“Eyes of the Street” Showcases the Talents of Brazilian Afrofuturist Muralist Enivo at the Consulate General of Brazil in New York

Born in 1986 in São Paulo, the hugely beloved Brazilian artist Enivo began getting up on his native city’s streets at age 12. His artwork has, since, surfaced on walls, in festivals and in galleries worldwide.  It has been presented, too, in such prestigious institutions as Museu de Arte Sacra de São Paulo and National Museum of Brasilia.

As an art educator, Enivo has inspired and trained hundreds of young people from “underprivileged neighborhoods.” And, together with a group of other artists, he founded the A7MA Gallery in Vila Madalena, where he has curated over 70 exhibitions, providing artists with opportunities to showcase and sell their art.

During his recent NYC residency, Enivo created a body of new work, Eyes of the Street. “In the art studio, I combine my street and academic knowledge, mixing graffiti materials with oil paint,” he explains.

Featured above is the artist posed next to his recent oil painting, Jacaré — fashioned with oil, spray paint and pastel on canvas. What follows are several more images captured at the reception following Enivo‘s talk with “Eyes of the Street” curator Simon Watson.

FIRE AT WILL: FEYM

• Name: Feym
• Crew: Wn1 (hip hop female crew) & Calavers.
• City-country: San Luis de Potosí, Mexico.
• Active since: first illegal throw ups in 2004.
• First piece: I started painting in 2004 with illegal graffiti, it was something very experimental that I did not like because the colors were very similar to those of the fence, and my first legal piece was in 2009 in an event in the city of Tuxtla Gutierrez, Chiapas. It was the first time I left my city to do graffiti, in an 18 hour road trip. It was worth it, I met a lot of female talent in the south of my country and made friendships that are still valid today.
• Favorite piece: My favorite piece was at the Callegenera festival in 2018 in the city of Monterrey. The festival was transcendent because I met Martha Cooper and I am proud to belong to her photographic archive. In that same festival I did a photo shoot for Nika Kramer from Germany. These two important characters in the history of Hip Hop, were a very satisfying reward for my trajectory. Right after photographing me Martha told me: "keep it up, because of people like you I continue to live this beautiful movement that I love".
• Style: Wildstyle, and huge pieces. I love pieces in freight trains.
• Partners in crime: My girls form Wn1, every and each one of them are important, for all that we have achieved as a team. And my train-loving friends, who are always good company on this odyssey.
• Favorite cap: Level 1y astrofat ire fey.

“Landmark” Continues at One Art Space Through 1/29 with: Peter Paid, Bluster One, Charlie Doves, Jeff Henriquez & Danny Cortes

Curated by Kate Storch, “Landmark” is both aesthetically stirring and culturally enriching. Featuring artworks in a range of media by Joe Conzo, Charlie Doves, Bluster One, Peter Paid, Jeff Henriquez and Danny Cortes, the exhibition continues through this Sunday, January 29 at One Art Space in Tribeca. While visiting yesterday afternoon, I had the opportunity to pose a few questions to Kate.

This exhibition is a wonderful homage to hip-hop and to its iconic locations. What spurred you to curate it?

I’d been wanting to curate an exhibition on this theme for awhile. And the beginning of 2023, the year that celebrates the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, seemed like the ideal time to make it happen.

How did you decide which artists to feature?

I chose artists whom I admire as professionals and as people. They are all different, yet all are related to the culture in their own distinct ways. Joe Conzo photographed hip-hop from its early days in the South Bronx. His contributions to the culture are invaluable. I’ve been a huge fan of Charlie Doves for years. He is a master of the craft. I love Bluster One‘s signature style. Music runs through it. Peter Paid brilliantly captures the aesthetics of graffiti in his signage. I had a wonderful experience working with Jeff Henriquez several years ago at the Summer Classics Block Party For National Hip Hop Day at First Street Park. And Danny Cortes‘s expertise, energy, patience and humility increasingly impress me.

What were some of the challenges that curating this exhibit presented?

There are always challenges when curating, but in this case, they were limited. Everything has gone remarkably smoothly. All of the artists are great people — and easy to work with!

The exhibition is so beautifully installed. Can you tell us something about that?

The installation is entirely my vision. I had given the placement of the art considerable thought, and I had the artistic freedom here at One Art Space to make it happen. I wanted it all to come to life! I wanted it to be an experience.

How can folks see the exhibit?

One Art Space is located at 23 Warren Street in Tribeca. The exhibit continues through Sunday from 1:00 PM – 6: 00 PM daily. Easily reached by just about every subway line, the gallery can be contacted at 646-559-0535.

Congratulations, Kate!

5 WAYS TO USE THE MTN HEADLAMP THAT YOU HADN’T THOUGHT OF

Our brothers from SprayPlanet took the initiative to launch the MTN Headlamp, a headlamp that is of great help for those situations in which extra lighting is needed. Because it is a product that may be of interest outside the U.S. we have also decided to launch it from the headquarters in Barcelona. You may think that this is a completely expendable gadget, but this tool offers a solution for many problems beyond strictly painting.

---

AN UNDERVALUED ACCESSORY

Why didn't I bring a headlamp with me? This phrase has crossed the mind of every writer running through a tunnel, going down a vent ladder with his hands full, or looking for fallen mouthpieces from a broken bag in the middle of a field. How is it possible that such a useful tool is so seldom used? Surely it is due to the stress caused by the question that this need creates: Which one do I buy?

THE QUALITATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MTN HEADLAMP

Although all headlamps are, to inexperienced eyes, all the same, pricing (which can range between 7 and 200 euros) is an example of the wide variety of options and features that exist in this sector. Thus, the MTN Headlamp includes a series of features that offer great versatility, such as its remarkable 400 lumens of power, its resistance to water, its different light modes (including red light and flickering) or the possibility to charge it via USB. Therefore, this headlamp is not only extremely useful for painting or accessing places with limited light, but it also serves for many other tasks, a few of which we have broken down for you below.

1-BICYCLE LIGHTING AND SIGNAGE

Since it is a lighting instrument, the MTN Headlamp can serve as an emergency light for bike riding, in the event that the bike does not possess its own lighting system or has been damaged. Since it also has a red light option, the headlamp can also serve as a rear light to alert other vehicles.

2-A HUGE HELP FOR UNEXPECTED CAR TROUBLE

Have you ever had to add coolant to your vehicle in a dimly lit place? Well, sooner or later it might happen to you. Although we all have a flashlight on our cellphones, the MTN Headlamp facilitates all kinds of unforeseen tasks that we have to attend to in our vehicles during a night trip, from changing a tire to preparing the color combination of your piece in the trunk.

3-ARTISTIC ILLUMINATION FOR PHOTOGRAPHS

The MTN Headlamp serves as extra lighting for all types of photographs, including those we take of our pieces. In addition to serving as a spotlight, it can also be used to add surprising lines of light in long-exposure photographs.

4-HELP MAKING TATTOOS

Many tattoo artists use headlamps to see better during their work. As the world of graffiti is full of tattoo artists, this tool can be very useful in both fields.

5-AMBIENCE FOR PARTIES

The MTN Headlamp has different lighting modes to choose from, including a flashing light in both white and red, which can help set the mood at improvised parties or in places where a technical device does not exist or cannot be prepared for that purpose. It may seem silly, but give it a try and let us know how it goes. If you want to get your hands on this item, ask your local MTN store or distributor.
