Mint and Serf Edition Release
@ Line Dot Editions
1023 N. Western Ave. Chicago, IL 60622
Opening Saturday, October 1st, from 6PM - 10PM
Come next Saturday to the release of an exclusive edition of hand-finished prints by the New York graffiti duo Mint&Serf. Each of the five Muffins (2016) prints have been tagged by Mint&Serf in their signature handstyles, heightening the exuberant layering of the original composition and rendering each piece unique.
With their raw aesthetic and enthralling depth, Mint&Serf’s work stands in opposition to the anesthetized graffiti of corporate ad campaigns and more conventional artistic modes. During late night sessions tagging canvasses with members of their crew Peter Pan Posse (PPP), Mint&Serf translate the subversive attitude and lifestyle of graffiti culture directly into their work. The duo has been featured in a multitude of publications including ARTFORUM, NYMag, Interview Magazine, The DailyMail and Vice.
Also on October 1st we will be releasing an edition of four original works on paper by the Dutch graffiti legend Niels Meulman, aka Shoe. Meulman is known internationally for his amalgamation of graffiti and calligraphy into a single art form deemed Calligraffiti. The bold brushwork and intricate curves of his linework are derived from a long interest in the beauty of the written word and reference an impressive range of forms both ancient and modern. Widely acclaimed, Meulman’s Calligraffiti paintings have been shown in numerous international exhibitions and are in the permanent collections of the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
All artwork will first be available in-person at the gallery on Saturday night, followed by a release on our site www.linedoteditions.com
