This is by far one of our most favorite pieces we have seen Horfe paint yet. It resembles more of an abstract painting you would see on a canvas than graffiti in the street. 

Last month, Old Boot – Further Adventures in Comic Abstraction opened at Silwex House for a very short 3 days.  The group exhibition curated by Lucas Dillon in collaboration with Gallerie Goldstein, included work from artists Horfe, Petro, Ken Sortais, Lucas Dillon, Murray O’Grady and Russel Maurice. We found some photos of the brief lasting exhibition that had a diverse selection of work.

Dazed and Confused wrote an article which notes Cony, Horfe and others from PAL crew as part of a loosely defined genre described as “Comic Abstraction.” As the author states, “Taken one way, the works are innocuous, colourful, abstract shapes. Turn back and they lurch, grimace and menace, Disney turned evil. Sortais is one of the finest examples of new Comic Abstraction, pushing it to new directions with an infectious energy.” 

Visiting New York with his fellow members of PAL crew for a group exhibition, Horfe got some painting done in the streets including adding his touch to this truck.

This weekend in NYC, one of our favorite graffiti artists, Horfe, will be joining others in a group show at Klughaus Gallery. One of the reasons we have always admired the works of the Parisian artist is his mixture of classic animation and illustration to a public medium, creating a unique and prolific body of work on the streets. Here is our interview with the artist from January 2012.

Many members of the Parisian graffiti crew, PAL are currently in New York for their upcoming exhibition “Palingenesis” in collaboration with artist Gorey at Klughaus Gallery. The crew got together and painted a wall that can be seen off the Williamsburg Bridge on the Manhattan side. The lineup consists of Horfe, Tomek, Gorey, Esso, Cony, Skub, and Mosa. 

Next week, the Parisian graffiti crew, PAL (Peace and Love), will be descending on New York for their exhibition in collaboration with artist Gorey at Klughaus Gallery. The show will feature work from members Horfe, Cony, Tomek, Saeio, Mosa, Esso, and Skub. The opening reception is on Saturday, May 11, 2013 from 6-10 p.m . at a pop up location located at 154 Stanton St. (@ Suffolk St.) New York, NY 10002. Be sure to RSVP at rsvp@klughaus.net.

What is being exposed under the cloak of this character is the madness and creativity of Horfe.
