Hollywood’s underground art hotspot NEW IMAGE ART was awash in color when the “In Full Cry” group show curated by MATT LEINES & TAYLOR McKIMENS opened its doors this past Saturday nite. Featuring an eye-popping array of big and small works by MARK BELL, MELISSA BROWN, ETHAN HAYES-CHUTE, JAMES BENJAMIN-FRANKIN, MATT FURIE, LEIF GOLDBERG, JOSEPH HART, JASON HOLLEY, MISAKI KAWAI, JEFF LADOUCEUR, MATT LEINES, TAYLOR McKIMENS, and RYAN MROZOWSKI, the exhibit represented a closely-affiliated group of East Coast artists whose faux-naive styles often mask their technical virtuosities. Artspeak translation: a lot of this stuff looks like a fourth grader made it, but trust us, these cats can really draw. SNEEK A PEEK:

NYC///ART HYPE///MR BRAINWASH PERFECTS THE ART OF TURD POLISHING WITH THE OPENING OF “ICONS”

What has to be the final nail in the “Street Art” coffin was driven in last weekend by none other than MR. BRAINWASH (aka: “The Christian Audigier of Street Art”) when he opened his massive, self-produced “Icons” show in a rented space (which, ironically, was once a real art gallery, pre-recession) in the heart of Chelsea. As the subject of Brit Street Art king Banksy’s recent docu-parody film, “Exit Through The Gift Shop,” MBW has been the focus of much hype and speculation as his presence finally seeps into the fairly muddy stream of mainstream consciousness. Last week’s Wall Street Journal article articulated this particularly well:
