re a few close ups of the walls...

hello lovers,

a few close ups of the walls at the unit/pitt gallery in vancouver, bc. by now, all this work is long gone, sanded down and repainted by Brynn, one of the coolest gallery assistants i've ever met. 

don't ask about the art, i only know Take 5 did the cool wildstyle piece and Bracken did the cool ovoid looking alien things. not sure who did the thunderbird or ocm, but i was told it was the same person. very cool stuff.

it was really amazing to paint on the walls of an art gallery. liberating. the last few shows i've curated have been all about disrupting the played out and boring gallery rules. art should be visceral. dirty. not all clean and sterile white wall gallery standard shows. so done. so lifeless. so soulless. so lame. i'm from the streets, and the underground, and i want art to move from the confines of a canvas or a frame or a project and move along the walls and into your mind. 

street art is perfect for that in galleries, and it is here today, gone tomorrow and i love and loathe that aspect of it. it takes so much time, effort and MONEY to get good at it, and then some dumb ass toy comes along and wrecks it. or some graffiti task force jackass comes along and blands it out with monkey shit green, bored suburban house wife beige, and battleship grey......

anyways, happy monday people,

cb

OCM did this i believe.

kamloops own TAKE 5

did this, a legend in the graffiti scene

nationally even.

i think david wrote stuff on the walls.

cease wyss did this stencil

from the thunderbird restaurant. 

part of the original piece i did

fire is cleansing

it represents many things

in this piece.

bracken hanuse corlett

did the circular UFO things and 

left behind these two.

keith higgins

CEO, COO, CFO

and ruler of the Unit/Pitt domain

and you get a sense of the scope

and size of these works.

that's my kyoti throwie bomb

in front of Mt. Peter and Mt. Paul

in Kamloops, BC.

the green line represents the pulse

the heartbeat

and it got slower

as it left the land and the forest

and went into the city.

most of my work has visual metaphors

so if you  know that much

you can see that much more

in my work

i like to layer things 

and make people work for it.

i did.

until next time lovers,

cb

ps: it's nice when projects come together

my whole life people said

i'd never be where i am today.

fuck you

good thing i didn't listen.
