Barry McGee, Ed Templeton and Raymond Pettibon are pioneers and icons of the contemporary urban art movement. Their work can be found in the collections of major museums and has been shown at large exhibitions and biennales worldwide, but all three have repeatedly emphasised their roots in youth subculture – in the worlds of skateboarding, graffiti, punk and hip-hop.
These three sought-after artists are brought together by curator Aaron Rose, whose urban art documentary Beautiful Losers is currently touring the world, in the intimate atmosphere of Berlins Circleculture Gallery.

Wenn es im zeitgenössischen Handwerk noch einen Kult gibt, ist Bilderrahmen Janecki in der Berliner Gipsstrasse sicherlich ganz vorne mit dabei. Das zur Strasse hin offene Rahmenbauer-Atelier, direkt gegenüber unserer Circleculture Gallery ist mehr als ein nur Ort, an dem Holz, Leim und Pappe den Kunstwerken aller Genres zu einem geschütztem und aufgewertetem Dasein verhelfen.

Charlie Isoe: Judas Was A Good Dancer (2008), in courtesy of the artist & Circleculture Gallery

Isoes Arbeiten basieren meist auf persönlichen Erfahrungen und Beobachtungen, die er in seinem unmittelbaren Umfeld macht. Mit sechzehn Jahren brach er die Schule ab, um in die Welt des Graffitis, Skateboardings und Reisens einzutauchen und ein Leben auf der Straße führen. Anfang zwanzig, weit gereist und um einige Erfahrungen an Höhenflügen und Knochenbrüchen reicher, holte er seinen High School-Abschluss nach und erwarb anschließend seinen Abschluss in Bildender Kunst.

On November 20th the opening of Jaybo aka Monk’s solo exhibition ‘As Far As You Can See’ takes place at Circleculture Gallery. It will examine the themes of the horizon, vast stretches of expansiveness and a sense of light airiness. The title, itself reminiscent of a feeling of setting off for new horizons, foreshadows a few of the visual surprises in store.

Nailing down Jaybo’s works to a specific artistic genre seems nearly impossible in the face of the creative impulsiveness and eager experimentation that provide the key to understanding the allure of his works. Works which meaningfully negotiate between the genres of pop art, graffiti and street art and which also unselfconsciously contain implicit elements of Dadaism and Surrealism. When he founded the streetwear label “Irie Daily” and the cultural magazine “Style” at the beginning of the 1990’s, his influence on Berlin’s youth culture and fashion scene could be clearly seen. Even today, urban subculture is the driving force behind his artistic activities.

In this exhibition, Jaybo proves once again that he is one of the most versatile, well-rounded, fascinating figures in the movement currently being defined as urban art.

EXHIBITION: NOVEMBER 21ST TO FEBRUARY 1ST, CIRCLECULTURE GALLERY, GIPSSTR. 11, 10119 BERLIN MITTE
OPENING RECEPTION: NOVEMBER 20TH, 7PM
