ANGELINA drops soon

“Angelina” is a Fine Art Multiple printed on heavy-weight Hahnemuhle Photo Rag. The edition was created by silkscreening overprint and 7 colors (up to 6 layers of ink per color) onto an archival pigment print of the photograph. Published by Modern Multiples and printed by Master Printer Ivan Alpuche, this edition marks the first-ever collaboration print for both Lionel Deluy and The Art of Chase.

The widely known photograph, by Lionel Deluy, features a pre-fame Angelina Jolie in one of her early modeling shoots. Shot in the early '90s in a classic Hollywood apartment, this image is part of his eminent “Bathroom Series”, originally published in Vogue magazine. The photo session was one of French-born Lionel’s first shoots in Los Angeles and would serve as an iconic start to a long career of celebrity portraiture.

Chase’s signature psychedelic eyes drip down over the image as if to mark the passage of time. LA has given so much to the Belgian-born street artist, and he has given much back in return.  His uplifting artwork has adorned countless walls around LA—and the world—for decades.

Both Lionel and Chase have been LA residents for 25+ years.

Pray to the Gods of Honey // After lots of design and paint work, The Hive’s second location is finally open. I painted a total of 6 areas which include tributes to Albrecht Durer (who first drew the ‘Study of the Hands of an Apostle’ in 1508, and to Okusai, who created the woodblock print ‘The Wave’ in 1829.

The superfood cafe is located at the ground floor of AMLI, a luxury apartment complex in Marina Del Rey.

A little tribute to the Belgian surrealist Magritte’s painting ‘The Treachery of Images.’ Painted in 1929, ‘Ceci n’est pas une pipe’ translates to ‘this is not a pipe,’ causing much confusion in the viewer.  Magritte’s point was that it was not a pipe, it was a PAINTING of a pipe, and that you definitely should not light it and smoke it. What a rascal.
