"The wonderful is always beautiful, in fact only the wonderful is beautiful"
(the "Manifest du Surrealism", Andre Breton 1924).

From March 17^th to April 28^th MondoPOP presents “Atelier Popsurréaliste” a closer look on French Popsurréaliste imagery.
Curated by David Vecchiato and Serana Melandri

There is much talk about Surrealism. After the explosion of the new Californian art labeled “Lowbrow" by the artist Robert Williams and later "Pop Surrealism" by the critic Kirsten Andersonthe references to irrational issues in the New Contemporary Art from around the world are constantly increasing.The French Surrealism of Breton is therefore emerged in the production of new generations of artists since the image culture has produced a sort of collective unconscious that draws from all over the world in producing figurative images, not so complex to be interpreted and easily shared.And it is the sharing, by the web, which makes these new imaginaries, as well as widespread, so globalized that the challenge become to identify the country of origin of the artists who produced them.

MondoPOP accepts this challenge, laying a careful look at contemporary productions to the Urban or Pop Surrealist Art created in the Homeland of Surrealism: France.

Twelve of the most promising French artists from the Low Brow Art, Urban Art and Pop Surrealism show two pieces each to the Italian public.
Twelve points of view that will make access to their workshops to explain the new art from France.

MondoPOP’s “street room” becomes a Popsurréaliste Atelier that with the coming of the Spring opens to visitors.

Enjoy it.

OPENING PARTY

Sabato 17 Marzo H 19.00

@MONDOPOP gallery

Via dei Greci 30

Beach Gallery + Kids Love Ink, 20-14 Cheshire Street, E2 6EH, London.

Supported by DC, the 4th edition of Burning Ink will take place in London to the Beach Gallery in collaboration with Kids Love Ink from the 13th to the 31th of march.

Opening evening on the 15th of march.

The concept is as radical and unique as before: all the handmade drawings – more than 20 – designed by selected artists will be burnt at the end of the show. A very different concept to an ordinary art show, no one can go home with the art in its hands. The only way for the drawings to survive the flames is to be bought and inked into the buyers’ skin, making each design a unique tattoo by the very talented Charlie Shazer in his tattoo parlor Kids Love Ink.

Artists from all over the world : United Kingdom, United-States, France, Mexico, Russia, Singapore and Czech Republic.

Selected artists are Clyde Barrow (UK), Seth Curtis (UK), Fos (UK), French (UK), Funkfu (Czech Rep), Jef & Kostek @La Boucherie Moderne (Belgium/Berlin), Ilk (France), Jeykill (France), Marke Newton (UK/Paris), Odö (France), Osmoze (France/Montreal), Prunelle (France), SBTG (Singapore), Scien+Klor & Dean @123klan (France/Montreal), Charlie Shazer (UK), Ssur (Russia/USA), Spoe (France), Superdeux (France/San Francisco), Timothée Talard (France), Simon True (UK), Chloe Trujillo (L.A.), Xghetto666 (Mexico), and more…
