Provocative and fresh new mixed-media prints from a Toronto based artist who uses a mixture of drawing and collage. Influenced by vintage pornographic materials and provocative imagery to convey the playfulness of sexual behavior.

More details to follow . . .

[Coach]

Rae,
Thank you so much for the invites.
Absolutely bloody brilliant



And I just love the Sluijs (lucky to get two!)





The bottom one is my favorite. Beatiful little pieces of original art. I know the frames are not the best, but wanted to get these on display as soon as I could.

Thanks again Rae.
Had a look at the available pieces - the Sluijs in particular are fantastic.
Cheers, and good luck with the remainder of the show.

naughty ;D

[Coach]

I like the look of these Rae - especially that top one
Shame they weren't released in time for valentines day!
Mind you taking my partner to football on valentines day AND buying her one of these might have been a step too far!

Doesn't seem to be any postings on this amazing duo from Berlin but VARIOUS & GOULD have been doing their thing for awhile now. We had a show with them and DAIN in 2008. So fresh. These are a series of prints they are releasing with us for their upcoming show with another talented artist about to appear on your radar named: SPECTER. Don't say we didn't warn you.

The concept of “work” can be interpreted in many different ways depending on whom you hit up. Brooklyn-based artist, SPECTER and German duo VARIOUS & GOULD have each located discarded materials, used skill and ingenuity and re-conceptualized things in pulsating ways you might never have imagined. All this done in effort to turn the concept of “work” on its ear in an exhibition appropriately titled, “Make It Fit”.

Cart-pushers, delivery boys and slave-laborers – take the spotlight in much of the work created by the artist who goes simply by the name Specter. With all of his portraits based on real people living at the bottom of the capitalist barrel, Specter forces the general public to see what they might rather not – those who got left behind. Collecting materials in much the same fashion his subjects do, Specter incorporates shopping carts, bicycles, and crates along with engaging images of your everyday worker, paying special attention to what makes them tick. His work is hand-crafted, retro-fitted, clever and fresh.

For the creative team of Various & Gould the concept of “work” means looking well beyond the vigor of the everyday tasks one has to perform for a paycheck and instead focusing on the surprisingly graceful interaction between a laborer and his tools. Imagine peering into the cut-out holes we often see at a construction site and being exposed to a vibrant world of multi-colored uniforms, enlarged tools and graphic text. A world where workers trade body parts depending on their needs, moving in tandem while performing their repetitive tasks in a choreographed “workers waltz”. Using found objects, work related symbols and their refined silkscreen techniques, the line between work and play becomes blurred inside the imaginative minds of Various & Gould.

Brooklynite Gallery is located at 334 Malcolm X Blvd., Brooklyn, New York 11233. We are open Thursday thru Saturday from 1pm – 7pm or by appointment. We are located 2 blocks from the A or C subway to Utica Ave. stop.

Invites hand-done by the artists. 4 color screen-printed on both sides.

Bravo, Brooklynite!

[nigelbgg]

Nice stuff.

[BROOKLYNITE]

Invites went out a few days ago-- There should be a bit more to go around than the last show we had. The artists usually make about 500 total and our mailing list is 6 times that. We try to spread the love as much as we can.

In the meantime you can check out some behind the scenes images updated regularly on our FLICKR page:
