‘Avoid the Noid’ by Dredske (14.25x14.25, acrylic & ink on a pizza box) Contact [email protected] “My creative work is a playful commentary on issues regarding society, technology, and culture. I’m inspired by the middle ground where fantasy meets reality, western and eastern pop cultures, and my own cultural background and experiences. These inspirations are responsible for the visual language that I decide to employ in my works. Acrylic paint is my primary medium, but I also incorporate elements of collage, aerosol paint, inkjet transfer, and some other techniques and mediums in my process to allow for a contrast in textures and imagery which enables me to synthesize a more dynamic composition and visual experience. Some pieces can feel like a stream of consciousness; free flowing figurative elements, paint, mark making, cartoons, and found paper and objects all synergize on a surface to paint a bigger picture.” - @dredske88 . . . . #art #dredske #pizzabox #chicagoartist #chicagoart #artoncardboard #elephantroomgalleryartist #elephantroomgallery #southloopchicago #southloop #collectart #mixedmedia https://www.instagram.com/p/CD9QuCeD7vY/?igshid=15m1q01naovte

In the studio with Dredske @dredske88 & Rahmaan Statik @rahmaanstatik .... BlackBook Sessions opens Saturday, Oct. 28th 5:30-9pm @elephantroomgallery Popular amongst graffiti writers/artists, these blackbooks contain detailed drawings, writing, and collaborative works, as the books are often passed back and forth. The blackbook is where one develops their style, serving as documentation of the artist’s evolution, thus becoming a sort of style guide. Just as proprietary companies outline the rules for their branding and identity in their style guides, the blackbook houses the writer's visual identity and serves as a reference point for the artist and anyone trying to understand the basis or origin of their style. The name, “The Blackbook Sessions” is inspired by a mixtape series put out by the hip hop collectives and labels Galapagos 4 and Nacrobats, which featured art by Josh Grotto (Jash) and music by local artists such as Pugslee Atoms, Cosmo Galactus, Off-white, Prime and more. . . . #gallery #elephantroomgallery #elephantroomchicago #chiart #chicagoart #chicago #blackbooks #graffiti #streetartist #muralists #chicagomuralists #supportthearts #rahmaanstatik #dredske #chicagostreetart #artists #southloop #southloopchicago #drawings #sketch #artistblackbook #collectart # (at Elephant Room Gallery)
