WHO IS SHEEFY??? - Duboski Art Collaborative

MONICA DUBOSKI

DUBOSKI ART COLLAB CO-FOUNDER AND CONTRIBUTOR

Warhol, Haring, Basquiat.............McFly???

In less than a month, visual artist and musician, Sheefy McFly will make his Los Angeles debut in an exhibit plainly titled, “Sheefy: 3 weeks in LA.” When I pressed Sheefy to ask him if he would like to name it something a little catchier, he said, “Why not call it like it is?”

And indeed, Sheefy is right, his work speaks for itself. A Detroit native, Sheefy’s visual art no doubts pays homage to pop art gods such Warhol and Haring, and absolutely finds inspiration in the work of master surrealists such as Dali, and Picasso, but the result is something positively original and deeply relevant.

While Sheefy formally studied art in collage and post-graduate school, Sheefy is notably not part of the academy. He has larger-than-life personas and wears many hats including painter, muralist, fashion designer, rapper, producer, and DJ. Yet, miraculously, Sheefy is one of the lest-pretentious artists one will ever meet.
Sheefy’s love for creating mural art speaks to his deep desire to share his art with the city and people who helped shape his worldview. The tension in his work was poetically highlighted just this past summer, when Sheefy was arrested by Detroit police for painting a mural that was commissioned and paid for by that very same city. His experience influences his method and aesthetic. It is improvisational, bold, sensual, and works to give representation to the black body and form in unconventional ways. Sheefy was previously quoted as saying that, “I feel like I’m
drawing black people; thick noses, big lips — you feel me? It’s such a colorful twist that people aren’t thinking about [the race of the subjects] when they look at it.”

Who is Sheefy McFly? He is quite possibly the important new emerging artist and he’s coming to Los Angeles.

DAC Artist Spotlight: Taking Flight with Cameron Thompson

作者Monica Duboski %月 %日, %年 其他留言

  From a young age, Thompson has felt a deep connection to the earth and describes a special relationship with Aves in both a tangible and spiritual way. He credits both his Native American heritage and his mom’s experience of working with animals for his affinity for birds and what they represent. Particularly when he was young, he recounts how his single mom, already stretched thin, would rescue birds and animals in need and take them into their home, providing shelter and care. In discussing his participation in Native American sweat ceremonies (which are performed for spiritual and physical purification), he describes the presence and significance of birds, especially the hummingbird, as a symbol of ancestral wisdom.  To Thompson personally, the hummingbird appears in times of tragedy and death as a source of comfort and healing.

Duboski Art Collab Spotlight Artist: Phillip Simpson

作者Monica Duboski %月 %日, %年 其他留言

   Artist Phillip Simpson is living proof that one person truly can manifest infinite ripples of positivity and optimism into the universe. His mission is simple. He says, “My whole purpose with my artwork is to spread some sort of joy, where the viewer, whether child or adult, will see my work and get inspired to do good and be kind.” Most importantly, he wants people to remember, it’s okay to smile! Simpson says smiling is the language of happiness, which is exactly what he wants his art to covey.
If you’ve recently paid a visit to Detroit, or you’re a fan of the Detroit art renaissance, you have most likely noticed Simpson’s “Detroit is Home” mural installation on Broderick Tower. At more than twelve stories tall, the mural is a compilation of ten different smile faces (a Simpson hallmark) meant to abstractly represent all the different faces and colors of the people that call Detroit their city. You may have also noticed five full-length basketball courts splashed in his signature smiles and hearts, his numerous community murals, or you may have even been lucky enough to be invited to his studio. In any case, it’s hard to avoid the Phillip Simpson feel-good affect emanating from the Motor City.
