VIDEO: ASLYM & RUETS "SOURCES OF INSPIRATION & DAMNATION"

ASLYM & RUETS "SOURCES OF INSPIRATION & DAMNATION" from Tradition on Vimeo.

Here's a video I made of Aslym & Ruets' recent show, Sources of Inspiration & Damnation, at Tradition. The show opened a month or so back, and we took the down today.

Asylm
His work depicts a harmonious coexistence of nature and the urban landscape. He combines his humming bird icons, beautiful muses, Mesoamerican iconography, along with wild style depiction of words and letters over an abstract background with that of his urban graffiti palette (since 1989), so to think he is merely painting pictures, would be a mistake. He is creating spiritual trances.

Ruets
Known for his linear formation and contemporary letter structure, Los Angeles based artist Tommy Ruets earned himself a nationwide following due to his stylistically innovative approach. Pushing the boundaries of traditional graffiti, Ruets continues to up the ante combining a distinct configuration of line and proportion into something undeniably original. Equally visually stimulating are his hundreds works on paper and wood, Comprised of bold flat color and fine-line work.
