The Leo Kestling Gallery has so many vivid attention grabbing peices that I chose to give each it’s own post. First up to bat, is the obviously attention grabber – a collection of Works by Dick Chicken. Yea you read right, the artist’s name is Dick Chicken. For me his work was love at first sight as it mirrored a Keith Haring style. Peep the pics…

Surrounded by so many “dicks” makes me feel like I’m gettin run train on by a group of college football players…

Dick Chicken’s work is a definite homage to Keith Haring’s work, but at the same time keeping his style signature. His work is of the many featured in a collection of contemporary street art at the Leo Kestling Gallery. More to come!

The gallery opening reception in Chelsea was amazing. Through converstation alot of people started to pick up a theme in the artwork of American being “Dead”. Debateable. In the words of Mr. Cudi himself – The sky might fall… but I’m not worried at all…

Keith Haring is hands down one of my favorite artists. If you’re not familiar with him then his art may seem remedial and cartoonish. When actually there is always a message behind his work. Its one of those things people tend to under-estimate… I can relate.

The Crack is wack murals are a lasting reminder of Haring’s art. He wanted to warn nyc kids against drug’s use during the height of the crack epidemic – hence its pupose on the handball court. Located at 128th street and Harlem Riverside Drive, I have always loved this mural everytime I passed by. Keith Haring died of AIDS in 1990, but his work is still very much alive…
