmanship, in the wit, in the down-low. in the global, in the fashion, etc. etc. etc.<\/p>\n

so happy to be able to prove, I’m just not<\/strong> all about NYC, and I am<\/strong> for locavore cutting edge !! which this is, for sure !!
\nand, in double-time.<\/p>\n

check out: MRZYKE & MORICEUA – 100 black line drawings, and counting !! <\/a><\/p>\n

LISTEN UP, FIAC: <\/p>\n

I’m not one to knock something and then not come up with a better alternative.
\nI hate negativism, it gives me nightmares after I post . . for days.<\/p>\n

so . . <\/p>\n

if FIAC had truly wanted to put up a giant, knock-out INFLATABLE . . that was truly<\/strong> ahead of the curve, and way ahead of the ‘market’ game (you damn straight, know what I mean !! McCarthy gallerists !!), that was also striking, cutting edge, super fun, super smart, very FRENCH !! and tres relevant to today<\/strong>, and not just A REPEAT of an old gross joke from 7 years ago, they should have \/ could have blown up & put up any one of the drawings on that MRZYKE & MORICEAU portfolio page link, above. in giant scale. PERIOD.<\/p>\n

am I right ?
\nof course !!<\/p>\n

in fact, here’s my top 2 picks:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nMRZYK & MORICEAU – for ‘SEXY’, if that was what you were going for . . ho ho !!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nMRZYK & MORICEAU – for ‘Chocolate Santa’ – if that’s what you really wanted. I mean it’s just a great image for an art fair, esp in Europe – let alone in tres sophisticate Paris !!
\nsuch a great ‘off-beat’ unexpected scenario, or what !!
\nplus, so super smart – design-wise.
\nso anti-terror, anti-war, anti-bio hazard, anti-earth, anti-market, anti-status-quo, anti bio infra-structure collapse. so sweet, and yet so powerful, edgy – but also an image everybody who came around – could embrace. <\/p>\n

and hopefully . . transform with,<\/strong> evolve with – and at worse, just simply: escape and . . . dream – with.<\/p>\n

too bad, FIAC dropped the (inflatable) ball, here’s to next time.<\/p>\n
