My old school pal Eric Yahnker is currently riding that wave of unstoppable popularity (he was last month’s cover artist for Juxtapoz) and tonight he is featured in a group show opening in Culver City. Get out there, and expand the senses 🙂

FACEMAKER (a group show)
April 13—May 31, 2011

Royal/T
8910 Washington Blvd
Culver City, CA 90232

Tonight at Royal/T in Culver City, Ben Jones, Shepard Fairey, Takashi Murakami, Barry McGee, Kenny Scharf, Eric Yahnker, Jane Moseley, Olaf Breuning, and others will explore interpretations of the most universal element of human perception: the face.

Kathy Grayson of The Hole NYC is curating the show. And, as you may know now, Yahnker is our May 2011 issue cover artist, and Olaf Breuning has a 14-page feature. The show opens at 8PM.

“The exhibit explores the inherent tendency to see faces in all objects, which drives each artist to re-imagine the basic figure—whether idiosyncratic, fragmented, collaged, psychological, or geometric. With works from several New York and West Coast-based graffiti artists as well as those from The Hole, all the pieces on display—for the first time ever at Royal/T—will be for sale throughout the duration of the exhibit.”
