Commissioned by Colossal Media, this reproduction of “Free Fall” is hard to miss. From Colossal Media: “[We have] created The Big Brush Project because we have something to say not something to sell, walls like this one highlight our aim to promote precision, dedication, ethics, and passion. For us It’s about taking time, it’s about getting it right and were proud to do so with like minded artists. Be on the lookout for more artwork on big walls around NYC.” Congratulations to the artist and his collaborators, we’re excited to see future projects. You can see this one in person at Bedford and Broadway in Brooklyn, NY. 2013-05-07T20:52:35+00:00 http://joshualinergallery.com/gallery/newsarticle/ian_francis_season_1_episode_0_opening_photots/ http://joshualinergallery.com/gallery/newsarticle/ian_francis_season_1_episode_0_opening_photots/ Kicking off our solo exhibition schedule, Ian Francis brings us Season 1 Episode 0 — a show inspired by the reality and unreality of contemporary TV. Comprised of 12 canvas paintings and ten drawings on acrylic panel, each work is a scene unfolding within Francis’ theme. Thanks to everyone who made it to the opening and to the artist for this great offering.

In this article available online, we’re given a chance to see Matsuyama’s offering with his vibrant textile installation and overlapping paintings (above image courtesy Cool Hunting.) If you’re in the area, Matsuyama will be giving an artist lecture at Harvard University, moderated by David Howell, Professor of Japanese History, on April 25th, 2013. 2013-04-02T18:51:56+00:00 http://joshualinergallery.com/gallery/newsarticle/Inaugural_Group_Show_at_the_New_Gallery/ http://joshualinergallery.com/gallery/newsarticle/Inaugural_Group_Show_at_the_New_Gallery/ After many years on the third floor of a building, neighbored by other galleries, we are so fortunate to invite everyone to our brand new, ground floor space. Just one door over on 28th Street, we haven’t moved far but the difference is astounding. On a block with so much new activity, Joshua Liner Gallery’s new exhibition space offers artists an opportunity to showcase their work with 500+ square feet. Please enjoy some of the images from the inaugural group show, Direct Address—we look forward to having you by soon! Patrons admiring a new diptych, Auspicious Dream, by Tibetan artist Pema Rinzin.

These are the artists you can look forward to seeing at our inaugural group show, Direct Address, opening March 21st, 2013 at the new gallery in Chelsea. You’ll see some familiar names from the roster, though there are some new artists that round out the group. Please join us in celebration of our new gallery and this impressive group of people and their work. 2013-03-13T12:28:50+00:00 http://joshualinergallery.com/gallery/newsarticle/title_of_news_article/ http://joshualinergallery.com/gallery/newsarticle/title_of_news_article/ “There was a time, as recently as the 1980s, when storefronts, murals, banners, barn signs, billboards, and even street signs were all hand-lettered with brush and paint. But, like many skilled trades, the sign industry has been overrun by the techno-fueled promise of quicker and cheaper. The resulting proliferation of computer-designed, die-cut vinyl lettering and inkjet printers has ushered a creeping sameness into our landscape. Fortunately, there is a growing trend to seek out traditional sign painters and a renaissance in the trade.” -SIGN PAINTERS 2013-03-07T12:20:47+00:00 http://joshualinergallery.com/gallery/newsarticle/tomokazu_matsuyama_studio_visit/ http://joshualinergallery.com/gallery/newsarticle/tomokazu_matsuyama_studio_visit/ As a wonderful antecedent to Matsuyama’s inclusion in Edo Pop, a new exhibition at the Japan Society, CoolHunting gives us a little background on the artist and a look into his studio: “Matsu grew up mostly in Japan, but spent several years in California before moving to NYC, where he’s lived for the past decade since completing his MFA at Pratt. His international background and street art friends clearly inform his work, but it’s his fascination with color and art history that really leads to such abstract, yet highly controlled works.” Thanks to Karen Day for these great images from her studio visit. 2013-03-06T12:18:16+00:00 http://joshualinergallery.com/gallery/newsarticle/greg_lamarche_cover_feature/ http://joshualinergallery.com/gallery/newsarticle/greg_lamarche_cover_feature/ Here on the cover of Graffiti Art Magazine, Greg Lamarche headlines this special New York edition of the publication. 2013-02-25T12:12:29+00:00 http://joshualinergallery.com/gallery/newsarticle/new_ground_floor_gallery/ http://joshualinergallery.com/gallery/newsarticle/new_ground_floor_gallery/ Our new home for at least the next 10 years. 2,630 square feet with 15 foot high ceilings and concrete floors.

Detailing a bit of his biography, the article goes on to describe his new Icy Signs shop in Brooklyn and his community outreach—giving signs to business owners in need, without charge. 2013-01-04T01:05:51+00:00 http://joshualinergallery.com/gallery/newsarticle/steve_powers_-_studio_gangster/ http://joshualinergallery.com/gallery/newsarticle/steve_powers_-_studio_gangster/ Here is Stephen Powers in this great video interview, talking about his ‘Love Letter’ to Brooklyn, collaborating with a community and representing them in his public works, as well as the legality (and absurdity) of painting on walls. 2013-01-03T00:17:05+00:00
