Maihiro presents Mr. Smiling: by Susan Lee

FROM TAIWAN TO ORLANDO.

WHEN YOU’RE SMILING, THE WHOLE WORLD SMILES WITH YOU! :) Mai Hiro’s first gallery event of 2013 features the fantastic work of a new member from its growing team. Highlighting the works of Susan Lee, this event will take place at Redefine Art Gallery in Orlando, Florida on Thursday, May 16, 2013. The artist’s vision for this exhibition focuses on her character, Mr. Smiling, and his expansive world, which can be explored within the fine watercolor, sketch, and digital print illustrations and a large wall-mounted installation piece. Her limited edition, 9×12 Eiffel Tower prints, along with an event keychain produced by Urban Forest Jewelry will be available to guests during the exhibition opening. As always, members of the Mai Hiro team will be in attendance to talk about the latest developments for the Mai Hiro studio beyond their designer toys. Together, we can make the room bright with all of the cheerful grins brought on by Susan Lee, Mai Hiro, and certainly Mr. Smiling.

The Invisible Woman Print by Peter Van Flores III Drops Today, May 10th. Only 60 Available.

PETERVANFLORESPRINT

     Peter Van Flores III, the son of Graffiti Writer STOR and a 14 year old mother was born and raised in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, Avenue D to be exact. Gaining inspiration from the 21 straight years living in the gritty Jacob Riis Housing Projects combined with the focused tranquil pace of his current art studio in Orlando Florida, Peter has found a mental common ground where the rough memories, cultured experiences, and both the pessimistic and optimistic realities meet. Concentrating on socio-political and urban art, Peter has made a name for himself by visually expressing his ideas on walls, wood, and canvas. Most importantly he’s at a place where this mental melting pot of harsh and hopeful creates constructive thought and upliftment through perception.

      Now one of his ideas comes to life by way of archival print. During the 2012 international art showcase Art Basel in Miami, Florida, Peter Van Flores III showcased “The Invisible Woman” for the first time through a 13 foot mural done for the www.MoreThanSunshine.com Mural Project. The young Muslim girl portraying the Fantastic Four’s see through superhero stirred emotions, conversations on beliefs, and stereotypes. After an overwhelming response, Peter Van Flores III and Redefine Gallery decided it was time for a limited edition print run of this lasting figure’s first impression. Only 60 pieces will be available worldwide, printed on 18″ x 24″ RC Archival Paper with Archival Inks, each meant to last over 100+ years for museum quality. All prints will be signed using micro Archival Pigment ink, numbered, and lastly embossed to ensure authenticity.

Tony Philippou – Come As You Are

Redefine-TonyPhilippou

==============================================================================

Some words from Tony:

Producing a lasting image is what mainly concerns me. My work revolves largely around urban architecture of The Bronx and the daydreams I had as a child. What I want to show my viewers is the large sprawling environment in a way most would not normally see it. I put symbolic staples of the environment in every piece such as buses, trains, fire hydrants and Ice cream trucks along with a combination of animals and flowers to create a surreal street scene with very contrasting elements.

The paintings in this show will consists of a variety of 4 separate collections I have done. Which is The Jeezus Pieces, Judas Pieces, Mary in BronxZooland & some select separate pieces. With it being my first show in Orlando I wanted to show my collection as it is. No predisposed notions of what to look at or for. I just want people to enjoy the imagery for what it is. Come as you Are and Enjoy!

Trophies By Loaf Ninja

Emerging from the toxic smoke stacks, putrid shores, and dilapidated bread factories of Beaumont Texas the Loaf Ninja sneaks across forest, field and sea, laying waste to unsuspecting victims, collecting trophies revered by societies the world over.
Nature trembles along his path, humans fear and admire him.

Marvel in terror, wonder in amazement at your brief opportunity to peer into the colorful imagination of Loaf Ninja, as he pauses his path of destruction to share his Trophies for the first time ever, displayed on the walls of Redefine Gallery of Orlando Florida.

Not man, nor beast, nor the earth itself is free of the tormented path that is laid by the Loaf.
