We first noticed Stickman in front of the old Witney Museum in New York around 2009. Since then we have spotted his tiny figures all across America.
He is by far one of the most prolific street installation artists in North America installing work for over 20 years. That pre-dates the popularization of the term Street Art. His work is rarely mentioned because you have to have an eye for hidden detail and travel a lot to really appreciate the scope of his placement.
We stopped by Chandran Gallery this weekend to check out “Witch-Wife”, the latest collaborative exhibition from Swoon and Monica Canilao. This vibrant installation impressively fills the entire gallery, leading you through a poetic landscape of intricate works of art highlighting themes of poverty, women’s rights and our relationship to both objects and each other. From small detailed assemblages, massive hand painted block print wheat pastes and larger then life puppets that humbly invite you to cozy up inside of them, the detail throughout this show is impeccable and worth the experience.
