Iranian artist-duo and brothers ICY & SOT are currently based in Brooklyn, New York. The pair is widely-recognized for their politically-charged artworks spanning stencil art, public interventions, installations, as well as murals. Lauded as the “Banksys of Iran,” the brothers sought refuge in the United States after multiple arrests for illegal murals in Tabriz. They are dedicated to giving the younger generation a voice through their works, especially to those who don’t have the liberty to speak for themselves.
We teamed up with the Moco Museum to give one lucky winner two limited edition prints portraying breathtaking visuals by ICY & SOT. The first print entitled Color Rain 2013 measures 19 by 25 inches and the second dubbed Inexorable 2017 is sized at 13 by 10 inches. Both pieces are signed and numbered, having initially released as an edition of 25. The giveaway is part of this year’s Advent Calendar 2018 installment made in partnership with the Moco Museum.
Legendary graffiti writer Teach will soon launch his first-ever exhibition in London. The British artist will feature never-before-seen works at maharishi‘s Soho store. Accompanying the pieces is a release of zines, posters, alongside an exclusive capsule collection made in collaboration with the label.
“The works displayed will highlight one of Teach’s signature techniques: his application of paint and corrosive acid on metal panels, to create a unique rust texture; a nod, a connection to his past, a common graffiti technique used to hit subway trains,” said maharishi. “Teach, who has been active since the ’90s and a member of London’s infamous DDS crew, the Kings of the London Underground, has influenced a whole generation of younger writers from his ethos on the culture to his hand style, throw-up’s, trains and consistency.”
The exhibition and capsule collection will launch this December 6 at maharishi’s website and the in-store opening from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. GMT. In related stories, take a look at this week’s best art drops.
