Well cheers to yourself with giving us the heads up, the canvas I bought was expensive for me but worth every penny! The collaboration sounds intriguing, when do we find out more on that?

[Wearology]

There is going to be several events in 2024 involving LA2 that will rock the urban art world.
The first is the release of a very in-depth documentary about LA2 that covers his career and life from 1982 - 2023 and the other is a collaboration with one of the most popular urban artists in the game today.
As always I will give the forum a heads up in advance !!!!!

[Wearology]

Mr. Doodle & LA2 have created a huge mural together on Grand Street / 6th Avenue in NYC on 10/4/23 and had an amazing pop up show the following day. This is the 1st time the 2 artists have collaborated together and it was amazing.  The mural came out great and the show was an absolute blast.  Thank you to the forum members that flew in from around the world for the show and a big shout out to Shepard Fairey, Jeffrey Dean Morgan & Hillarie Burton for making the event a bit more glamorous.

What a great little video. Wonder if this is part of the bigger movie out next year?

Seen some amazing collabs with LA2 already this year.

[Wanchope]

Just love seeing more and more of this guy! I hear there is a show in Rome I think coming up or has it happened yet?

I had interest in buying the London print but tax, shipping, etc. put me off.
I have a friend from UK visiting me soon... so if anyone bought but failed to pass the WAF, I am here

Thanks for posting Crytoowly, a great little clip, and will certainly look forward to the film.

I think D'stassiart has one available again now. Worth checking, getting your mate to drop by if keen?

Hey All,

I have had the pleasure of being involved in putting together Angel 'LAII' Ortiz' new UK show with D'Stassi Art in Shoreditch, London. This will be a huge collaborative exhibition with joint works from Angel and STIK, Shepard Fairey, Hambleton, Mr Doodle and Mark Kostabi.

I'd love to see some of you there please RSVP here. If you are able to make it (Feel free to put me as your point of contact as it would be great to try and meet you in person.)

"NEW EXHIBITION: We are thrilled to be able to invite @la2art back to the UK for a truly ground-breaking and incredibly important exhibition; ‘THE GREAT COLLABORATOR”.

Over the years Angel has acted as an influence/inspiration to many and has been a brilliantly successful and sought-after collaborator by his peers. We are proud to have played a part in putting together, for the first time in history, original never seen before collaboration works from other Legends like @obeygiant stik @mrdoodle Richard Hambleton + mark _kostabi

It is the 1st time that LA2 x Shepard "OBEY"Fairey have collaborated together and the original works look incredible !
I am so psyched that fans in the UK can see original works of art by LA2 x Richard "Shadowman" Hambleton,
LA2 x STIK, LA2 X Mr Doodle & LA2 x Mark Kostabi all in one setting.
For those forum members that have heard the name Angel "LA2" Ortiz, but don't truly understand his place in Urban Art history - there will be a movie coming out this fall that documents in detail his legendary career from the age of 12 painting with Keith Haring in 1980 to present day collaborations with OBEY.
If you like to visit museums you can always see his art in the Louvre (UAE), The Whitney (NYC), MOCA (LA) & MOMA (NYC).

[drbf]

Thought the UK members would like to see one of my LAll "London" pieces.

[Wearology]

The show at D'stassi will feature unique paintings by LA2 that showcase his iconic imagery from
1980 - 2024. One of my favorite pieces is a portrait of his best friend and collaborator Keith Haring.
The masterpiece has a lot of historical symbolism in it - the main colors of orange and black are the official colors of Keith's & LA2's original Graffiti Crew (TNS) - The Non Stoppers. The wings & halo signify that Keith is in Heaven.

[Wanchope]

Love that piece!! It should be a cracker of a show!

[Wearology]

The OBEY X LA2 collaborations came out amazing !!!!
Here is just a teaser of some of the originals on paper that
Shepard "OBEY" Fairey X Angel "LA2" Ortiz created together.
D'Stassi Gallery will have many more original works available at the Opening on May 10th.














empty smileys

[Wearology]

D'Stassi will respond to all forum members that RSVP'd for the show.
LA2 will be at the opening and so will additional American & British artists
that collaborated with LA2 throughout the years. It is going to be an epic event.
The RSVP's have been overwhelming, so please bear with us as we respond to everyone.
Thanks - Wear

Sorry, can't remember the tag used by Ortiz.

However, one of his aliases seems to be, "Lacks genuine talent and his recent paintings are terrible but, if we emphasise those Haring collaborations he did as a teenager in the eighties, people will still buy the crap, right?"

Or something to that effect.

[Matt]

Mr Doodle X LA2 ??

death by squiggly lines

Toast sandwich comes to mind

[Wearology]

I really like met contribution to the forum the past 15 years and find their comments insightful and well articulated. I will respectfully disagree with their public opinion that LA2 lacks talent and that his recent paintings are not well executed. I hope met and other critics of LA2 can check out the show at D'Stassi in person and see with their own eyes that LA2 definitely has talent and that his recent works are actually just as good and or better that his older ones.
Have a great weekend - Wear

[mik]

Hi there, just to see if there is any interest in previous collabo works of LA II. I have a few LA II + Paul Kostabi prints I would part with. I'd take some pictures over the weekend and put them in a seperate sales thread.

[jjpopup]

It’s gonna be epic, we’re defo there 🔥

[Wanchope]

For what it's worth I have just bought a second canvas to hang up and very excited to receive it! I'm trying everything possible to make it up there for the night and am sure it will be a good one!
