Nick Walker has arrived...finally



A year ago I started working with Bristol, UK based street artist Nick Walker. Nick is an original. He helped shape the Bristol street artist (some say graffiti) movement some 20 years ago that gave rise to Banksy. Long overlooked, not really into commercial gallery whatevers, Nick just hung out in his studio cutting stencils and making work. He produced limited edition prints and canvas editions. He occasionally ventured out onto the streets of Bristol and applied his vision to a wall, or a door, or whatever he thought needed a bit of color.

Well, Nick has arrived, finally, and recognition is around him.


Last week, Nick sold out his first solo show in Los Angeles. Then one of his amazing Moona Lisa canvas paintings sold for $90,000 at an auction in London. Demand for his work shot out across the pond. RSG has been getting countless requests for the edition "Can't Be Too Careful" and the paintings in stock sold first thing.

We here at RSG wish Nick the best on his success and the art world finally paying some attention. Nick is priceless and a true original who cares more about the work than most baggy pant, aerosol wielding kids that write their names everywhere.

Cara Ober

Well, by now you have all seen, heard, or witnessed the ongoing debate concerning Cara's work being appropriated by another Baltimore based artist. It made the front page of the Baltimore Sun and was commented on in the Washington Post.
So, it seems fitting as Cara's represented gallery in DC to make a statement...so here it is.

There is only one Cara Ober and she is an original.
Her vocabulary has been in the making for (withheld by threat) years
and it will still be refined and expanded in the many years ahead
long after this is all forgotten.
That vocabulary is hers and her authenticity rests
within the narratives she constructs.



We hope you will join us for her first solo exhibition at RSG on March 8th. Please make sure you are on the mailing list to receive upcoming announcements!

New Artists: In Sook Kim

A friend of mine in New Mexico turned me on to In Sook Kim, a Korean photographer who is doing wild things with, umm, lets say, the old notion of the "Peep Show".

Be looking out for this one.
