THE EVENT:

This holiday party and exhibition is to show appreciation for supporters, friends and family.  Without unconditional love and support, Aerosol Warfare Gallery would not be here.  Join Aerosol Warfare for a night of reflection, fun and grateful vibes!   GONZO247 has created a series of affordable custom artwork for this holiday event!  Aerosol Warfare wants to end this year on a great note and reward and thank everyone who has stayed by their side, naughty or nice! 

THE ARTIST:

GONZO247 is a native Houstonian who was exposed to graffiti and began his pursuit in 1984 as an artist.  GONZO247’s list of achievements includes opening Aerosol Warfare Gallery, producing a video series, establishing a Houston Wall Of Fame (the city’s largest art production of its kind) and working with top brands like Converse, Red Bull, Coca Cola and Sony on advertising campaigns that speak to urban communities.

These days GONZO247 maintains a street, urban and graffiti art gallery, Aerosol Warfare; practices his own artwork and supports other art organizations and artists.  He has also found a love for teaching his medium through a local program that offers street and urban art workshops & classes for kids and colleges.  Recently he taught at Art League Houston, Rice University, Kipp Academy, Eastwood Academy and other institutions.

Opening Reception

Saturday, August 15th, 2009

7pm to 11pm

Aerosol Warfare Gallery has the privilege to host the final leg of Texas’ first traveling graffiti art exhibition. “Pieced Together” All Texas Graffiti Art Show began its journey last year in Austin, TX when graffiti pioneer (and curator), SLOKE, pulled together some top aerosol artists from major cities in Texas and ‘pieced together’ the exhibition. Since then, this art show has traveled to cities such as Brooklyn, Los Angeles, Phoenix and San Francisco.  Houston is the final destination and we are ready to throw a Texas Size Ho-Down to celebrate the successful run of an exhibition that the LA Weekly describes as a “hybridized style existing in this stylistic space between two art worlds”!

Artists Include: Austin – Sloke, Wake, Spain & Mez; San Antonio – Enks, Duo & Supher; Houston – Coler, Weah, Sode, & GONZO247; Dallas – Soner & Lawgic; El Paso – Grave, Myker & Durock; The Valley – Dmise & News.

CKCStart Street and Urban Arts & Graffiti Research Lab collaborate to give you a chance to “Get Up” across from Aerosol Warfare. Get there early for a couple of workshops on L.A.S.E.R. TAG and Get Up once the sun goes down.  Audio Entertainment provided by Mr. Bristle and Divine Wind with other Dj’s to be announced. Complimentary refreshments provided by our generous sponsors: Sweet Leaf Tea & Red Bull. Adult beverages provided by Silver Eagle Distributors.  This event is Free, open to the public and is family friendly.

Opening Reception

Friday, June 26^th, 2009

7pm to 11pm

Aerosol Warfare has teamed up with toy designer Jamungo to bring you a unique exhibition featuring customized urban vinyl toys. Through a “first-come – first-served” open call, 50 “Blow Up Dolls” were obtained by local artists, photographers, graphic designers, and other creative types with the mission of customizing their dolls and bringing them to life! The result? A dynamic exhibition: “Blow Up Houston”!

At the center of it all lies Jamungo’s “Blow Up Dolls” which come in two varieties: NADE (who has a grenade as a head) and BUD (who’s head is an old school bomb with a fuse and match stick). These toys are 9” tall and made of rotocast vinyl, so they are light, hollow and ready for DYI!

All artwork will be on display at Aerosol Warfare Gallery & Boutique, opening Friday, June 26^th, on display through July 31^st.
