The watchword is thus revealed… fingers crossed; the best is yet to come… for the less as for the most optimistic. The shattering period that the whole planet has just suffered seems to be gradually fading with a daily life under the sign of the “health pass”, but which is slowly restoring some sort of normality. The world of art can attest to it, opening its blinds one after the other, for the joy of amateurs and collectors; exhibitions, fairs, openings, festivals, and other such events with divine artistic prowess, are now returning into our schedules…
Surfing on this dynamic, STUART takes you with this new issue into the distant universe of the Bristol Art Museum, with an exhibition retracing the epic of the Bristolian scene, experimental bastion of the underground graffiti movement at the time of the New York surge led by Subway Art, never seen before. And in order not to lose the momentum, it is in Marseille through the interstices of the subversive drips of the ruthless desacralizer of luxury brand ZEVS that we will hang for a while. Then we’ll keep moving, following the saturated snapshots of the big cities perforating the nightly effervescence of ‘Tokyo by night’, the “so British” and unavoidable Dan Kitchener headlining our cover. While, at the antipodes, towards the wilderness of the Australian Outback, we will give a delicate look at the finesse of the figurative abstractionist works of the muralist James Reka.
Time for us to recover our seven-league boots, and go for spectacular strides,in cosmic pursuit of the incomparable pagan installations, dotted like deities in the four corners of the globe by Daniel Popper.
In the heart of Catalonia, another destination and contemplative magic formula will operate in the highly coveted wake of the Bauhaus signature in topsy-turvy architectural volumes, the unusual creativity of Cinta Vidal. And since nothing can last forever, our last stop will be at the hyper realistic confines of the wonderful bestiary of a naturalist, with surprising predisposions, Mantra, which we hope will make you wish for unusual perennial excursions on the unmarked trails of dreams.
Happy new year to you and may you enjoy reading this new issue of your favorite magazine.
