What show, artist, street art, etc. have you been most impressed by so far in 2014? What are you hoping/looking forward to in the second half of the year?

[mrchristopherrobinso]

Mars-1 really stepped his game up this year

I love the work that Os Gemeos dropped on SF

Especially this one because it overlooks one of the arguably worst intersections in San Francisco (Turk&Taylor) as far as prostitution, drug dealing, etc is concerned. In my opinion this corner needed a bit of whimsy, color and fun more than any place in the city.

Also, I cant wait to see what Conor Harrington has coming for his NYC show this fall!

[Dungle]

Borondo in terms of stuff going up on the street.

Most highly anticipated show for me is without doubt Conor Harrington in NYC.

Couldn't agree more.
Both artists really excite me.

I've been at Etam Cru's show in Barcelona earlier this year and it's definitely the best works I've seen (in the flesh) for a long time! Characters, colors, feelings, etc, are just stunning!
For me those guys needs to be looked at!

Mehdi Ghadyanloo. Fantastic artist. Looking forward to his (if I'm not mistaking) first solo exibithion in August.

I have been impressed by Levalet, both street and gallery works. I am glad I could purchase one great piece by him.
Escif also did some great stuff, as usual, including his recent trip to Senegal, great idea (offering his services for locals) and results (love the different advertisment for local hair dresser and taylor). Same for RAE, his trip to Ethiopia was great. Looks like Africa did inspire some of the most talented and opened minds in this scene, which is great. Better Out than In.... Hopefully the rest of the year will be as interesting

For me the roa show, conors upcoming show,looking forward to dolks street pieces in the usa.
Oh and Daleast street work has been good as well phew!!!

Looking forward to this myself

[Nick]

Where will Mehdi's exhibit be? Should be interesting, his large scale murals are immense! Also loving what Eduardo Kobra has been upto, Zach and the polish contingent (Etam/Proch etc)
Seth Globepainter is also doing fantastic work...eagerly awaiting a print release by him!!

[overend]

Dale Marshall's show Walls with Wounds at the Herbert by far the best show I've seen this year. Not seen them but the current Os Gem and Vhils shows look pretty special.

I think Zacharevic is working a notch above the rest. His street work is amazing. The OG show in Brasil looked amazing too.  Love the emergence of Bisser as well.  Great, unique style.  Pegak's work has been great too.. hope he can translate it to print, since his og prices are already pretty darn high

[FЯ]

Zacharevic...by far.

Whoops. I forgot the Marshall show.
Fir me me it's now Marshall show/work; Borondo street art; and anticipation for the Harrington show.

[BandyBarhol]

In terms of shows, i think CH show will be the show of the year without doubt and also looking forward to see what dolk gets upto in the states

Apart from that Borondo, Bisser, Zach and Pichi & Avo all are on top of my list .. for this year anyway

Almost feel like I've forgotten someone

[Jameszee]

Phlegm's "The Bestiary" earlier this year was brilliant but underrated as the hype of Gallery sales wasn't there to be milked.

Would like to see how Qbic progresses this year.

AEC Interesni Kazki worth a mention here as well.

Also a +1 for Harrington in NYC - monumental talent and style.

[Coach]

Another highlight for he was the banksy show.
I know it was unauthorised. But it was great to see so many wonderful pieces all together.
But more than that, it was fab to meet up with a bunch of friends from on here, see the show together, and adjourn to the pub afterwards!! Lovely day!!

Mehdi's exibithion is in Bergen at Galleri Geo.

Zacharevic has been the highlight for me as well. Such a powerful series, and man did it get the attention it deserved.

Side Note, I revamped my hxfour.com site last week to focus solely on exhibitions Ive thrown, have a look!. Will have some great print releases starting next month with photographer Matt Barnes, then up next will be Ben Tour. I curate independently in Toronto and throw some fun 1 night only pop-up street art exhibitions in large event spaces. Making plans for the next one now, which wont be until summer 2015. Takes a while to do them.

Rae's had a great showing in Africa. Phlegms show in London was dope. Really looking forward to Faith 47s upcoming show as well as Dal's.
