REBEL YELL GALLERY ANNOUNCES ITS GRAND OPENING ON AUGUST 13
Rebel Yell Gallery at La Gonda Arcade, 203 K Rd, will be celebrating its grand opening with ‘Love and other catastrophes’ an exhibition showcasing the art of Stacey Roper and JINX.
Friends from a young age, both artists grew up in Taranaki, and have developed their own distinct styles, drawing from their professional experiences in advertising and sign writing mixed with their love of skateboarding, music, hot rods, New Zealand and everything in between.
“Coming from The Naki has definitely had a big influence on my art, there’s a lot of Kiwiana and New Zealand culture that comes through.” says artist and exhibitor JINX.
Both artists have honed their art and create engaging, highly attractive, polished pieces that present a direct standpoint that people can connect with. There’s also often some dark humour that comes through which adds an element of entertainment to the works.
Rebel Yell Gallery is dedicated to exhibiting a genre of work influenced by story illustration, comic book art, science fiction, movie poster art, motion picture production and effects, animation, music art and posters, psychedelic and punk rock art, hot rod and biker art, surfer, beach bum and skateboard graphics, graffiti art, tattoo art, pin-up art, deviant, erotic art, pornography and myriad other place egalitarian art forms. It’s all about Lowbrow art and artists.
Lowbrow art with its roots in all things counter culture and askew of the norm, has taken on a pivotal role in the art scene, it speaks from the streets and manages to offer a point of view that is often unique and never dull.
“We wanted to offer a space where lowbrow artists could share their work in a public friendly environment, people are welcome to stay awhile and see some of the great work NZ artists are doing – this is art for everyone.” says Stacey Roper, artist and director of Rebel Yell.
If you’re ready for some NZ art that is new, fresh and exciting, Rebel Yell Gallery with its blend of art and object from both upcoming and established lowbrow NZ artists is the place to go.
